Step by step:
1. I first applied a mixture of foundation in the shade 'fair olive' and the white skin base, with a stippling brush, all over the face. I made sure not to use too much product as I wanted the skin to look as natural as possible. I also made sure to blend it down the neck and over the ears.
2. I next took some more of the same mixture and applied it under the eyes and on the eyelids with a flat brush. I didn't want to apply to much product under the eyes, as I still wanted some of the natural darkness to show through, to stop it from looking like he was very too much makeup.

3. I then powdered the whole face and neck with a big fluffy brush and some loose translucent powder.

4. I mixed some 3rd degree makeup together to make a gooey mixture and I then smeared it all over the area where I wanted to burn with a spatular. I wanted to make the middle part of the 3rd degree makeup thick so that the chains could sink into it, however I made sure to blend the edges of the mixture with a spatula out so that it blended in with the skin.

5. When the 3rd degree makeup was still setting, I wrapped the silver chains around my model's neck, making sure that the chains sunk into the makeup so that it looked like it was burning into the skin.

6. I applied the red eye contact lenses in both eyes.
7. I used some grey eye shadow from my eye shadow palette and a fluffy blush brush to contour under the cheek bones, on the temples, either side of the nose and under the chin.

8. I blended some wine coloured eye shadow along the lower lash line of both eyes with a small flat brush.

9. I took a disposable mascara wand and dipped it in some makeup remover. I then brushed through his eyebrows and also any areas on the facial hair that I thought had some makeup in. 

10. I applied a small amount of the blood paste to the centre of the top and bottom lip and asked my model to rub his lips together.

11. I used a big fluffy brush to powder over the burn with some loose translucent powder.
12. After the 3rd degree makeup set and hardened, I applied some red supra colour with a flat brush all over to give an overall colour.

13. I then blended the edges with more red supra colour and an orange stippling sponge.

14. With a small angled brush, I applied some black supra colour in any areas where the silver chains dented the 'skin' to make it look like rust and to give more depth.

15. I took some blood paste on a flat brush and added it to any of the parts where the chains actually made contact with the skin.
(I waited until I was on location for the shoot before I added any salts or water. I also waited until just before I took the photo to add the blood tear.)

16. I brushed some gel through the sides of his hair, sweeping it backwards.

17. I then added some gel to the top section of his hair to make it sweep to one side, however it was being very stubborn.
18. I therefore blow dried it backwards with a hair dryer and round brush to manipulate the shape and direction of the hair.
