Scoop out some of the Mehron Modelling Wax using a spatula or your fingers.

Roll the wax and stick it to the cheekbone (or wherever else you would like to create the cut). To make the Modelling Wax easier to manipulate, apply clear lip balm to your fingers.

Using either a spatula or your fingers, blend the edges of the Modelling Wax into the skin, creating a smooth, seamless edge.

Using the spatula or the end of a makeup brush, start to create indentations and cuts into the wax to add detail.

Experiment using different tools (Alice used a toothpick) to create detailing and life-like cuts.

Apply a foundation or concealer over the wax, starting with small amounts and slowly building.

Next, take the Mehron Paradise Makeup AQ 8 Color Palette Basic and mix plenty of water with the red shade. Apply this to the centre of the indentations in the wax, using a fine liner brush.

To create depth, mix the brown shade with the red to create a deeper shade and apply to the deepest points of the wax.

Now it’s time to add some blood. Take some of the Mehron Coagulated Blood Gel and apply to the cuts. The trick here is to remember that less is more – too much blood will make it look less realistic.

Using a wet cotton bud, dab onto the Coagulated Blood and re-apply to the edges of the cut to help make it look more realistic.

Use a tissue to remove excess blood and your look is complete.
