Dirty teeth, zombie dirt and experiencing with collodion

Particularly enjoying playing with the make-up "mud" and creating zombie hands. Quite intense session as well as last week because I experienced with collodion as I haven't got time until now.

DEMO PICTURES: 

PRODUCTS USED: 

• Kryolan tooth enamel in black and yellow;
• Fuller's Earth mud;
• Surgical spirit;
•  Kryolan (hair) sprays in dirty gray, black and burgundy;
• Dark blood;
• Water;
• Collodion.

Other products that can be used: 

• Kryolan supracolour;
• Vaseline.

TOOLS USED: 

• Baby buds;
• Metal palette;
• Metal spatula;
• Bowl;
• Hairdryer.

HEALTH AND SAFETY: 

• You can't use the tooth enamel on newly bleached teeth;
• DO NOT SWALLOW SURGICAL SPIRIT;
• As an alternative to surgical spirit, you can use whitening toothpaste but it might not do as good a job as surgical spirit;
• Don't double dip in the product;
• Test the heat of the hairdryer on yourself before using on a model;
• Make sure to cover up your model so that you don't get any product on them or their clothing;
• Scoop out fuller's earth from your bowl and put in the bin to clean it out;
• ALWAYS, ALWAYS PUT ON BARRIER FOAM BEFORE COLLODION.

Other information: 

• If you want to colour the inside of the mouth you can use food colouring;
• If any tooth enamel goes on the lips, use surgical spirit to remove it;
• You can also ask your model to suck on some liquorice which will blacken the inside of the mouth;
• You can use the black to block out teeth entirely;
• The yellow will give the rotten look to the teeth;
• You can also use a fine brush to shape the teeth.

HOW TO: 

• Dirty teeth

1. Shake the bottle of tooth enamel to make sure that the product is properly mixed;
2. Dry the tooth with a baby bud;
3. Use a baby bud to apply the product onto the teeth (or a brush for better coverage);
4. Wait until dry, then the model can close the mouth.

• Zombie dirt

1. Mix fuller's earth with a bit of water in a bowl to create the mud;
2. Apply with a brush or with your hands a small amount of product at first;
3. Dry with a warm/cold hairdryer;
4. Reapply another layer of mud;
5. Dry partially;
6. Spray the colours wanted on the mud;
7. Spray the blood or apply with a brush, depending on the finish you want.

• Collodion burn

1. APPLY BARRIER FOAM;
2. Apply one layer or MAXIMUM two of collodion, otherwise it won't look good;
3. Dry with a cool hairdryer;
4. Squeeze the skin to make it look like the skin has fine lines;
5. Apply vaseline or/+ blood/+ supracolour and blend.

REMOVING: 

• Dirty teeth: use surgical spirit on a baby bud to take it off.
• Zombie dirt: water will do.
• Collodion burn: if you apply barrier foam before it should easily come off with spirit gum, water, or in the worst scenario with isopropyl alcohol.

MY RESULTS:

REFLECTION:

Ok so the most important thing when using collodion: USE BARRIER FOAM! Otherwise it really won't come off easy and you'll have trouble with the skin. I didn't really know how to apply it so I just asumed that it is for burns and stuff but I've researched lately and it is more for scars. Meh, next time. Anyway, I'm kinda pleased of the result as it really looked as burned skin in the process of healing in my oppinion.
In love with the zombie hands! Must experience more with this mud and with the kryolan sprays wich are aaaaamazing.
Don't really like the dirty teeth... :))
