FMS408HodgkinsNGothicHorror: Makeup: Sweat tears & Fever

Sweat, fever and tears

This week we looked at creating fever, sweat and tears. Fever is created when someone has a disease or subtle illness, for example caused by flu which can give you a high temperature making people feel hot, sweaty and showing that red/flushed look over the cheeks especially and forehead.

I used the supra color palette with a stiple sponge to create that effect on the cheeks and forehead. It looked really effective and I like how simple yet effective it looks, I mixed the red & pink colours together and built the product up to create the effect.

HEALTH & SAFETY

Make sure your client is covered up
Make sure the skin well prepped (cleanse, tone and moisturise)
Make sure latex, spirit gum is patch tested on model before use 48 hrs before
Keep hair away from the face when applying products/ makeup
Decant products between each model
Keep work surface clear and surrounding area

It is important to be careful near the eye area, do not go to close, you want to make it look realistic but can cause serious irritation if comes in contact.

Products & Materials used for Fever and sweat:

Supra color palette red & pink
Stiple sponge
Glycerine applied with a cotton bud- sweat effect

Images of building up the supra color with the stiple sponge stages to create slight fever of the skin, simple yet very effective on camera.

After creating the fever I added sweat to give it more of an impact to show the illness because with fever comes sweat usually and by using a cotton bud I applied the Glycerine working from the hair line and dabbing it on the skin creating the 'dripping sweat' effect; I like with the Glycerine how it sticks but slowly drips down the skin.

I built this up as you will see in the photographs below. I thoroughly enjoyed the simplicity of this task and how effective it looks with applying it correctly to created the sick sweaty fever illness.

I built the Glycerine into the hair line and pulled the hair onto the face to make it look more realistic where the hair is stuck to the face due to 'sweat'. I made sure it dripped down the sides of the face where you usually find you sweat the most and down the temples. I had fun doing this task and I was happy with the outcome and guidance from sue.
