Basic FX with Limited Resources

Glass Shard Cuts

Explanation:

First you need to make your own scar wax and you can find a video to do so at the bottom of this page. Then apply the amount you need to the skin.

Next you need to flatten the edges so they blend in with the skin and make a line in the middle.

Then use a concealer or foundation to make it your skintone

For glass I used a clear broken plastic cup. You can also use a cut up water bottle. For application I used clear eyelash glue so the plastic stayed in place.

Then I took red lipstick on an angled brush to get the base on the plastic pieces.

On a spoon with a lighter I melted Vaseline and red gel food dye to mix it and then waited for it to be the consistency of warm chapstick and put it also at the base of the plastic pieces.

​

Then I melted the Vaseline a little more and  worked it up the plastic towards the tip. 

Finally, I added more food coloring for a darker red appearance and melted the Vaseline to a runny consistency and applied it around the whole wound.
