Performance Artist RedRum demonstrates quick and creative uses of scar wax, gelatin based fx products and other dimensional makeup tools.

A little bit PEEPshow, a little bit FREAKshow...a little bit CREEPshow! Burlesque Performance Artist RedRum will demonstrate quick and creative uses of scar wax, gelatin based fx products and other means of achieving dimension with basic makeup tools.
