Decomposition

Decompositon is the process where the body begins to break down and rot.
Decomposition only happens to natrual substances such as living organisms and plants. It occurs at the start of death (4 minutes after death to be preice) if you are resuscitated 4 minutes before death you can be broigjt back with minimal damage.

The first stage of decomposition is the lack of oxygen flow through the body and the brain and the body will begin to cool down as the body is no longer warm blooded. Every fluid and gas left in the body leaks from the body aswell as muscle relaxation.

3-4 hours after of death the body gose into riggsmortis which after all the gases and fluids relaese and the muscle relaxation,the body begins to stiffen. The skin becomes blue looking and loose.

It is inportant for a makeup artist to know the process for when they need to create a dead body such as on a morge in a funeral home or if required making multiple bodies to show the stages of decomposition. Most tv shows and films go for a more realistic appearance so getting the look accurate is inportant.

 Good key points to create a courpse look is to apply grey/green/blue tones to the skin. Loosely colour in the lips withba blueish shade to make the skin look cool. Contouring the contours of the face and eye shockeds for a more hollow look.
