Burns 

Health and Safety:

• Take care when using alcohol; don't use it around the eyes 
• Using gelatine; ensure the client morally accepts gelatine
• Test the spatular temp before applying product to the skin
• Test the temp of the heated gelatine before application 

What I used:

• Super colour palette
• foundation palette could be used for getting the colour match perfect
• metal spatular 
• gelatine 
• stipple brush 
• makeup brushes 

Different types of burns

• First degree burns; these can flake, blister and the colouring is very bright 
• Second degree burns; could be due to acid, boiling water and fire, more blistering and darker colours, with fire burns the skin will roast like meat, the colours on this will be dark like soot, the skin could be broken around the edges, this is important to think about blending
• Third degree burns; deeper, see the bone and parts of the flesh 
• Forth degree burns; these get worse with appearance and stronger in colour, also blood may be visible, alcohol or moisturiser can be used for blending the colour, witch-hazel can be used to blend away the edges into the skin

There is no need to prepare the skin for the application of gelatine as it is a product that has no bad effects, also most people are non allergic to this. If there is a vegan who doesn't agree with this product, or if someone is allergic, gelatine material can be bought that is made from seaweed. This product come in jelly form and is melted in the microwave, colour can then be added or added on top once dry. It is important that when applying the heated gelatine to the client, it is tested on the makeup artist in case of being too hot, this product can also be remelted and red with a cool hair dryer.
