But there are so many things that you could do with this product its like the ruler of the specail effects world. there are alot of pricey products out there but if you know your facts on liquid latex you can save a lot of money.

Liquid Latex Prosthetics

Yes instead of spending large amounts of money on prosthetics or prosthetic making products . You can make your very own prosthetics using Liquid Latex ! Warring it is harder to work with until you get used to. Making prosthetics with latex is simple easy and cost effective. I personally make prosthetics out of  gelatin and glycerin which is still very cost effective because you can use it multiple times but that is for a holy different kind of future blog post . Back to Latex!!! Lets get started

Pick something you want to prosthetic. It could be anything just for the sake of explaining this to you i am going to say we want to make a prosthetic of a bullet hole, because it is probably the easies.

So you are going to pick a hard surface That you don't mind working with makeup on you are going to take your liquid latex and put a round circle the size of a bullet hole on to the surface your working with and then let it  dry. do this 3 to 4 times. Tip* you could build it up with tissues if you want a thinker surface to lay around with. But it is not required .

When completely dry peel the prosthetic off  of your surface and bam ! lol that is kind of iconic because we are talking about bullet holes haha okay yes im painfuly funny moving on !

Glue the prostheitc on to your face using lates , sprit gum or some kind of fx glue.

You can use this method to make just about any prosthetic you can work on your face or use some type of mold the options are endless

Liquid Latex for tears in the skin

Lets face it you can add a cut a tear or rip to the prettiest costume in the world and it will still make it look cooler.

 So if you read any of my other posts you would know i say this alot but this is how you do it because honestly since halloween paseed my blog is probably currently the least intresting.

So you put a layer of latex across any part of your body. Basicly the face neck and arms becsue i cant see you putting it anywhere else  . Then put a layer of 1ply tissues over it. wait for it dry. Repeat this process until you feel that your fake skin is built up enough to play with. I usally do 6 layers because we have to cut this open . I dont want to aciddently slice my neck or face open. so the more layers the more safety.

 

Liquid Latex Body paint ????

I have heard of body painting and I have heard of using latex for special effects. But I never would of thought to put the to of them together . In my research I wanted to find something out that I didn't quite know about latex. This just happens to be it.

At first it was so strange to me because latex sticks to hair and wouldn't that be so painful if your pint on a body part that has hair like arms for example?

But then it occurred  to me that it dry's quick it is able to peel off easily and it is good a base to paint over  sometimes the strangest things can make art I suppose.

Don'ts of Latex  

Dont put latex in hair because it will not come out you will have to shave your head not kidding. I once got a tiny bit in the tip of my hair once thank god it was only the tip.

Be careful if your putting latex around sentive area like the lips and eyes. Getting latex  in your eye can blind you . Becasue just like any other surface  it will create a thin layer and you dont want a thin layer of latex over your eye.

If your going to be putting latex over your eyebrows please glue them down using sprit gum as long as you have a sprit gum remover it is perfectly safe becasue latex is so hard to get out of your eyebrows.

Until next time Fxers

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na BATMAN ( Actualy the Joker )

Hello Fxers and unfortuntly it is the  dreaded month of November lets all have a moment of slince and bow our heads in respect  for Halloween that pasted this weekend R.I.P. until next year my old friend. Just becasue Halloween is over dosent mean specail effects die off until next year. So you best belive  that  I will be going strong. The only good thing about November arrving beside thanksgiving is that all Halloween  products go on sale the day after Halloween so you can stock up for the next year or next day or week if your some one like me.  Lets be honest here who doesnt like to mess around with specail effects makeup all year round  "circkets " Okay i get it im the only one .

Well someone asked me to do there makeup for Halloween this past Saturday and i thought awsome they said they wanted to look the joker form batman. And me trying to put  my own spin on things started to weigh the possiblitlys.Thier is like three basic jokers the newest being sudice squad tatted up joker which i find the hardest thing on the plant to accomplish  because i cant draw in real  life so how can i paint tatoos all over my body. The second being the most well know joker with  the iconic catch phrae why so serious  ? Which is absoulty doable but I dont go slight with things I go exterme or go home. The last joker is the basic joker white face , black eyes, red lips up to your ear. So I naturaly picked the seond joker but he didn't have scars . His  smile cut to deep and the sides of his face are kinda peeling off

How to

 

Step 1 Paint your face white and hosntly this is the most annoying  part becasue you have to do so many layers to get a good coat.

 

Step 2 Messly  fill in your whole area with black cover thoose eyebrows to .  Kind of a gross tip if you lick your finger you can drag some of the black down into the white to make it look messer .

 

Step 3 If you can srunch up your face and your forehead wrinkles up you want to define thosse wrinkles with the white face paint if your like me and not gifted with this skill to keep it simple  we will skip this step.

 

Step 4 Go crazy we are challenging the joker here! Start to messily fill your lips in with the red cream paint.

 

Step 5  Start to apply your latex and tissues from the cornor of your lip to almost the end of your check. If you need to see a quick explaintion of how to apply latex you can look at my other posts because i explain it in just about everyone or stay tuned for this weeks second post where I will  teach everything you need to know about Latex .

 

Step 6. Cut your new skin open apply differnt shades of red brusing if you want and lots of blood

 

Step 7 This is the most important!! You must have the green hair garb a wig , dye your hair  or the spray in the color works just fine  .  Without it this look can go form joker to bad clown makeup in 2 seconds falt

 

 

Until next time Fxers Do you wanna know how I got these scars?
