How to find good reference images:
Learn the medical name for things which will help you to find clearer, better reference images instead of other people's makeup. So using 'laceration' instead of cut, 'ballistic trauma' instead of bullet hole, etc. I will often google image search but that can come up with -horrible- results so be careful, start out small.
I also follow accounts that show good reference images and the discussion behind what happened, so people like mrs_angemi or medicaltalks on instagram, or makeup fx reference image groups on Facebook. I also like going on the Figure 1. app (like instagram for medical professionals) and you can search by body part or key words to find stuff on there too.
Freakmo
...Or you could visit 4chan or Reddit 😨
Seriously though? Figure1 is an AMAZING app for /ethical/ Doctor submitted quality reference photos. It's basically Instagram for medical professionals.
Hhahaa yeah the bottled face one I got from reddit! Then /r/WTF stopped allowing gore, boo!
Freakmo I knooow! I stopped browsing Reddiit for a few months and when I came back r/WTF had disallowed it :P
Freakmo awesome! Thanks for this. I need to practice more!
Disarticulated is another good one.
When people don't blend edges it makes me want to cry
Hhahaa it's a very small thing which makes a big difference, I think a lot of people just don't know how to, or try to rush through it.
Freakmo I know, and I used to think it was no big deal but now I do. I've noticed how much of a difference it is and I want to hit my past self. Personally I think I did good for a 9 year old but still, I wanna cry from what I used to do.
Same 😒
lil buggy aka people on tiktok
I made it 1K and it made my day
I know that it’s fake but watching you scratch off the “bad” cut literally made my skin crawl
Sameeeeeeee! For some reason I can only handle horror makeup when I do it myself otherwise I feel really squeamish
Mider Ider no man you’re not being a douche you’re being relevant and intelligent
@@october2842 how's that intelligent 🤔
My face wrinkled and I scrunched down into my bed
AHHHH SAME
ME: TEACHER I HURt MY HAND
TEACHER: stop joking let me se-
TEACHER: O.O
lol
QUICK GET THE ICE PACKS
Teacher:it fine now go back to your sit and not bleed anywhere or you going to detention
@@kyungsooisanadorableegg8042 Okay, here is the Ice pack you should be good now. Go back to class. :)
Me: ...wtf.
omg i thought it was real until i saw the things they put in
6:24 SFX make up artists version of "lipstick" swatches.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I've been looking for a video like this for so long! There are tons of tutorials showing how to do things the right way, but no one talks about common mistakes and how to go about fixing them.
Yay! Yeah there's a lot for beauty makeup but I couldn't' find any for FX makeup. I'm glad it helps :D
Amanda Rose I second this. Pure awesome from someone else who is just trying to be better today, than they were yesterday.
who else saw the middle finger in the beginning 😂
Me
Jackie Delavega yeah I did but why did she do it
Jackie Delavega yeah me too HAHAHAHA😂
Jackie Delavega me
Haha me Lol
Am I the only person who gets glittery dark purple bruises??
Nopr
probably......
Do you mean when you are making them? If so maybe the pallets you use are shimmery
😂
Ahah guys it’s a joke, from when she was talking about the colours of bruises
Another couple of tips:
1. Get yourself a good mattifying creme, then if your wax/latex/silicone/gelatine/whatever looks too shiny you can mattify it to match your skin so it doesn't stand out as being fake or different from your surrounding skin.
2. Avoid spirit gum if you can, that stuff is evil. My favourite adhesive is prosaide, I don't think it's any more expensive than spirit gum.
3. Also another beginner mistake - thinking it will work the first time you try it. Most of my first attempts aren't great or what I want. With this kind of makeup you usually need to practice, don't expect to be an expert the first time you try, and don't be discouraged by failures - it's how you learn!
4. yes there are two number sevens in the video my bad.
Yeah I use prosaide for my bald caps, and then prosaide cream (so a bit thicker) for around the edges if they're not blending out nicely / there's a visible edge)
Freakmo can you explain why you wouldn't recommend spirit gum?
