What this video covers

Madeyewlook's Alexys Fleming walks through a special effects makeup look that simulates shattered glass embedded in the face, complete with realistic wounds and blood. The tutorial uses Mehron SFX products including Extra Flesh and Fixative A to build convincing lacerated skin around actual decorative glass pieces. Fake coagulated blood and red body paint add gory depth and realism to the finished look. The result is a striking, gore-forward Halloween costume makeup effect.

Key takeaways

  • Mehron SFX kit products (Extra Flesh, Fixative A, Coagulated Blood Gel) are central to building the wound illusion
  • Decorative shattered glass available at hardware stores creates the focal prop element
  • Paradise AQ in red and Tooth FX blood red add layered color realism
  • Technique involves sculpting skin texture around glass pieces for a seamless embedded effect
  • Rated mildly gory — not recommended for those sensitive to realistic blood imagery
