Thread: Liquid latex...

Tweet

I just painted the skin on her nose to simulate bone and then built up the surrounding area with tissue. The white was more grey in real life but got washed out by the flash.
You could add crushed rice crispies fro texture.

I learned everything i know from watching tons of videos on youtube just type in liquid latex wounds and you will find alot...... or watch someone from a pro haunt that does make up that helps too!

if it helps any take a look at some of my pictures i love working with liquid latex.

Roll a worm out of the tissue then make an oval ring with it and stick that to your face. Then blend it with more tissue dabbed with latex add makeup and presto open wounds.
I’ll post a pic where I used this technique on a friend of mine.
I have made simple appliances with latex and once dried applied those to my skin.

One point missed (unless I missed the post LOL) is that latex has ammonia included in it to slow drying time. Some have more than others, but I've never had any stronger than say a smelling salt.

Once it's cured there is no ammonia smell or off gassing that I've noticed.

As for zombie type liquid latex, youtube has some videos on there. I just need to figure a simple, straight scar, but raised.

I've done that with liquid latex and modeling putty before. (these pics are from a makeup tutorial I did for the local soccer moms using nothing but stuff found in wal-mart, so only cream makeup, and not so great latex, etc.)

Just apply some liquid latex to some waxed paper in the shape you want.



Mold the putty how you want and add another coat on top of that. Peel off when it's dry.



Unfortunately, when time came to actually apply those, I didn't have enough time, so no finished pics.

Here's some I did for my son, however.
