Our own summary of the original — the full post and photos live at radmegan.com.
Directions
- Make fake burns at home using gelatin and coloring (specifically using an old tube of blood red lipstick and an old bottle of mascara to add a 'char').
- Create an easy-to-make black eye or bruise using a 'Bruise Wheel' (cream-based color) or eye shadow.
- Wash off the gelatin burns with warm water (it can peel right off, but washing is preferred).
- Remove the fake bruises using a little warm water and soap.
