Any other 'Back to Basics' videos you guys would like? Maybe an updated brush cleaning one, or difference between prosaide and silicone adhesives? Or different removals for different kinds of prosthetics (gelatine vs foam vs latex vs silicone removal)?
I would love to see you do some basic sculpting techniques, like how to create a fatty texture, skintexture etc. Doesn't have to be a full sculpting and moulding of a wound you make a big tutorial of, just sculpting clay ❤
Definitely a video on the differences between adhesives and also their removers. I also think a video on the ins and outs of quick latex mask making as well as how to properly vulcanize for strength afterwards. A lot of people are also ill informed on the differences between latex. Such as viscosity and ammonia concentration.
I know from watching othesr that a good one to do and that most are uninformed of it is the differences between adhesives and also what removers to use for what. I once saw lady trying to pull of a prosthetic with prosaide on it cause she thought it removes just like latex. Scary moment. Removal (proper removal) would be a very good one.
A video on glues. And in depth removal would be fantastic. I feel like it's loosely touched on in a lot of videos, but it's so important to any prosthetic application.
I’ve been subscribed to this channel for about 4 years, maybe more, and it’s so refreshing to see how far you’ve come! I remember in your early videos you sounded unconfident and unsure if what you were doing was right, but you had such incredible talent. But now? You’ve gained so much confidence in your abilities and narrating your videos and tutorials and it’s so nice to see how far you’ve come. I’m glad I subscribed to you all those years ago! ❤️
Your colour theory and technical videos are the best. I don't do that much special effects work, but the great thing about your technique videos is that they can be applied across mediums, from makeup to illustrations.
Even as someone knowledgeable in sfx makeup I still always come and watch any video or content you put out to support ya♡ The work you do is so important to sfx knowledge bases for new and aspiring artists~ Super proud of how successful your classes have been btw!
It’s incredible how much of a difference those really light washes of color make. From what I can tel alcohol activated paints are like the holy grail for achieving super realistic skin tones. You really make it look easy but lol I think we all know it takes much more skill . This was super helpful though!
Yeah honestly being able to do translucent washes helps so much, and with lots of practice you can get quicker with working out what colours each skin tone needs to match, and the spattering can cover areas super fast.
Freakmo 😁 Thanks so much for replying! I LOVE watching you’re channel. So inspiring & you’re so immensely talented! From what I see, they’re invaluable in creating the most realistic looks. I’d love to see a transformation into like your fav actress or something. Creating creatures & fantasy stuff is amazing but I think it would be a great thing to see you capture another person You know? There’s less room for creativity but being able to nail it would be just another testament to how amazing you are!
Hi, Can you make a video on how to cover tattoos with the alcohol palette? I have heared this is one of the best ways to cover tattoo but I have not been successful in this so far. Love your channel! Keep doing it! Thanks in advance!
Yeah, there's a little bit on that in a tattoo covering video I did a year or two ago, showing just alcohols vs just pax, then using pax as a base and alcohol paints on top.
It’s nice seeing detailed demonstrations of what seems like such a simple technique. Seeing someone playing with the variables is v.helpful. Thanks! As for suggestion, are there any techniques that are specific to water activated paints that are worth sharing? Ps. Love “going ham”! Going to have to use that in conversation 😀
hi! i know i’m EXTREMELY late but do you have any recommendations for cheaper alternatives for alcohol paints? I just recently started SFX (mostly for fun) and I cant find good, cheap alcohol paints. I don’t want to spend $90 on a palette if i’m not going to use it ALL THE TIME or professionally. Any recommendations?
Could you do a video on the different paints you'd need to use for different materials? So Pax paints, silicone paints, cream, even acrylics or whatever is used for fabrication? When to use what, what you can use as a base so you can paint, like a guide! Your videos are very informational love them
I usually don't read comments on videos but scrolled through and how interesting things people ask and how helpful it was I will start reading your comment section on every video 😍😄
I use gouache and watercolor pretty often (not on my face) but for me, this wasn’t as much of a learning curve for me but this video was still a huge help, thank you for doing tutorials :))!
Thanks to share your techniques and works! Can you tell me if the palettes colors adhere well to the silicone? We can manipulate the object without removing silicone colors?
I have seen a lot of videos on alcohol paints.... But none of them show trying to use on different kinds of prosthetics. I have tried to use some alcohol paint on gelatin prosthetics, and it seems to be almost impossible! Every time I wet my brush with more paint and try to go back to the prosthetic it takes off what I have previously put on. How do you add more color to an area without the alcohol removing what you have already done. It's cool if you're spattering but using the brush normally seems impossible.
What do you mean by silicone that isn't sealed? i just bought a silicone prosthetic from Nimba creations and their perfect 2.0 pallet of alcohol paints. I've also never used prosthetics in my work before. Should I be doing something to the prosthetic prior to painting on it? Thanks.
Are you using 99% isopropyl alcohol? And is it safe for skin? Also, what about the fumes? I have a dog and often worry about working with my alcohol palettes near her. I’m still learning about fx makeup. 😬
I'm still learning I've only been doing Sfx since November of 2018 but I want to learn everything I can while doing it myself ( How do you wash off / remove alcohol paints )
hahaha thanks, my lens was slightly struggling to focus where I wanted it to. My friend choppa brought it over for me to play with, it's a Rode one but I don't know the specific name of it sorry
Yes of course it would be Rode. I should have known. T'is a company from your shores. Have to chat soon and see how you are getting on mate. Two bellends have disliked this. Thats very stupid of them.
I usually just use 99% isopropyl alcohol and a paper towel, and spray and wipe until it comes out clean, then to sanitise them between people, I'll use 70% iso alcohol spray and wiped.
I got my t togush alcohol activated paints. I got both variants. They're not labelled but i guess, One pallette is for complexion, The other one is fx pallete. The first time I used it, i spattered all over the place 🙄🤣 you can even remove each pan of the colors so you can customize your pallete
I haven't found any companies that make colours that I like as much as the complexion ones. The complexion palette is hard to find here in Australia so I often have to import my palettes from the USA - Frends beauty and camera ready cosmetics have good international shipping.
Formx from the Netherlands and Maske Berlin sell Skin Illustrator. You can also order them from the UK, like from Guru Make Up Emporium and Tilt Make Up
Yes you can put it directly on the skin. Just avoid the eye area as dripping alcohol on your eye is unpleasant. It is waterproof and will require makeup remover or alcohol to be taken off the skin. In a clutch it can probably be scrubbed off with soap in water, but it's easier with the proper tools. I use isopropyl myristate as it removes pretty much everything, but doesn't dry out the skin.
yes and yes! It's the best. It flashes off (evaporates) super fast so the solvents are only on the skin for a little while. If you're fully airbrushing a whole body and multiple layers, it's definitely best to have some form of air extraction or a fan and an open room, and if the person is being coated in alcohol paint to the skin for multiple days/weeks/months, it's worth it to put down a barrier cream or foam first to protect the skin (something like Dermaguard) and give the skin a break every few days if it's becoming too irritated/dry.

