Materials: scar putty, cling wrap, red, black, blue, green, and yellow cream paint, paint brush, fake blood, sponges

Step 1:

Apply spirit gum in the area that the wax will be in and tap until it's sticky. Dab cotton so it leaves some behind as something the wax will hold onto.


Step 2:

Put a good layer of scar wax on top of the area of cotton. Smooth out the edges so it blends with the skin. You don't want the layer to be so thick that there's a bulge, but you don't want it so thin that you couldn't see the bite. It doesn't have to be completely smooth either as your bite will change the thickness and hide any thinner/thicker parts. Experiment with it and see what works for you. The great thing about scar wax is that you can always adjust it to do what you need it to.

Step 3:

Place cling wrap on top of the wax. Ensure that its tight and doesn't have wrinkles because they will show up. Loosely bite down or have someone bite down (depending on the placement) and slowly peel the cling wrap off starting at one end towards the other.




Step 4:

OPTIONAL: Match the wax to your skin tone using foundation. Some online websites do offer different shades of scar wax if you have lighter or darker skin tones.

Step 5:

Paint bruises on the outer edges using sponges. Refer to my tutorial on cuts and bruises if you need help.


Step 6:

Paint black on the base of the teeth indents. Paint red over the black and in the rest of the indent.


Step 7:

Paint light pink around the indents to simulate irritated skin.


Step 8:

Cover in blood. Put blood in the indents and add extra to run out. Splatter blood on and around the wound. You can never use too much blood.


Side note:If you want to make it look infected like a zombie bite paint light purple and green veins. Also use more green and yellow on the outer edges of the bruises.

To remove the wax, I usually just gently scrape it off with an old gift card or a wooden clay tool. Spirit gum remover also helps both the excess wax and the spirit gum to come off.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
