Sweaty, Fever look...

Sweaty, Fever look...

• Prep the face as normal, ensuring it is heavily moisturised.
• This look involves adding brown and sepia colours to the skin and subtly following the bone structure of the face. Make sure its taken all the way into the hair line.
• Blend the colours with moisturiser to create an ill looking shine on the face and to help blend. (Using supra colours or concealer palette.)
• Add some of the DUO eyelash glue to the lips to create a dried, cracked look. Blue can also be added to the lips to create an ill look and some added blood will make them look even more dead/pained. The blood can also be taken down the neck as a rash.
• To make the eyes look watery and sensitive add tears to the tear ducts using glycerine. Apply with an ear bud. (Always check if your model wears contact lenses, be extra careful if so.) Glycerine enables people to get a good camera shot of a fallen tear as it slowly falls down the face unlike water. (Glycerine can also be mixed with coloured pigments to create a wet look colour.)

Effects products used:

1. Always research different diseases as they look different at different times/eras.
2. Always know at what point the illness is/ what stage so you can for continuity.
3. Consider that everyone looks different ill, some people go pale others go flushed and red.