As an adhesive it doesn't have the best... adhesion, and it has a strong and unpleasant smell. But the main reason I dislike it is because of the ether in it. It's quite common to feel like it's burning when it goes onto the skin, and if the ether hasn't fully evaporated before adhering something on top, the ether can get trapped and cause chemical burns on people's skin. So kinda unpleasant ingredients that make a lot of people's skin react to it. Prosaide is great, it's acrylic/water based and really gentle.
glad you tell us before I uninformedly just buy it. Really want to learn fx makeup but the stuff are quite expensive and information is limited too :/ I guess I just have to know where to look
Freakmo I was actually pretty good on my first try
I'm seeing this in 2019 and thank goodness I can finally correct my many mistakes
lol, me too
Ugh those instagram makeup artists drive me crazy! They use liquid latex and tissue paper to create wounds, and then the finished look is soo anatomically incorrect and mishapen that they end up dousing it in fake blood to make it look even remotely real! This video must be seen by everyone! Youre our only hope freakmo !
Witte Artistry when it comes to blood, a lot of times less is more. Like I never could understand why some people spend forever trying to make a realistic wound, and adding a ton of detail just to ruin all of that work by drowning it in blood. In the end you have spent hours on a wound just to achieve something you could have done in a few minutes. Major pet peeve of mine, lol.
Yeah. I always say, do what you like, learn from it all, just know what is realistic and what is not. We call it the "M.O.I." (Mechanism of injury(or illness)) how it happened.
Jaime F sfx makeup is expensive, they're making do with what they have, and bashing other artists is really shitty
Carly Gaffney oh, who's bashing? I'm just saying they could learn a thing or two from this video 😏
Jaime F supposedly saying someone's work is anatomically incorrect means you're bashing them 😒
DID SHE JUST SWATCH THOSE DIFFERENT BLOOODS LIKE IT WAS A BLOODY KYLIE LIP KIT😂😂😂 YAAASSS! #LEGEND omg I'm living
Fifth Element tattoo 👍
Hehe! Thanks :D
moxiemason you just have all the best reference tattoos. Terry Pratchett AND Fifth Element 😱😍
Chelsea Owen haha i was looking for a comment like this because I wasn't sure. It looks awesome
I've been a subscriber from the very beginning. It really is such a wonderful thing to see how much you've grown as an artist! Tbh I don't think I'll ever try to do sfx makeup myself, but seeing a new video of yours always excites me. Your work is always amazing!
Would you ever consider coming to NY and doing a class? I love your work and the fact that you come on CZcams to not only show us tutorials but to teach us how to properly do FX makeup is amazing. You're such an inspiration!
Gosh I wish! Sometimes Proren do the most amazing professional fx classes in NY, follow them on social media and ask if they'll teach again!
Freakmo Thank you! I do hope you can make it to NY in the future 😊
Man, you are soooo on point. Like literally!! Thank you for pointing out the mistakes that even "experienced" make up artists do.
Really helpful information
This is SO HELPFUL.
I think i still make those mistakes everyday, because i didn't know how to rectify them.
Thank you so much for this.

Me, being someone who gets grossed out by blood and wounds: Gets the chills and has to look away at some parts
I guess it won't help when I tell you the first "bad" wound looks like when you're on your period...
@@Gloomyraindrop wait what? XD
Same
Why did u click then?
@@jlppxx353 hm.. Good question.
OMG I was thinking of doing a video about the same things: edges, color matching, too much blood etc. This is wonderful, it's so clear and informative! Well done.
fangirled over this and the fifth element tattoo on your models arm. Im a beginner sfx artist and i love your realism and effort towards the tiniest of details. Keep up the good work !!
