American Horror Story Hair

You will need:

Pin tail comb

Kirby grips

Hair pins

Medium curling tongs

Afro comb

Paddle brush

Method:

Preparation:

-Do a side or middle parting using the pintail comb.

-Section the hair off at the front.

-Complete three curls on either side of the parting, curling the hair away from the parting and over towards each ear.

-When curling comb the hair through and pull the hair in the opposite direction slightly when curling so that it sits nicely on the sections when the curl is finished.

-Curl the hair like you are putting a roller in.

-Hold the tongs in place for several seconds and then release and secure the curls in place with kirby grips.

-If the hair is very soft or difficult to work with you may want to put mouse in the hair and dry it with a hairdryer before curling it.

-Then do a curl on either side of the sets of three curls, curling the hair towards the face and griping in place. Pull the hair backwards as you are curling forwards.

- Then behind the side curls do a line with two curls and then behind that a line with one, this is the brickwork technique. Still pull the hair backwards as you are curling forwards.

-The hair going down the back of the head also uses the brickwork technique, but the curls are going backwards so pull the hair forwards as you are curling. Carry on the brickwork pattern until you have used all of the hair.

-You may find it easier to do the curls going down the back of the head first before the ones at the side.

Up-do:

-When all of the curls have cooled and set unpin the ones going down the back and at the sides.

-If there are any gaps between the curls backcomb them at the roots by pulling the hair forwards and then backcombing.

-Comb through the hair with an afro comb.

-Twist one set of the side curls and pin using a Kirby grip length ways and then a pin to secure any loose hair.

-Do the same with the other side section of hair.

-Roll the hair at the bottom and pin.

-Pull the curls at the front backwards one at a time starting with the curl closest to the ears on either sides.

-Curl the hair at the bottom of the hair around itself and secure with a kirby grip, hiding the grip as much as you can.

-Do the same with the other curls at the front of the hair.

 Sleek look:

-Take all the pins out of the hair. This look can be done after the preparation curls or after the updo.

-Brush the hair through using a paddle brush.

-Use your hand to support and shape the hair as you brush it through. Brush hair over and under your hand and place hair towards your face so that it frames it.

Dishevelled look:

-This look can be done when you have removed the pins from the curled hair, after the up-do, or after it has been brushed through to create the sleek look.

-Shake the hair by asking your model to turn their head upside down and use your fingers to dishevel the hair at the roots.

-Then ask your model to put their head back up again and continue to shake the rest of the hair with your hands to break up the curls.

dark eyes and lips

Dark eyes and lips

You will need:

Eyeshadow in different shades from light to dark

Pencil eyeliner

Mascara

False eyelashes-optional

Eyeshadow brushes

Blending brushes

Cotton buds

Mac oil free lotion

Tissue or loose powder

Lip liner

Lip sticks

Lip gloss

Lip brush

Method, Dark Eyes:

-If your model already has some make-up on you can leave it and put other products over the top.

-If your model hasn’t got any make-up on you need to apply a base for example primer, foundation and powder. Apply these as you would do normally, some cream eyeshadows work better without powdering the base make-up.

-Apply a medium coloured cream eyeshadow all over the eyelid with a round brush using patting movements and then blending.

-Also blend using a clean fluffy brush.

-Do both eyes at the same time in case your model is taken away from you.

-Keep asking your model to open and close their eyes so that you can see the shape you’re creating.

-use a cotton bud to remove any powder that falls down. You can also use Mac oil free lotion to remove mistakes. You can place tissue or loose powder under the eye to catch fallen product if you need to.

-Build up the colour using darker shades on the outer half of the eyelid and then use the darkest shade on the outer corners of the eyelid. You can use cream or powder eyeshadow for this. Keep using a patting movement to apply the products and then blend them in well using small circular motions.

-Apply dark pencil eyeliner to the lash line, you can use a brush to apply it. Have the eyes closed at first and then open when applying the eyeliner. Maybelline Black Pot eyeliner is also good and can be used in the crease of the eye to make the look even darker.

-Then use eyeliner on the bottom lash line and in the waterline, Maybelline black pot can also be used for this

-Then use one of the darkest eyeshadows under the lash line.

-Apply mascara and false eyelashes if you want to.

-Then apply concealer, foundation and powder around the eye area and the rest of the face. Make sure it is blended with the eye make-up, use a little bit of eyeshadow to do this if necessary.

Dark lips

-Use lip liner all over the lips to create the shape you want. Such as Mac lip liner in Spice

-Then apply lipstick that matches the lip liner using a lip brush.

-You can use a slightly lighter shade in the centre of the lips to make them look fuller if you want to, make sure you blend the two colours together well.

-Blot using tissue and add more layers of lipstick.

