And now some information on how you can draw a scar on your face, arm or leg at home.
Drawing a scar on the body is even very simple. This requires some cosmetical tools such as lip pencil, eye shadow, liquid lipstick or lip gloss.
There are such ways of applying makeup in the form of a scar: a scar drawn with a pencil, using liquid collodion, using flour and PVA glue.
Scar drawn with pencil
First you need to draw the base. To do this you need to draw a line the right size in the place where you decided to draw the scar, use a lip pencil (it is advisable to take a bright pink or red pencil). It is necessary to sharpen the pencil so that its lead is thin, and then draw the desired line on the body. You choose the size and shape of the line “to your taste.” The line can be prima or wavy. The location of the future drawing can be anywhere.
Now you need to take PVA glue and a lip brush, only a thin one. Then apply a little PVA glue to the brush and use it to draw a line under the future drawn scar. You need to try to make the line without smeared parts, because if the line is smeared, then the future drawing will not look neat. After this, you need to wait a few minutes for the glue to dry. Many will ask the question: why do you need glue? And glue is needed to create a convex surface of the scar to enhance the effect. Making a scar with just a pencil and eye shadow, without using glue, is very difficult.
When the glue dries, it will have a yellowish tint. And so that he looks like real scar, you will need to tint it pink using shadows. What if you don’t have any shadows on hand? Pink colour, then you can mix several shades of shadows to obtain desired color. Shadows should be applied to the line with a soft brush. And so that the shadows do not stand out against the background of the skin, you need to shade them well. The painted scar is already ready, and it will be very similar to the real one.
A scar that is drawn using liquid collodion
The ideal tool for creating body makeup is liquid collodion. Liquid collodion is a transparent medical glue that is used to secure bandages.
You need to draw the scar with a bright pink lip pencil. The line should be thin. Then you need to draw the line with short strokes to the thickness you want.
Now you need to apply liquid collodion to the scar line with a brush. In order not to pull a lot of skin under the collodion, the line will need to be drawn with it not very thick. Collodion dries in just 5 minutes. After the collodion dries, a tight skin forms under the film. This is the scar effect. And whoever wants to make the drawn scar deeper, just needs to apply another layer of collodion. And when the glue is completely dry, you can proceed to the next stage of applying makeup.
The glue around the edges of the scar glistens. You need to correct this situation with the help of foundation. Needs to be shaded Foundation and then paint on the scar with liquid lipstick or light red lip gloss. Lipstick or lip gloss is used to get the effect of a recently received wound that has already begun to heal.
A scar that is painted with flour and PVA glue
But who wants to draw a terrible and rough scar on their body? To do this, you need to take PVA glue and mix it with flour. Take a spoonful of flour and add glue to it; there should be a little less glue than flour. Then you need to apply the resulting mass and give it the appearance of a scar. And to create the appearance of a cut, you need to divide this applied mass into two parts. Wait until this mass dries, and then you need to cover it with shadows to get the desired scar effect.
Painted scars can be created for both short-term wear and long-term wear. It all depends on your desire.

Painted scar for short term wear
Drawing a scar, as we already know, is not difficult or expensive. It is not recommended to walk with such a scar in rainy weather or to the beach. First you need to take a few spoons of flour and mix it with PVA glue. The consistency should be doughy. The area of the skin where you plan to draw a scar must be degreased with cologne or alcohol. You need to take a brush or toothbrush, scoop up a little of the resulting mixture and apply it to the body, preferably with a small bump in the center. Then you need to wet your fingers with water and smooth the edges flush with the skin. Then, using your fingertips, you need to form a tubercle of the scar in order to give it the desired shape.
After this you need to mix watercolor paints of red, brown and white. The color of the resulting paint should match the color of your skin. This paint must be applied to the scar and the skin around it. And to give emphasis to the swelling of the scar, you need to apply a mixture of paints with the addition of watercolor paint Red. After the applied paint has dried, you need to apply a little foundation to the painted scar so that there is no shine. This pattern can last on the body for about 3 hours.
Painted scar for long term wear
Those scars that can be worn longer long time They don’t look as impressive, but their appearance is more realistic. Girls and women prefer neat scars rather than ugly scars with bumps. To draw such a scar, you need to draw a line on the body with a red chemical pencil. Then you need to carefully work out some of its areas so that the drawing looks not like a thin scratch, but a cut. Then you need to cover the scar with PVA glue using a thin brush. And who wants such a scar to last a longer time and not be affected by the environment, you need to cover it with transparent superglue, and not PVA glue.
In order to create an imitation of the effect of a scar, it is better to use not ordinary glue to tighten the skin, but eyelid glue or a product that professional make-up artists use to create scars.
Then you need to treat the edges of the scar with red blush or outline them a little with red lipstick. Then you need to blend lipstick or blush to create the impression of redness around the scar. You need to apply a little foundation over the created scar to eliminate the shine of the glue and to make the transitions between colors less bright.

