Slit-throat Secret
Hi lovelies! How's the start of November been treating you so far? So as you can all see I kind of got my throat slit!.............. haha no worries though, it's evidently fake. This is just some make up I did on myself for Halloween! I've always loved dressing up and there's no better time to go cray cray then on Halloween. But anyways, before I go on rambling for my love of Halloween I'll first share with you guys a guide as to how I got 'my throat slit'.
Firstly the stuff that I used to blend or give the slit a more realistic effect was: Flour and Water! Yep it was just that! Simple right? You can use latex or wax as well if you have it or have used it before but if you don't own them, like me then you can go ahead and use flour and water. There's no exact amount as to how much water or flour you should use. Just mix them together until you get this sticky rubber like consistency that you can pull apart. If you have added in too much water, making it batter-y like then just add more flour into it.
For the bloody gruesome effect you need: Red or maroon lipstick. You can use maroon, red or dark purple eye shadow as well. Just make sure that the eye shadow is not glittery. You also need black eye liner or again you can use black eye shadow or paint! haha I used both paint and eye liner. And some black thread or dark coloured thread to make it look stitched up as well as concealer or foundation to blend the flour to the colour of your skin, and some fake liquid blood or gooey blood.
Stick the flour-water mixture to your throat and wait for it to dry up. What you can do is place the mixture around your throat and just peel it in the middle to give it an open throat effect, but I just layered one line of the mixture above my throat and left an inch gap and layered another layer of the mixture below it. Its a lot easier the way I did it. Once its all dried, blend it in with your skin tone using foundation or concealer. Next, take your maroon lipstick or eye shadow and colour in the area where you left a gap. After that blend it in with your red lipstick or eye shadow. Remember to leave the edge of the gap uncoloured as you will have to colour that in with your black eye liner, eye shadow or paint. Once that's all done cut up pieces of your thread and stick them using eye lash glue or any glue that will hold the thread in its place. Lastly, spread on some fake blood and you're good to go! It's so simple, trust me! Oh yeah and one note though, the flour hardens up throughout the day. I hope you found this helpful and enjoy doing it as much as I did.
