Cuts...

• Prep the skin as normal then apply a base coat.
• Apply a thin layer of wax onto the skin then blend out the edges using moisturiser and a palette knife.
• Use a hair dryer to dry the wax then once the wax is dry use the palette knife to draw a faint line across the wax creating a cut. (Always test the heat of the hair dryer on your own neck or wrist/arm before you use it on the model.)
• Now apply Kryolan Sealer along the wax using a baby bud. (You can double dip with this product because it contains alcohol.)
• Now using a hair pin dip it in the red supra colour and gently drag down the faint line created in the wax, forming a blood cut.
• A stipple sponge can then be dragged down the cheek to form fake scratches. (This is also a good way of creating cut knuckles. Putting blood in a pump dispenser and spraying onto the cuts also makes a good effect.)

Remove the harsh make-up with toner as this will be gentler and more effective on the skin.

Deep Cuts...

• Roll wax in your hands to create a long cylinder shape.
• Use a palette knife to spread onto the skin and blend edges into skin using moisturiser.

• Mould the wax around the skin to create a more natural look. Play/lift/mould.

This type of wax work is very effective when used on noses to change their shape.
