| 1232 | Article | pikachulover | I didn't really care about Hanson. A bunch of the girls in my 8th grade class went crazy for them and wrote "Hanson" on their backpacks in whiteout. If you are interested you should find the Madtv Hanson parody skit. They have a song called "Ling Ling" in the skit. | Sep 10, 2014 |  | |

| 1237 | Article | Vaporman87 | My luck with make-up, prosthetics, and other accessories for Halloween was not good at all. Typically I ended up with something far different than what was pictured on the packaging. That was to be expected though, as the images on the packaging are done by teams of professionals. It's when a single person tries to replicate what a team of people achieved that the person realizes just how futile it is to even try. It didn't take me long to realize that I was best sticking with standard masks and clothing. | A Little Witchy | Sep 15, 2014 | |
| 1238 | Article | pikachulover | After the witch mask I learned my lesson. ;P If I did ever decide to go back to prosthetics I'd try to get somebody else to apply them on me. | A Little Witchy | Sep 15, 2014 | |
| 1239 | Article | Vaporman87 | Perhaps if there were a way to apply the makeup to a prosthetic that was a full face cover, THEN apply the prosthetic AFTER it has been all touched up and painted, that might work alright. | A Little Witchy | Sep 15, 2014 | |
| 1240 | Article | NLogan | Unless you have a lot of experience with liquid latex it can be hard to use to support the weight of the mask pieces. The best thing to do is buy Spirit Gum. It looks sort of like honey. You put it around the edges of the prosthetic and on your face where the prosthetic is supposed to go. Then you wait a few minutes before putting it on letting it get tacky. Using your finger you tap the area of Spirit Gum making it very sticky. Then you put on the prosthetic and hold it in place for a while. Then you apply liquid latex to cover up the edges of the prosthetic and blend into your face. You can do the same with the latex but it is harder having to build multiple layers. You can then grease paint right over the prosthetic and your exposed skin. Spirit gum works great for attaching crepe hair as well same process. | A Little Witchy | Sep 15, 2014 | |
| 1241 | Article | NLogan | I have used a living faces mask twice. I thought they were great for what I paid for. The first one was a skull mask that I used to become an undead WWII U.S. soldier. My brother was an undead Nazi soldier. Another year I used the same skull mask painted silver to be a Terminator. My brother and I split a mask each using half and a lot of liquid latex, nose wax, and fake blood. We even had light up eyes in the cyborg part of our faces. | A Little Witchy | Sep 15, 2014 | |
| 1242 | Article | Vaporman87 | That's cool. I've never heard of this Spirit Gum. Is it a fairly new thing, or something that's been around a while? | A Little Witchy | Sep 15, 2014 | |
| 1243 | Article | Hoju Koolander | pikachulover, too bad your Mom couldn't figure out the Gadget costume, that would have been pretty awesome. Cool that she put the custom Witch outfit together for you though. Vaporman87, from your question I'm assuming you were not in any plays growing up. Spirit Gum is old school glue used in the theater to attach fake beards, mustaches and prosthetics to your face with. It's like rubber cement for your face, so it sticks really well and you have to use rubbing alcohol or a dissolving solution to get it off. | A Little Witchy | Sep 15, 2014 | |
| 1244 | Article | NLogan | @Vaporman, spirit gum is as old as the hills. All the classic movie monsters i.e. Lon Chaney as the Phantom of the Opera, Boris Karloff as Frankenstein, Lon Chaney Jr. as the Wolf Man, Boris Karloff as the Mummy, etc. all used spirit gum, mortician's wax , and sometimes cotton built up with collidion. Spirit gum has been used in the theater since the 1890s. | A Little Witchy | Sep 15, 2014 | |