I'm glad you liked it :D
This video is so great! I already know all this mistakes but is so cool you make something like this. I especially love the last advice about being original with your own creations :D
I’m not a fx makeup artist but I do draw and create, so you’re points of color matching and not adding too much is important

Great video! Very insightful for every makeup artist. You did a really great job going into detail and using visuals
I learned to do bruising with felt tip pens diluted with alcohol. Really gives you a good idea of the colours! Very good video!!
Love this. My pet peeve is also shitty photos of what looks to be great looking work. Good lighting helps not only good photos but helps with colour matching. On a side note if you wanted to sculpt a butthole arm makeup your example of what not to do would be perfect 😜
I'm glad you saw my butthole symbolism, you really get me. I really hate it when it's a shit makeup but someone has photographed it well -either in over saturated light or dramatic lighting, then photoshopped it to hell, then posted it making their shitty makeup look half good but 75% of it isn't real.
Powdah FX nicht nicht
Powdah FX I wish I could get good lighting at the haunted house I work at for photos but alas, iPhone pictures are all I can do at the moment lol
quick tip regarding beading and mouth bloods, just add a touch of toothpaste instead of soap. will do the job just as well but will be mouth safe.
I loved this video! I just got my first skin illustrator palettes and I've been practicing color matching. I would love to see a video from you explaining how to color match with the light flesh tones palette.. maybe even cream makeups. And what will work on what builds like latex, silicone, gelatin and wax. Thank you for all of your educational videos. I watch every single one.
You explain things perfectly and your videos are a great source for information. I just googled, hand lacerations, instead of, hand cuts, and damn, what a difference. Hand cuts were just giving me sfx. These images for, lacerations though, wow, just wow. Keep up the good work.
one of your greatest and most useful videos! congratulations!
Sorry I keep coming back lol, but I seriously just went back through my old videos and saw mistakes so this was very helpful. Thank you!
Fantastic video as usual! We need more people like you on CZcams! Also loving the Fifth Element tattoo!
Thank you for making this! It's always good to go back to basics and review what looks real or fake! Very useful info here!
I'm a traditional artist, I don't work with makeup at all. I feel like a stranger here. xD Great vid! 😂💕
I'm not an artist at all x)
Same lol
Pro tip: if there's a warning label, read and listen to it..
This was such a helpful video - thanks! I'm a beginner at this and I'm just delving into the actual makeup part, and these are some really solid tips. Also, it's nice to hear it's supposed to be difficult and took you about a year to get good :)
This is so interesting and helpful! Thanks for going into so much detail. Awesome video! 💓
Doing my sfx assessments at school so thank you for this video!
Just about to produce a lovely gore fest with my group, excited but pretty nervous as well!
Hannah Williams goodluck!!! 👍
Oh my gosh, THANK YOU for the tip about the fake blood beading up!! Every time I use blood on wax, I have to move it around every couple seconds to get a good picture of it!! SO annoying!
I plan on going into sfx makeup for theater or movies in the future, in my luck i have a family friend who already does it for a living. So im thankful to have someone to help me get started. And having extra tips from you was a huge help!
Wooooh this is so cool! I studied sfx/makeup etc about 20 years ago, but didn't do much sfx until just recently and your channel is a big help!
This was cool. Stuff I never thought about! (Although to be fair, I've never done SFX makeup haha so I guess I wouldn't be thinking of it anyway)
As a professional fx makeup artist, THANK YOU for making this video!!! YOU have voiced what the rest of us have been saying for a while! I'm totally sharing this all over my social media! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
This is an incredible video!! You are so knowledgeable and informative 👍🏼
Thank you for making this! So helpful! Love all your content and creations! ❤
Thank you!
I should be asleep because it's like 3am here! But I saw a Freakmo notification and couldn't resist 😂!
This video is awesome and SO true! It drives me nuts when people build an inch of wax off of their skin! Haha XD
What a cool trick mixing dish soap with the blood!
Oh man it kills me when people put watered down acrylic paint on their skin!! 😣
Great video!! Keep up the great work :)
Witte Artistry and it's hard to sculpt an injury and think ahead to how and where it's going to be applied and then, how big you can go before it looks like a mini mask.
