This is the impressive moment a makeup artist painted a realistic stitched wound effect on her friend.

The makeup FX artist demonstrated how she mimicked torn, sutured skin using professional-grade materials on the man's abdomen in Zhejiang, China.

Footage shows the woman pressing and shaping a prosthetic piece, with black threads looped through the skin-textured sheet on June 23.

She then painted the latex by dabbing blood-toned pigments and sculpting raised scar tissues to create an extremely convincing wound.

The method is commonly used in film and television to simulate injuries, surgeries, or battle damage without putting actors at risk.

Known as special effects makeup, the technique dates back to the early 20th century, when pioneering makeup artist Jack Pierce created iconic monster effects for Universal Studios, including Frankenstein's monster and The Mummy.
