Researching ways to portray a melting face

At the beginning of the production I was going to be doing the Special Effects make-up however it turned out different and Nayomi Roshini instead took the role of Special Effects however nevertheless I researched into a step by step process, I found, in which we can create a melting face.


This is the second part where I put the red dough onto the skull- the area that mostly has muscle







This is to create muscle, tender and skin to give a more natural realistic effect






This is where I will be boiling the wax and will add a red and purple crayon to add muscle colour








I add the nose eyes and other feature etc.

Create some flesh-tone wax and apply it and then add the makeup for a finishing touch







Get a heat-gun or a hair dryer to melt the face.







This is maybe something we are looking for..still not sure but it don't hurt to have a look and see what melting ideas I find...

I am currently looking at a few websites for special effects make up to see what they have and what can benefit me and my group for the 'melting scene'.