How to make scars with makeup
The more realistic the makeup, the more believable the entire image. Therefore, the scar must be made voluminous, with traces of blood and cuts. To create a natural scar you will need:
- theatrical makeup (can be replaced with decorative cosmetics);
- PVA glue;
- brushes and nail file;
- alcohol and cotton wool;
- sculptural plasticine (you can try replacing it with ordinary one);
- hand cream and powder;
- reddish nail polish.
First, decide on the location where the scar will be located. It is best to choose an area on the face or neck, because it is most convenient to apply makeup on your own and at the same time it will be clearly visible to others.
We offer you a step-by-step guide to creating a scar at home.
What kind of Halloween look can you create with scar makeup?
Firstly, multiple scars made using this technique can be applied not only to the face, but also to the entire body, which expands the range of possible images. Secondly, horrific wounds and scars are integral components of almost all fancy dress costumes for All Saints Day.
If you don’t want to bother too much with a suit, then you should choose the role of a zombie or a victim of a maniac. Movie fans can choose an image from their favorite movies, for example, Harry Potter, Joker or Edward Scissorhands. Scars on the wrists will help create the image of a suicide, and a cut larynx will create the image of a dead man.
Pirates, robbers, maniacs and other wicked individuals also bear scars. For girls, the image of a militant Amazon or the heroine of Japanese legends - the Lady with the Scar Kuchisake Onna - is suitable.
A zombie, monster, or mad scientist Halloween party look wouldn't be complete without scars. We'll tell you how to draw them.
Healed scar
These scars appear as pinkish or whitish swelling on the skin. You will need some eyelash glue (or just liquid silicone), foundation, White paint, powder, a little makeup and cotton buds. Squeeze a little glue onto the area where you want to make a scar and adjust it with your fingers until you achieve it. the desired shape and length.
These factors depend on your taste (or canonical image, if you are imitating the scar of some scary character), but in general, scars rarely look natural if they are perfectly straight and the same thickness along their entire length. They are usually a little uneven. Roll up some of the glue on one side (lengthwise) with your finger to make a small roller.
Add, very carefully, a little white paint and rub it nearby until the glue is no longer transparent. The base for the scar is ready - now treat its edges with foundation and powder so that it looks protruding from the skin. Please note that soft color transitions should only be done near the very edges of the glue roller.
You can add in the same way, before the stage of coloring with powder and cream, a few cross stripes- make them different lengths and a little obliquely - to imitate scars also from rough stitches that once sewed up your imaginary “wound”.
If you want to make a deep or not completely healed scar, make two rolls very close to each other (less high than in a classic scar), and smoothly tapering off towards the end. And when painting them, treat the inside, between them, with pink or burgundy makeup.

Big scar with blood
If you want to make a large scar, burn or rotting wound, especially suitable for a zombie look, you will need, in addition to eyelash glue, foundation, powder or beige eyeshadow for eyelids, blush and makeup of different colors (red, white, black, shades of red), ordinary white napkins ( toilet paper will also work if it is not dense and white).
Sometimes, for greater authenticity, it is recommended to add sticky cooked oatmeal or lumps of gelatin. Separate the layers of napkin so that they are very thin and tear them into small pieces. These will be scraps of flesh left behind from your artificial wound. Glue them onto your face using eyelash glue, arranging them a little chaotically so that they overlap each other and puff up.
On the side, so that the transition to the skin is not visible, apply makeup and foundation, and then paint on top with blush and shadows. Use makeup to splatter blood near the wound. When the structure dries, it will look very scary. If you want to smear blood on your scars, it is best to choose store-bought fake blood for this.
Ketchup doesn't dry well and runs a lot; red paint, if it is not makeup, looks pale and unnatural. You can boil a thick syrup tinted with food coloring and apply it (but do not forget to make it more of a burgundy color); it, however, although it looks good, will be felt on the skin and tighten it, especially in the first hours.
Do not use real blood for makeup! You may see advice to take regular beef or liver and use them. Firstly, no matter how funny it may be, real blood is completely different from what we are used to in films and games, and this is precisely the similarity that all mummers strive for on Halloween. Secondly, unprocessed meat or parts of it that come into contact with the skin can have an extremely bad effect both on it and on health in general, especially if there are small scratches on the skin that we usually do not notice.
Halloween celebrations are becoming increasingly popular. The widespread image of a zombie is complemented by artificial scars and wounds, which are created using special makeup. But even without the addition of a suit and other attributes, they will look intimidating. Professional makeup artists can make scars look very realistic, but if you want to make them yourself, you can purchase a special kit that includes everything you need to create a scar. But if you can’t find a kit, you don’t need to give up this idea - scars can be made with simple cosmetic products.

How to make artificial leather
A cut involves breaking the skin, so the first step is to create artificial skin to make the scar look more realistic.
So, below you will find ways to make up scars for Halloween at home:
- You can take the easiest path - make “decorative” leather made of plasticine to suit your skin tone. The disadvantage of this method is its fragility. Roll a “sausage” with the required parameters and attach it to the skin. To make it last longer, secure it to double-sided tape with glue. To make a cut, cut the plasticine. Paint and cover the resulting blank clear varnish for nails so that the plasticine blank remains voluminous.
- Using eyelash glue. This is a simple option; it is used to create small cuts and burns. Apply glue to the area of skin where you plan to make a scar. If bubbles appear during the process, don't worry, this will make the cut even more terrifying. Then wait for the glue to dry. A hairdryer will help speed up the process, just use cold air for drying so that the glue does not spread.

You can stick napkins directly onto the skin, but then it will be more difficult to remove the makeup. It is more practical to use double-sided tape. Cut out a blank from tape that will bigger size than a scar/cut. Place napkins soaked in glue on the tape in several layers. The more layers you make, the more voluminous the cut will look. Using a knife or toothpick, cut through the layers to make a cut. A toothpick will make the edges ragged. Next, paint the cut with paints and place it on the skin.
