Comment on Is it okay to fake Vitiligo makeup for a cosplay??
rowrowrowyourboat@sh.itjust.works 2 months agoThis is incorrect. This is not a healed scar at all. That’s a very fresh burnt wound exposing the flesh underneath without the melanin layer.
You can literally see the wound is fresh and is peeling off. Not a healed scar.
Go look up healed burn scars on black skin. The images can be pretty gruesome, but the melanin mostly returns.
I did do that, I cant link the other images I found tho, but sometimes It doesn’t come back. It depends on the severity of the burn
And in the context of JEFF THE KILLER, his melanin doesn’t come back either. After the burn, his hair turns black and his skin turns white. That’s how he’s always looked. So the skin being turned white regardless is true to the character. Hence why I want to have white splotches in the makeup.

I legit already did that and it’s both. it can get lighter or darker.

All of it depends on the type of burn, severity, and the person’s skin. Jeff the killer became lighter after the burn, so to me it would make sense that, if my skin was burned, Id have both dark spots and white blotches leftover on my skin.
