What this video covers

Makeup artist Alexys Fleming (Madeyewlook) demonstrates how to create a disturbing trypophobia-inspired skin effect using special effects products. The look simulates clusters of holes or wounds on the skin using modeling wax, adhesive, and alcohol-activated paints. At roughly six minutes, the tutorial moves efficiently through product application and painting steps. A content warning is prominently issued for viewers sensitive to hole-pattern imagery or mild gore.

Key takeaways

  • Modeling wax and Pros-Aid form the structural base for the faux wound texture
  • Skin Illustrator alcohol-activated palettes are used to add realistic color and depth
  • Setting powder helps lock the finished look in place
  • Creator strongly cautions against wearing the effect in public in a way that could cause genuine alarm
  • Viewer discretion is advised — not suitable for those with trypophobia
