Fever, Sweat & Tears

Health & safety:
- When applying the supra colour, if you add isopropyl alcohol to it, be careful not to go near the eye area.
- When using eye drops, make sure that you get the individual eye drop sachets as these can be thrown away after one use to avoid cross contamination as the eye area is extremely delicate and sensitive.
- When using glycerin make sure to not go near the eye area either.

Fever,Sweat and Tears

This technical was the easiest that we have done so far in terms of the products used and how you apply them. 

Fever:

• Redness around the eyes,nose,cheeks, tops of the ears etc.
• Sometimes dry skin
• Sweating on the upper lip and around the hair line.
• Could apply water to the hair to create greasy hair from sweat.

Sweat:

• Apply Glycerin using a stipple sponge to areas where you can sweat if you have a fever (upper lip, above the brow, around the hair line)
• Glycerin can be bought in boots or any type of drugstore.

Tears:

• Individual eye drops can be purchased in boots.
• Be careful of contamination as the eye is a very sensitive area.

Products used:

• Red supra colour for the redness on the face
• glycerin for sweat, dab on with a stipple sponge 
• Tears, individual eye drops. When using the eye drops make sure that you use the individual sticks of solution as if you use a container of eye drops that can be reused it is very easy to cross contaminate the product and therefore cause infections within the eye, this area in very sensitive.

Reflecting:

This technical was easy to complete, however applying the products so that it looked natural on the skin was difficult. It was hard to not place the red supra colour on the cheek where you would apply blush, this was my natural instinct to do this, so next time i have to make sure that i apply it in a shape that doesn’t mimic blush.

This is the technique that i am going to be using in my final continuity assessment as i want my character to look like he ill. He lost the person that he was so in love with and that made him become ill and weak. I want to recreate the ‘ill look’ by applying the red around the eyes nose and the perimeters of the face and also create bags underneath the eyes to look like tiredness. 

In my practices before the final assessment i’m going to make sure that i work out where i want to apply the red so that when it comes to the continuity assessment i can get the exact same look with the red in the exact same places. I also need to practice where i am placing the red so that it doesn’t look like makeup and looks like a natural flare up on the skin.
