I come from a creative background, studying art at A level and a foundation diploma in Art and Design. 

 

Also experienced in media make-up prior to starting the courses, as well as, fashion make-up whilst working for Benefit Cosmetics.

Livor mortis is a physical finding within the body to detect death.

Livor mortis can change depending on cause of death but is generally purplish.

It is important to reference the anatomy of the human body to understand what areas of the face I will be sculpting onto and to understand their formation and characteristics.

Made up of pools of blood.

Excessive veining in patches.

Bluish purple or purplish red discolouration which appears under the skin after death. Caused by cut off circulation.

Skin appears mottled with various shades of purple and blue.
