How to creat a burn makeup.

Materials: red, yellow, and black paint, liquid latex, tweezers, red or clear lip gloss, syringe and petroleum jelly (optional)

Step 1:

Dab a splotchy layer of red where you want the burn.


Step 2:

Layer an uneven layer of latex. I find it's easiest to do this if you have a harder uneven surface. The sponge I'm using has layers of dried latex and cotton buildup from previous makeups. You could also use a sponge that's cut into uneven layers and dabbing the latex on instead of painting or brushing it on. Repeat this step 2-3 times. Wait for the latex to dry completely before adding another layer.

After applying first layer:


After two layers:


After three layers:


Step 3:

Gently scratch at the latex creating holes with the tweezers. Peel the holes in all different directions.

Step 4:

This step is optional. If you have a syringe, fill it with petroleum jelly and make "blisters" and seal the holes with liquid latex. I don't have access to a syringe so I cannot show you this step.

Step 5:

Paint around the holes of missing skin and some random spots with black. This mimics charred skin.


Step 6:

Paint the inside of the holes with yellow, red and some black. Then apply the lip gloss.


Step 7:

Dab a mixture of red and black around the whole burn blending some of it together. I found it was easier to use a pain brush as opposed to a sponge. You can add as much or as little red as you want.


Side note:If you want to create a burn scar then simply stop after applying the layers of latex. The red undertone is optional if you want a fully healed scar. Mess around with it and experiment with different techniques. If you don't like how it looks simply peel it off and restart.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
