Materials: red, yellow, and black paint, liquid latex, tweezers, red or clear lip gloss, syringe and petroleum jelly (optional)

Step 1:

Dab a splotchy layer of red where you want the burn.


Step 2:

Layer an uneven layer of latex. I find it's easiest to do this if you have a harder uneven surface. The sponge I'm using has layers of dried latex and cotton buildup from previous makeups. You could also use a sponge that's cut into uneven layers and dabbing the latex on instead of painting or brushing it on. Repeat this step 2-3 times. Wait for the latex to dry completely before adding another layer.

After applying first layer:


After two layers:


After three layers:


Step 3:

Gently scratch at the latex creating holes with the tweezers. Peel the holes in all different directions.

Step 4:

This step is optional. If you have a syringe, fill it with petroleum jelly and make "blisters" and seal the holes with liquid latex. I don't have access to a syringe so I cannot show you this step.

Step 5:

Paint around the holes of missing skin and some random spots with black. This mimics charred skin.


Step 6:

Paint the inside of the holes with yellow, red and some black. Then apply the lip gloss.


Step 7:

Dab a mixture of red and black around the whole burn blending some of it together. I found it was easier to use a pain brush as opposed to a sponge. You can add as much or as little red as you want.


Side note: If you want to create a burn scar then simply stop after applying the layers of latex. The red undertone is optional if you want a fully healed scar. Mess around with it and experiment with different techniques. If you don't like how it looks simply peel it off and restart.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.
