What this video covers
This tutorial from Madeyewlook walks through a zipper-eyes special effects look in which the skin around the eyes appears peeled back and rolled away. The technique combines modeling wax, liquid latex, and alcohol-activated paints to create a convincing, gory illusion. At roughly six minutes, the video moves quickly and is aimed at viewers who already have some SFX makeup experience. A blood and gore warning is included given the realistic wound simulation.
Key takeaways
- ◆Modeling wax and liquid latex are used together to build up the peeled-skin texture around the eyes
- ◆PPI Skin Illustrator and FX Illustrator provide the flesh-tone and wound coloring
- ◆Translucent powder helps set the finished look for durability
- ◆Creator cautions against using the look to deceive or frighten people into thinking a real injury has occurred
