| 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. | 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 | |
| 1245 | Article | Vaporman87 | Cool. Thanks for the info Hoju and NLogan. You would be right in assuming I was not a staple of school plays and the like. I was not. In fact, I can only remember being in one school play in elementary school, and I had to wear a ridiculous purple and gold "dutch boy" outfit, complete with giant buttons and crazy hat. | A Little Witchy | Sep 15, 2014 | |
| 1247 | Article | NLogan | Hoju Koolander I love the personal pictures. To me that is what Halloween is all about. Can't beat the nostalgia level of some of those old Ben Cooper and Collegeville costumes. As you know my brother was also Yoda back in the day. Long live cellophane windowed boxes, rubber bands that broke on your sweaty face mask, and vinyl smocks... well the memories of them anyways. | Halloween Hallelujah! | Sep 16, 2014 | |