Removals would be great. It feels like I never really get pros-aide all the way off, especially from my eyebrows.

Aw this is really sweet, thank you so much!!

It's amazing how many varying effects you can get from just one color 👍
It's a versatile product fo sho
I don’t even do special effects I just love freakmo
You should try
Even as someone knowledgeable in sfx makeup I still always come and watch any video or content you put out to support ya♡ The work you do is so important to sfx knowledge bases for new and aspiring artists~

Love your channel! Keep doing it!
Thanks in advance!
i think she has done that before, altho i can't remember if it was only with alcohol paints or with pax paints as well.
Yeah, there's a little bit on that in a tattoo covering video I did a year or two ago, showing just alcohols vs just pax, then using pax as a base and alcohol paints on top.
Alex Aliona , thank you. I' ll search for it.
Freakmo , thank you! I will find it.
It’s nice seeing detailed demonstrations of what seems like such a simple technique. Seeing someone playing with the variables is v.helpful. Thanks!
As for suggestion, are there any techniques that are specific to water activated paints that are worth sharing?
Ps. Love “going ham”! Going to have to use that in conversation 😀
Haha, I don't play with the waterbased ones often enough to have an informed answer, I'm sorry!
hi! i know i’m EXTREMELY late but do you have any recommendations for cheaper alternatives for alcohol paints? I just recently started SFX (mostly for fun) and I cant find good, cheap alcohol paints.

