I'm in school learning special effects makeup, and just thought I'd post some of the stuff I did for class in my first semester.
One of the first things we did was bruises and black eyes (I used Ben Nye's bruise wheel for these):


We also had some fun using food to do makeup effects - this lovely number was made with ramen noodles, latex, toilet paper, and.. personal lubricant XD:

One of my favorite things in that class was using cabo-bondo (a mixture of Cab-o-sil which is basically silica powder, and Pros-Aid adhesive). It's a bitch to get off, but it was really fun and easy to use. These scratches were sculpted on the models with the cabo-bondo, then painted with alcohol activated makeup:

I really should have photographed them dripping blood, but oh well.

False nose made of mortician's wax:

Gelatin bullet wound:

Transfer appliance (made with thickened Pros-Aid poured into a silicone mold):

(I didn't sculpt this appliance, btw; I cast it, applied it, and did the makeup.)
Infected girl - more ramen noodles and latex:

Thanks for looking! Comments and crits always welcome.