-Then use lip gloss such as Lancome Matte gloss and apply using a lip brush.

injuries

You will need:

Moulds

Gelatine- flesh coloured

Petrolise

Vaseline

Prosaide

Cotton buds

Pro clean remover

Witch hazel

Translucent powder

Round brush

Small brushes suitable for colouring scars and applying blood

Supracolor

Moisturiser

Fixer spray

Fake blood  if you want to use it- for wounds rather than scars

Method:

-Use moulds to make wounds for example scars. This can be done by using flesh coloured gelatine, which is available in different shades to match different people’s skin.

-The moulds can be cleaned before and after use by spraying them with Petrolise which is a release spray and can be used when silicone or latex is used in moulds as well. Alternatively Vaseline can be used before the products are put into the moulds.

-Apply Prosaide to the area of skin the prosthetic is going to be on and also to the prosthetic. Prosaide is a type of contact glue, at first it is a white, milky colour and as it dries it becomes clear. Use a cotton bud to apply the Prosaide.

-Wait for the Prosaide to go clear and then stick the prosthetic to the skin. Make sure you press down firmly and hold it in place whilst the glue dries. You can then use a hair dryer to make sure it is fully dry.

-A barrier cream is not normally needed when using Prosaide, you can use it if you want to, if the model has extremely sensitive skin.

-A patch test is not usually required for Prosaide.

-Prosaide must be removed properly with Pro Clean remover.

-When the prosthetic is stuck to the skin the edges can be softened and blended into the skin by dissolving them slightly using a cotton bud soaked in witch hazel. Use a forwards and backwards movement to do this, towards the prosthetic and then away from it.

-Then powder the prosthetic using a product such as translucent powder.

-Use Supracolor to colour the to make them look like scars or wounds using small brushes. Mix the Supracolor with moisturiser if you need to make it thinner or more transparent.

-Use a fixer spary over the Supracolor before applying any fake blood so that it doesn’t smudge. Use Vaseline over the Supracolor if you want the wound to look wet. Shine and moisture make the wounds look more 3D.

-When you have removed the prosthetic using Pro Clean remover, powder it before storing it especially if there are several moulds in a box. This will help stop them from sticking together if they melt slightly.

-Moulds are used a lot for continuity to make prosthetics, you can get them from many places such as Charles Fox and Neil’s Materials- Neil Gorton’s company.

- For continuity take photos as you go along and look at the scar or wound in the mirror as it will look more like it will do on camera as the naked eye pics up more detail when directly looking close up at the wound than a camera.

Burns

You will need:

Bottled gelatine, Powder Gelotine or block gelatine which is better as less product is wasted- from Charles fox or Asda. From some suppliers you can get a variety of colours.

Gel glycerine can also be used, it’s good for fashion as you can draw patterns onto the skin using it.

Glycerine -used for sweat or to make things look shinny. You can also mix it with Aquacolor and colour hair with it.

You can use latex or colodian instead of gelotin but you must use a barrier cream when using colodian.

Small bowl

Spatulas

Supracolor

Small brushes

Hairdryer

Powder

Old make-up puff

Cotton buds

Witch hazel or warm water

Method:

-Remove glycerine and gelatine with warm water when you have finished.

-Gelotine is good if someone is allergic to latex, however if someone is vegan then use latex.

-They don’t require a barrier cream.

-Melt the gelatine in a microwave, checking its consistency approximately every 15 seconds.

-If using block gelatine put it in a microwaveable bowl and melt a small amount at a time so you don’t waste any product.

-If the gelatine comes in a bottle or is powdered, put some into a dish and mix with a small amount of water.

-Stir the gelatine to make sure it is heated all the way through.

-Always test the gelatine temperature on yourself before applying it to anyone else for example on the back of your hand.

-If you are using metal tools be careful as the metal will get warm easily.

-You can melt the gelatine again if it cools and becomes too solid to work with.

-You can mix glitter into gelatine for fashion looks but mix it in after you have melted the gelatine as glitter is metal. You can also mix in tissue to look like flaky skin- this sometimes works better when using latex.

-You can mix Aquacolor with the gelatine after you have melted it and this can go back into the microwave.

-Apply the gelatine to the skin using a spatula- preferably not metal.

-Work fast as the gelatine will go tacky quickly, mould it into the shape you want. Press down firmly onto the skin and then lift the spatula up using a patting motion.

-Blend the gelatine into the skin making sure there are no hard edges.

-Dry with a hairdryer on a cool setting.

-Powder over the gelatine using an old make-up puff.

-Use another layer of gelatine if needed to blend the edges.

-You can use a cotton bud soaked in witch hazel or warm water to melt and blend the edges.

-Then powder again.

-Apply Supracolor using small brushes to create the burn, apply a thin layer or mix with moisturiser to make it look transparent.

-You can apply a skin colour to add depth and make it look realistic.

-You can use fake blood on top if you want.

-You can use glycerine to make the burn look shiny, if it is near the eye area though use Vaseline instead.

-Gelotine can be used on the face and around the eye area, it’s better than latex for this.
