Step 7Finishing touch
I also added a little black tooth enamel (you can use Skin Illustrator) to make the tooth looked chipped. Swill some blood around the mouth, and you're good to go.
A makeup like this can be achieved quickly using a material like Sculpt Gel. Because it is very flexible and unaffected by heat or moisture, it should last reasonably well. Maintain the appliance using more Sculpt Gel or a little medical adhesive like Telesis V.
If the Sculpt Gel mixture is outrageously different from your subjects own skin tone, you can add a little silicone pigment to the mix to intrinsically colour the material. This may be especially worth doing if you have a lot of makeups to do in this fashion on the same person. Silicone pigments will be stocked by sculpture and FX material suppliers-get the smallest amount you can as it is incredibly concentrated and a little goes a long way.
Sculptgel is also useful for repairing and patching silicone gel filled appliance makeups, as well as creating direct-applied effects. I always keep some in my kit.
Happy sticking

Thank you for that Instructable, which is, I must say more real than reality itself ! I pulled a nasty prank at school, the day before the summer holiday. I came with a gruesome make-up that made my face look like I had been badly bitten by some wild animal. I put on a hood so as to hide my face and force the teachers to ask me to uncover. It had a tremendous impact ! Thank you again !

Very real-looking! There is another, easier way. The only thing you need is a chain saw and guts!....
