That is completely nasty. I love it.

 

Wow Cassies, that's really lovely....in a gross kind of way. Well done!

 

Looks great and TASTY TOO!

 

Why don't they feature this on the Quaker commercials? I'm sure they could sell more oatmeal that way!

Am definitely trying this out....

 

Latex, oatmeal and paint, Breakfast of Champions! Looks completely disgusting, Cassie.

It's perfect.

 

oH my that is nasty cool!!!!

 

Ewwwww! You may need a salve for that!

Looks great!

 

Totally sick!
I bet that is exactly what you were going for!

 

I have to ask, how easy did it come off?

 

It peeled right off in one piece. No problem

 

That is so awesome!
I've got a question about it, though. Has anyone tried using oatmeal on a prop? It looks so realistic that I think it would make a great effect on a zombie prop. Would it mold/rot or would it last indefinitely?

 

I would think that using paper punch circles from heavy paper instead of oatmeal, you may need to soak and dry to get an oatmeal consistency

 

You could also use scraps of dried latex instead of oatmeal too.

 

Hmmmm....there's something to think about. I'll have to figure out which is easiest!

 

Just think texture and you'll come up with a ton of ideas like small bits of torn paper towel and such.

I wouldn't bend my brain over it too much. It's a really simple effect to create. Jump in and give it a try.

 

That looks so fricken awsome! who would have thought that would look so great!

 

I have three after thoughts to add...

1) I don't think the oatmeal would mold or rot since it's sealed in latex. But don't quote me on that.

2) If you try this, the only prep you need to do before hand is to shave the area that is to have the latex applied to. You'd be surprised how unseen downy hair loves to attach itself to latex LOL

and...

3) You'll notice in the pics that the unpainted edges of the latex are a bit shiny, You can dust that with facial compact powder and the shine disappears.

 

What kind of paint did you use? It looks great!

 

Acrylic. I actually used my airbrush paints but any acrylic would work.

 

That's neat. Love the effect. There's no end to what magical latex can do in the hands of talent! Nice job!

 

That looks totally gross and disgusting! Its perfect! I think it would look wonderful on a cheek or a neck with a rat attached. Really nice job!

 

Oh that is so disgusting - I LOVE IT!

 

That looks really neat. I may have to try this.

 

thanks for this! I wanted to create road rash for my costume this year and this will be PERFECT!!!

 

Look!

Ok, I've never been good at makeup at all! All my make jobs year after year always look fake and bad the min I put it on.

I was anxious to try this as it looked way to easy and perfect for road rash that I wanted to do for my costume this year. I followed Cassie's instructions and i think it turned out amazing!! My wife is usually the one to do all the makeup and she was amazed that I did it so good!!!!

Here is the first picture after all the makeup was on.

I then added some stage blood to make it look like it was fresh, and here's what I think is the money shot.

Again, just wanted everyone to see how easy this is and how good it turns out!!!
