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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