Agreed. Realism definitely takes a lot of time, skill, and forethought.
And screwing up! Lol. It's all part of the journey.
Yup! The best lessons are learned through trial and error! :)
Witte Artistry o9
Me: *is a squeamish person*
Also me: yes i should watch this video
FINALY , someone who tells the mistakes that we
make , and i'm glad that's you THANXX
I love your honesty
you're always so respectful wowie :")
Very nice, high quality video. Thank you so much for number 10. Too many people are doing dumb shit and the irony is that doing a makeup with an aluminum can or scissors sticking out of your face is grounds for getting the real injury.
Harry Fahringer this kinda think make the "medic" and "cranky dad" come out. I try to shut up, but it's hard. Lol
Thank-you for sharing, very professional, and informative.
Great in depth video! Thank you for making this!
+Freakmo dish soap works good but...If you want to keep it mouth safe a good tip is use soap you use in your mouth daily. Toothpaste. I find it does the same thing & the cheapest one work the best.
Yeah I've never tried adding that actually but I heard Rob Smith's interview on Battle with Bits of Rubber and he said that's a common additive to bloods, which is why some of them taste minty (I'm looking at you, Mouldlife)
HorrorBeautyFX you arent supposed to swallow tooth paste either.
Thank you for saying so much of this! I'm a sfx artist and I lead a large team of people for a haunted attraction and I find myself saying so much of this over and over again. Just because you saw someone else do it on youtube doesn't mean it's safe!
Thank you for making this vid, I am new to this so every advice is much appreciated 😊 Also, just a lil thing I noticed - I love the fifth element inspired tattoo!
omg just found this video and your channel. BEST INFO EVER! subbed and became an instant fan xox
Although my videos aren't bloody and gory I am proud of not being an offender of number 11. I'm still very happy my makeup videos are original. That's why I don't post so much. I don't want to do what everyone else is doing or done. Another reason I'm a fan of your channel. You're always creating something new. Thank you!!
Who just paused the video and just stared at the fake wound and then closed the video??
Just me, ok! TvT
This video was insanely helpful! Thanks freakmo!
as somebody who wants to do some minor fx makeup for upcoming Halloween, this was more informative than the "tutorial" videos that just basically shows speed progression of how the artist did their make up and just listed the materials they used in the descriptions. you, on the other hand, made sure to list do's and don'ts as well as list a margin of safety when it comes to beginner fx work. so thank you! :>
i would puke if i looked at real reference images 😅
Look at anatomy references, surgery videos(ed heads, CZcams, etc. not too nasty as it’s a clean scientific environment) or videos made by trauma doctors (explaining healing process/body’s response to traumatic injuries, anatomy, and likely be less disturbing than say a picture of a body or critically injured person in a car accident, or a murder scene.)
You can also just research the skin, especially if it pertains to yourself or your model.
I would love to learn more about color matching and other ways to add more color into wounds.
Yes I'll need to film a colour matching tutorial, just gotta find some diverse skin tones that will let me put makeup on them
thank you, i love your videos and this one was definitely helpful.
I have been a makeup artists for over 40 years and this is great advice and a great selection of books you are showing. I wish that I'd had them when I started. All I had was Dick Smith's Do It Yourself Monster Makeups book.
thank you so much for this video. i'm sad to say that yes i have made a few of these mistakes. i am teaching myself and just assumed that following the bigger makeup channels was the best way to learn. i have recently started to do my own research. with that and being busy with college my makeup practice has gone on the back burner but thanks to this video i am going to try and do better makeup from reference pictures of real wounds. heres hoping i don't get too squeamish lol. a look i need to do soon for my film college course is black tears so i am hoping i can find some good reference material. also can you recommend a good thing to use for black tears? as i don't want to use anything bad next to mine or anyone else's eyes.