Great idea!
Could u show us how you would skin match with various skin tones?
I usually don't read comments on videos but scrolled through and how interesting things people ask and how helpful it was I will start reading your comment section on every video 😍😄
They're a good bunch! :D
I use gouache and watercolor pretty often (not on my face) but for me, this wasn’t as much of a learning curve for me but this video was still a huge help, thank you for doing tutorials :))!
Thanks to share your techniques and works! Can you tell me if the palettes colors adhere well to the silicone? We can manipulate the object without removing silicone colors?
What alchohol palettes would you recommend in a starter kit?
Make a videp of the top 20 or 10 best school of sfx makeup pls
Amazing video! Now I understand more about these palettes.
Yay, I'm glad it helped!

How do you add more color to an area without the alcohol removing what you have already done.
It's cool if you're spattering but using the brush normally seems impossible.
maybe spray some clear sealant between the layers?
What do you mean by silicone that isn't sealed? i just bought a silicone prosthetic from Nimba creations and their perfect 2.0 pallet of alcohol paints. I've also never used prosthetics in my work before. Should I be doing something to the prosthetic prior to painting on it? Thanks.

Love your Lip Colour! Great video thx for sharing.
Good video! I love your lipstick, what is it?
Thank you! It's Sigma Lip Base in Magnetism
How would you create a small cut effect? Not like a huge gash but like a small knife cut or a glass cut.
Can this be used for base make up
I'm still learning I've only been doing Sfx since November of 2018 but I want to learn everything I can while doing it myself
( How do you wash off / remove alcohol paints )
alcohol is the only way remove alcohol
I need more videos like this
Nice to see you again Kiana. Nice bokeh going on there. what lav mic you using? Great content as always
hahaha thanks, my lens was slightly struggling to focus where I wanted it to. My friend choppa brought it over for me to play with, it's a Rode one but I don't know the specific name of it sorry
Yes of course it would be Rode. I should have known. T'is a company from your shores. Have to chat soon and see how you are getting on mate.
Two bellends have disliked this. Thats very stupid of them.
How about colour matching tutorial?
So helpful!!! Ps pls make some more gorenaments for even Halloween Or Christmas I missed out last time
Your videos are so quality. And this is so interesting. You look absolutely gorgeous in this video too, what is the lippie you have on?? 🧡
Thank you so much! It's some random Sigma lip base pencil lol, I think it's called Magnetism.
Great video!!!
How do you clean the brushes afterwards? Can you use the same brushes for alcohol makeup and regular/water activated makeup?
I usually just use 99% isopropyl alcohol and a paper towel, and spray and wipe until it comes out clean, then to sanitise them between people, I'll use 70% iso alcohol spray and wiped.
Freakmo thank you :D
Can you only use this with baldiez? I’m guessing it’s not compatible with super baldiez because of the alcohol.
Great vid !
Thanks!!
@Freakmo I would like to learn about encapsulated silicone prosthetics not sure if you do that but throwing it out there.
Yeah I've got a few videos on my channel, the most recent in depth one is the infected knee - divided up into four parts.
I want to know how to apply fake hair for like a beard or something like that and how to make a squirting slit throat
I got my t togush alcohol activated paints. I got both variants. They're not labelled but i guess, One pallette is for complexion, The other one is fx pallete. The first time I used it, i spattered all over the place 🙄🤣 you can even remove each pan of the colors so you can customize your pallete
You are my hero
This was SO helpfull omg
Loved the video! Very informativ. Do you have any skin-illustrator dupe recomendations? It is a pain in the a.. to get skin-ill. in Europe.
