I'm sorry. I preface this with that because I am about to step onto my soapbox. I actually have no clue how many people really read this and I could just be reiterating the same rant that I have had with my friends having watch the latest (sure-to-be-emmy-winning) episode of Castle in which we see Beckett's scars for the first time. I'm sorry, I really am, but the doctor had his hands IN HER CHEST massaging her heart at one point and all she has is a 3 inch chest tube scar on her side and a tiny bullet wound scar? Uh, no. And I will not accept 'they didn't have time' or 'they didn't have the budget'. Bull. It takes minutes to draw a healed scar with whatever palette is your poison (Kryolon concealer, Skin Illustrator, etc.). I did it in about ten minutes tonight and had my mother (a nurse) convinced I had a well healed zipper scar. I then went on to apply scar wax and throw in a bullet wound near my heart for good measure and again the nurse was convinced. Now, y'all know I don't love my stuff generally and I seriously need new scar wax and another go at the ropey scar, but ... I don't know, you be the judge.
The makeup:
(Pictured: Kryolon concealer palette, Kryolon bruise wheel, scar wax, liquid latex, fake skin that I didn't use because it was way old)
My results:
Just makeup:
Scar wax:
I'm not really comfortable with my chest because of how freckled I am and I'm not big on showing off my girls, but for the sake of proving my point and for research I conceded.
