| Its also worth investing in proper remover, as both dermawax and collodion are a bitch to remove. Overall my answer to 'how can i do a scar on my face' is 'dont, its not worth the hassle'

| Yes I am beginning to agree as I am not prepeared to 'drink from the soup plate of honour' and get my face cut up in a schlager duel. Thanks for everyone's input though.

| Actual wax sometimes works quite well if you have someone you trust enough to pour hot wax near your eyes, but it too tends to dry up and fall off eventually. Quite often, you're kind of best with just using really nasty-looking makeup.

| Thanks. What sort of make-up products and techniques would you recommend for old, faded, white scars?

| Apply something sunblocking on the area to be scarred and go visit a solarium. Seriously... It`s that simple.

I used to have a long scar down the side of my face (well my character did ) it was supposed to be very old (over 10 years) and I just did it with collodion.
Paint it on in several layers the more uneven the better (unless you're going for the razor cut look), you don't need to colour it if its old (10+)
up to about 7 years you want it to be white, less then that purple fading to pink at about 2 years and bright red at less then a year
It will crack and come lose IF you put on a mobile part of your body or face, so find a bit that isn't as mobile as the rest
If the scar runs into a hairy place, remember that hair doesn't grow in scar tissue, for mine I used to part the beard with a fine comb on the line of the scar, you could use gel or white face paint to keep the hair parted, shaving a line doesn't look as real for some reason

| To avoid the drying-up-and-falling-off problem, it's also worth trying with white face powder and white and silvery eye pencil for very old scars, with pink and red lip pencil worked in for a more recent one. A touch of colloidon is really good there to give recent/healing scars a nice puckered look, though, even if it's just a very thin broken layer amongst the makeup. Using a bit of rouge or pink powder beneath is quite good to start off with, too, as it will make a white scar stand out a bit more. It really depends which part of your face you're planning to scar up - they can work deeper but cleaner on cheeks and more broken on temples.
