Anthrolopological re-design one

My first design for the revised shoot for body modification is based around the idea that scarification in African cultures is the branch into manhood. Therefore, I am using materials to create branches up the face to create a second skin. This will alter the profile of the face. The colours are neutral to make it seem that the branches are part of the face and belong there. The branches are created using cotton pads broken up to get the fibres inside. The fibres are then stuck on using latex and covered in tuplast to smooth the fibres over. Foundation is then added to the cotton to make it skin colour. The branches are then highlighted on one side to make sure they look 3D.

 For this the materials you need are:

-Cotton pads

- Tuplast

- Latex

- Dermashield

- Kryolan Ultra Foundation 

- Kryolan Dermacolour camoflague concealer

- Illamasqua matte primer

- Illamasqua Translucent Powder 

- Kryolan Supracolour Palette.

- Pritt stick

Cleanse, tone and moisturise the skin. 

Apply Dermashield to protect the skin from the latex and tuplast.

Apply the base, foundation, concealer if needed and then seal with translucent powder.

Take the eyebrows out using pritt stick. Brush the hairs upwards so that they stick down flat to the skin. Once the glue has dried you can cover the hairs with foundation to blend into the skin. 

Take the cotton pads and pull apart to reveal the fibres inside. Roll the fibres into a thin sausage shape.

Apply latex to the skin, and place the cotton fibres over the top.

Dry with a cool hairdryer and continue.

Once you have created the branch shape, cover the fibres in tuplast to create a smooth effect. 

Dry with a cool hairdryer.

Use the same foundation used to create the base over the tuplast cotton. Blend this in until it looks compatible with the natural skin tone. 

Powder over the top of the foundation to seal. 

Use Kryolan Supracolour in lightest red to highlight around the cotton. The aim here is to make the cotton look more 3D. 

The mood board above shows the idea behind the design above. The scars look like the lines created by branches. Therefore I have based my idea on nature. I also thought that the scarification methods used lead the young boy into manhood, like the branches of a tree lead into ever changing life.
