    How do I create a fake wound on my lip?

    Do the same thing. Do not use nail polish on your mouth, as it's toxic if ingested. Do not use fake blood -- instead, use lip gloss or lipstick for mouth wounds.

      Tips

      • If you're going for a nasty, infected, gangrene-type wound, use colors like blue, purple, brown, and green eyeshadow, to add shading, streaking, and blotching around the wound. This achieves an infected, dirty, bruised look.
      • Use matte makeup; shimmery or metallic makeup won't look realistic!
