Hi All

Going for a variation of this look and wanted to see if my thought process is right - -

(Not a SFX guy but I am a professional sculptor so I'm also not like brand new...)

Was going to take scar wax and just exaggerate the orbital areas, add to the cheekbones, and kind of build up the nose where bone meets cartilage...

Then a layer of liquid latex over the wax to blend and seal it -

Then cream makeup over the top -

2 questions - will that work, and are there user friendly brands of wax and cream makeup that are recommended - "amateur grade" level?

Thank you

First time using spirit gum. I think I messed up…

Hopefully this is the right place to get some help. I have this gore-y clown look that I do sometimes. I use scar wax to make it look like there are triangles cut out above and below my eyes. Last time I tried the wax didn't stick well (it was a different brand of wax than I used to use), so this time I put spirit gum under it. It wasn't until I went to go take everything off that I realized it might not have been the best idea to use it so close to my eyes. I was able to get the scar wax off easily without the remover, but there's still makeup and adhesive on my skin. Everything I read says you shouldn't use the adhesive or remover near your eyes. Is there a good way to get it off, or am I just screwed?

I am being Voldemort for Halloween, I have a bad latex allergy and need an alternative to create the same effect. Please assist with any ideas or alternatives!
