I know that this is a bit extreme for a FOTD.
However, I am moping and am riddled with lot of self-doubt so I have been distracting myself with a special effects kick recently.
I lost out on a job that I am more than qualified for and it was a company that I have always wanted to work for- I didn't even make it through to the second round of interviews.
As I don't really want to be stuck in retail my whole life, I am seriously thinking about working in Special Effects.
Anyone from the UK studied special effects?
Can you give me advice on the likelihood of actually progression into employment, if I were to take up something like this?
What I used:
-MUA Dark brown eyeshadow, for dark circles
-Tissue
-Mehron Liquid Latex
-PVA Glue
-False nails
-MUA Red lipstick
-Red pigment (made by me)
-Ebay Gel Liner
-Mehron Fake blood.
-GOSH Xceptional wear foundation
-Hartleys Jelly (for the rest of the blood)
I had to use PVA glue in the end, as I am seriously running low on liquid latex!
Also, I wish that I didn't use false nails for the teeth, as it looks a bit crappy :/
