Grimas Derma Wax Set Eye

Grimas Derma Wax Set Eye

The Grimas Derma Wax Set Eye is a complete SFX make-up kit for building an eye wound. It holds a 60ml pot of Derma Wax, an artificial eye, film blood, two shades of face paint and the tools to apply everything and take it off again. No need to hunt for the separate parts.

What is this set?

The base is Derma Wax, a transparent wax you use to model injuries and distortions on the skin. According to Grimas the wax adheres well to the skin, including soft and mobile areas, and stays elastic. The 27 mm artificial eye is set into the wax. You colour the wound with the black and bordeaux red face paint and finish it with the film blood. Derma Wax is dermatologically tested.

Why choose this set?

You get everything that belongs to this one effect in a single box. The colours and the remover come in small sizes: face paint in 2.5 ml pans and remover in a 25 ml bottle. The pot of Derma Wax is the large 60ml size. You will have plenty left, so you can go on to use it for scars, cuts and other distortions.

How do you use the set?

1. Scrape some wax out of the pot with the rounded side of the spatula.
2. Spread the wax on the heel of your hand two or three times and scrape it off again. This makes it supple while keeping it firm. It should not become too soft or sticky.
3. Apply the wax to the skin, set the artificial eye into it and blend the edges down onto the skin.
4. Smooth the wax with a fingertip and a little cleansing cream. That is not included in the set.
5. Dab over the wax with a clean, dry sponge. This gives it a skin texture.
6. Powder with Transparent Powder. You buy that separately as well.
7. Colour the wound with the brush: black in the deepest parts, bordeaux red on the inside.
8. Finish with the film blood. Use the stipple sponge to dab colour or blood around the wound, for a graze for example.

For extra hold you can fix the wax in place with a skin adhesive such as Mastix Extra.

Setting and removing

Set with powder, not with spray. Transparent powder takes the shine and the tack out of the wax. Removing is done in steps. First scrape the wax off the skin with the spatula. Massage what is left with the Multi Remover Pure from the set and wipe it away. Repeat until the skin is clean. If a thin film remains, cleanse with Cleansing Lotion. Need more remover? There is also Multi Remover Pure 100 ml.

The film blood stays glossy and does not dry out, so it can transfer onto clothing. Rinse a stain straight away with cold water.
