Burn Wounds:
For a burn wound you would start by having a clean face so the latex can properly stick to your skin. Latex can catch baby hairs so Vaseline and a wig cap can be helpful. You start with a very thin layer of latex on the portion of your body you would like burned. Then when it has dried you take the exacto knife and very carefully cut that small layer of latex and pull it to create small holes. To give a blister look, however don’t go too deep if you feel any pain stop immediately. You would then cover your face in a foundation similar to your own skin color then in another layer of latex, fake blood cannot stick to most foundations because it has an oily base, which is why the next layer is necessary.

Vision is slightly impaired, not recommended for Halloween makeup. Repeat the paper towel process, to where your whole face is covered. Then cover the face in a small layer of foundation. Followed by brown and black eye shadow shadows, around the eyes, around leftover visible skin on head. Add fake blood around eyes, in cracks and you’re set, make the skin look like burlap as much as you can. The paper towel texture should help with this.
Beast Attack:

Once done with that attach the slashes and put a lot of blood, the more blood the drippier and painful it looks. Glue to face using latex and apply more blood.
Gashes:
Gashes normally are easier to pre make, by using a counter that latex wont stick to and working off there as if it was skin.

Peeling Skin:
Peeling skin is another simple one, you just apply one or two layers of latex wait for it to dry then begin to peel It but only go half way, then start by applying your foundation on the outside of the latex to make it look like your skin. On the inside make it bright red with blood and push it down so it comes out the side. There you have your peeling skin.
Bruising:
Bruising is probably the easiest special effect to do, you need water based face paints. Red, blue, yellow and green. Start with yellow in the center layer red and blue to make a purple yellow bruise and some black on the sides and green in the center. Start in center and blend
