We improved our materials, we studied anatomy, we improved our technique... And it shows!
This is our second practice and the difference with our first attempt at special effects makeup is immense.
Here's our previous try:
[ESP/ENG] The very first special effects makeup / El primer maquillaje de efectos especiales
We saw many more tutorials to learn and improve application techniques, we improved the recipe of materials, the flesh this time was not so dry and the blood looks much more real.
Mejoramos nuestros materiales, estudiamos anatomía, mejoramos nuestra técnica... ¡Y si que se nota!
Esta es nuestra segunda práctica y la diferencia con nuestro primer intento de maquillaje de efectos especiales es inmensa.
Este es nuestro intento anterior:
[ESP/ENG] The very first special effects makeup / El primer maquillaje de efectos especiales
Vimos muchos más tutoriales para aprender y mejorar técnicas de aplicado, mejoramos la receta de materiales, la carne esta vez no quedó tan seca y la sangre quedó mucho más real.
At first, we thought of doing something simple, just a cut on the tip of the finger and the nail, but that quickly escalated to start improvising other things, like a cut at the base of the thumb showing what would be the tendon.
We made the tendon with a piece of string stiffened with glue and painted white, the fake flesh we made with our improved homemade recipe of wheat flour, salt, water, and glue, which we colored with regular facial makeup.
Al principio pensamos en hacer algo sencillo, solo un corte en la punta del dedo y la uña, pero eso escaló rápido a empezar a improviser otras cosas, como un corte en la base del pulgar mostrando lo que sería el tendon.
El tendón lo hicimos con un trozo de cordel endurecido con pegamento escolar y pintado de color blanco, la carne falsa la hicimos con nuestra receta casera mejorada de harina de trigo sal, agua y pegamento escolar, a la cual luego le dimos color con maquillaje de rostro regular.
Then, we included some red threads with glue to simulate veins, we added more color to the internal part of the wound, and also, to the external part, in the thumb area, we gave it a necrotic aspect as if the blood circulation was compromised by the wound.
Después, incluimos algunos hilos de color rojo con pegamento para simular venas, además añadimos más color a la parte interna d ela herida, y además, a la parte externa, en la zona del pulgar, le dimos un aspecto un poco necrótico cómo si la circulación sanguinea del mismo estuviese comprometida por la herida.
Here below the photos were taken with the flash on and you can see much better the small details of the wound, materials, and colors applied.
Acá abajo las fotos las hicimos con el flash encendido y see pueden ver muchísimo mejor los pequeños detalles de la herida, materiales y colores aplicados.
The materials that we included to emulate other parts of the human anatomy such as the thread and the cord came up immediately and we searched things like crazy to see what we could use to achieve them, improvising as we thought it could look more real and according to what we were studying about real anatomy.
Los materials que incluimos para emular otras partes de la anatomía humana como el hilo y el cordón surgieron al momento y buscamos como locos en casa con qué podiamos lograrlos, ibamos improvisando según see nos ocurría que podía verse más real y según lo que ibamos estudiando sobre anatomía real.
The final touch is definitely the fake blood, which we made with maple syrup, red and black dessert coloring, and a little bit of water for a more fluid blood look, for a somewhat clotted blood the water is not necessary.
It seems to us that the blood hides a little bit the details that we worked so hard for, but without a doubt, it is the cherry on the cake to give it that grotesque and realistic look that we are looking for.
El toque final es definitivamente la sangre falsa, que hicimos con jarabe de maple, colorantes para postres color rojo y negro, y un poco de agua para un aspecto de sangre más fluida, para sangre algo cuagulada el agua no es necesaria.
Nos parece que la sangre esconde un poco los detalles por los que tanto nos esforzamos pero sin duda es la cereza del pastel para darle ese aspecto grotesco y realista que tanto se busca.
We have been using ordinary face applicators and makeup like anyone would have. In fact, we have been discarding and making much more use of makeup that we consider being of "dubious quality and origin", as well as any other that is not free of animal cruelty.
Hemos estado usando aplicadores y maquillaje de rostro común como el que tendría cualquier persona tendría. De hecho hemos estado desechando y dandole mucho mayor uso a el maquillaje que consideramos es de "dudosa calidad y origen", al igual que cualquier otro que no sea libre de crueldad animal.
Clearly, this one came out better than our previous one, being this one the second try on special effects makeup we are really happy and excited about everything we can learn, practice, and do.

Holy smokes that looks so real and so effective.
Thank you!!! Hyperrealism is what we're trying to achieve, We'll get there with proper not-homemade materials but our skills are not ready for the investment 😅
