Changing the face with wax

Wax us a great way to change the shape of the face and it actually is really easy to use, it's extremely sticky at first but once it's on the skin area and you begin to mould it, it stays on pretty well.

I first used the wax to create these bumps on the temples of Terri-anne's head to almost represent horns. I struggled to get them symmetrical on both sides at first but once I took a step back and looked properly I got it right.



It was also a little difficult to get them completely smooth to make them look more natural and actually a part of her face.
I also added wax in between the eyebrows that I thought resembled something quite tribal, I think they way I painted it also gave it that look. Again, I would have liked it to have a smoother finish which is something I need to work on in the future. Looking back at the photos I could have smoothed the edges of the wax and also coloured them more as you can see the wax coming through.
