Method- (This applies to the whole face but not the wound)
1. Prep the skin.
2. Apply a matching shade of foundation, focusing on the centre of the face using a foundation brush.
3. With a buffing brush, buff out the foundation to blend into the edges of the face. This gives a more natural finish.
4. Conceal any under eye areas or blemishes with the camouflage palette.
5. Apply Kryolan Translucent Powder over the face.
6. With the Sculpting Duo Palette, apply a small amount of darker powder just underneath the cheekbones, using an angled contour brush.
7. Apply the highlighter with a highlighter brush to the higher points on the face, the jaw line, the cheekbone, the chin, nose, cupid's bow and forehead.
8. Using the reflections palette, and a small shadow brush, apply the creamy base to the whole lid. This will make the shadow stick and appear more pigmented.
9. Apply the brown from the neutral palette to the outer corner of the eye, and around the socket. This will make the client's eyes stand out more. Deepen this with the black shadow.
10. Fill in the brows with the brown from the neutral palette, and brush into shape. Finish with a highlight under the brow on the bone.
11. Apply the desired lip colour to the lips, using a small flat brush. Working your way from the corners of the mouth and up to the cupids bow creates a cleaner line.

I am pleased with the makeup completed for around the wound. I was conscious of not making the makeup too dark, as I believe the victim of an acid burn would not like to venture out of her comfort zone for a while, and not use a drastic look. I feel this works well with the wound, and makes the wound a little more shocking as she turns and reveals it on the other side.