I've done most of them too, don't worry :)
Kryolan has black eye blood that is eye safe, but it does come out slightly blue when it rolls down the cheek
Hi I'm not sure if you will see this but would you be interested in making and organisation video to show how you organise fx products and tools. I think it would be really helpful :)
I'm an aspiring FX makeup artist, this video was AMAZING and VERY helpful. Thank you and yes you have a new subscriber 👍
Thank you sooo much I’ve probably watched this 4 times and it helps me so much!!!
Nice 5th Element tattoo on your model.
Cheers ;)
I loved that blood swatches
Jax Son other people swatch eyeshadows and lip sticks but no I want to see blood swatches XD
fifth element tattoo!! i love it!!
I love the elements tat, and awesome video!
never done this in my life or plan on it what am i doimg here
Even as just a self-taught horror artist, all those mistakes make me cringe so hard... I recognize many of them from my own community, for some reason people put a ton of gore over realism when it comes to creating disturbing imagery.
I just started doing fx last month and this was so helpful😁
Hi Kiana. I am studying my diploma in creative make up for screen and media . I'm a perth girl too! Just wanted to thank you for this vid. Keep up the good work ☺
0:03 😂😂😂
🖕🏿🖕🏾🖕🏽🖕🏼🖕🏻
How do you stop your wax from drying out and crumbling away?
Hahaha it pretty much was the entire time I was filming this video and I had to keep smoothing out the surface. I really dislike wax.
I love the tatoo on whoever's arm your working on!
This is such an awesome video! Thanks for making this!
The middle finger at the start 😂😂
0:59 HOLD UP!! is that a 5th Element tattoo?!???!?!! RESPECT
Adrianna Jurek I totally did this too. Second guessed myself as too much of a fanboy. Lol.
Love this advice! There's one thing I disagree with though, and that's the part of not just following tutorial videos, but trying to design something yourself. While it's definitely true that you need to let go of copying and start designing on your own if you want to get really good, just following tutorials is the best way to learn how anatomy, materials, and designs work, especially if you're an absolute beginner.
Obviously don't go posting other people's designs all over social media without their approval and properly crediting them, but also don't be ashamed of being in the learning stage where you still have to be guided through the process step by step by someone who's more experienced. And that goes for pretty much everything you're trying to learn. I think people who are experienced at something tend to forget that while it's not acceptable to do if you're a (semi)professional, the imitation stage is as important to learning as knowing how to observe and eventually transitioning into designing it all by yourself.
I love these videos keep uploading them even tho it's not Halloween
For the next Halloween season, I want to start simple, maybe a cut or slight tear in the skin, perhaps a scar. I want to try & achieve that "infected" look with just basic shadows. Eventually I can do bigger & deeper, more complicated wounds in the future but now I want to stick to super basic looks.
this scared me cuz it looks sooo real!!!!!! LMAOOOOOOOO
I didn't know I was doing so much wrong... This video has helped me a lot! Thank you :)
I’ve done at least two mistakes from this video this helped so much thank you!
6:36 blood. blood. Gallons of the stuff.
Alistair!! I didn't know you knew eachother😮😆
Yesss! He lives just down the road from me, so we like doing FX stuff when we get time. Sometimes I guest lecture in his class too :)
Kiana and I are biffles
That's awesome!
Can I come re-do my certs Alistair? 😂
You did your diploma! :P
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! IT was so helpful😍♥️
This is simply amazing!
Yes! I hate when someone copies a makeup without give the credit to the original artist!
Who the heck just flipped me off at the start of the video?
Learn something new everyday! Though to me the best thing about this was the fifth element tattoo!!
This video is the best so far, also who else did most of the mistakes she talked about 😆 but this will totally help me improve!
2019 ? :v
Why go through all this work when you can just get hurt yourself?
Dank Memes News Channel you want to get a real cut?
if i were you i just pick the fake one rather than the real one.

Love the fifth element tattoo!!
I love your fith element tattoo!
