To comment about beards: I liberally applied Vaseline to my boyfriend's full beard before the liquid latex. The dried latex came off at the end of the night with no problems or damage to his beard. 👍 hope that helps
Brilliant! Thanks for the tip, I've never been brave enough to put it in someones beard incase I couldn't get it out again haha
Thank you so much. Gonna try this!
Seriously this video needs to be higher up on youtube search as its soo informative :)
also thank you soo much for the video seriously you're an absolute legend :)
Wauw thank you ! This video was very helpful. Tonight my friend is throwing a halloween party and I wanted to make some wounds with liquid latex but I've never worked with it.
Thanks so much! I'm so glad this vid helped you, good luck with the wounds I'm sure they're going to be awesome :)
I'm scared to use liquid latex now 😂😂😂
Same I'm still going to do it though
thanks ALOT. I just bought a liquid latex and I seriously had no idea what to do. this video helped alot
Thanks so much :) how are you getting on with your latex?
+TeaIsForTeagan working with it is so fun and amazing!
@@parmidarafiee8217 would mouldcraft liquid latex work for cosmetic. I am a beginner cosplayer I hope to use it for shoto todoroki. Would moulcraft work
This video was so much better than others. Very informative and too the point. Thank you!!
Thankyou Very much I come from an background and I have never used iquid latex before I have found it very helpful that you have put this up for me the health and safety talk is always important we always had them during the course.
You can protect a beard or any hair with Vaseline, petroleum gel, or Mary Kay makeup remover will EASILY remove out of hair!
so your saying if i coat my 2ft long beard in Vaseline i wont have to worry about the latex sticking to it? cuz that would be super!
@@PKAdventures wait but are you applying liquid latex to your entire beard? Bc I'd love to see that look 😂
Thank you very helpful I have used it many time but didn’t know about gluesticking the eyebrows something I might try next time
Excellent tips thanks!!
Wonderful information thank you
Going to try liquid latex for the first time in a small area for a costume and wanted to prepare myself best i could - this was so helpful! Thank you
THanks so much! so glad it helped
I know this video is old but this is really helpful! Thank you!
Fantastic information. I purchased pour on the body liquid latex about 14 years ago for our honeymoon and we never used it...anniversary is coming up and I want to finally use it. Might be expired now but I am a bit more prepared and also a bit more worried and excited...😅
Thanks very informative
This video tutorial was very helpful! I was wondering if you can share the type of liquid latex that you would suggest?!? Using it for my daughter for Halloween and would like to purchase it ASAP so we can test it out to make sure she is not allergic. Thanks so much!!
thank you thank you. Very informative and so far away from the other schmaltzy tutorials, nice on DL and str8 4wrd. : )
Thanks, but for how long can you leave it on? like 24 hours? how do you get the stuff off, (just peeling ?)
what to do if the remaining liquid latex dries? how do i use it the next time? does mixing with water work?
thank you
Thank you for the tips it's really helpful when your first time user it's important to know the safety n rulz so u get better experience:)
Is pro mua technology the stuff you were talking about?
Thank you. I don't know why everybody else is not talking about it...
Do you know if is it safe to wear liquid latex around your eyes? Thanks.
Is latex adhesive is the same with liquid latex? Thank you
I have a cheek piercing and want to use liquid latex on my cheeks. I dont want to get it in my piercing should I use a bandaid to cover them or is there something better and safe?
Hi what latex would you recommend that's waterproof please
Is it safe for a mature 10 year old. My son wants to do something different how do I start off with something simple
Wait by craft latex does that mean latex you dont put on your face?
Thanks But what about removing it,,is it easily peeled off of skin or do need remover,,, also can we use it for glueing things to skin or we need pros aide,,they say latex will come off by perspiration,,,and its easily removed with little force.
Latex is pretty easily removed, some people prefer to use isopropyl miristate to remove it slowly so you don't get too much pulling on the skin (especially in delicate areas). If you've used latex over anywhere with small hairs then it'll probably rip all those hairs out which an pinch a little. You can use it for glueing things to the skin in a pinch but it's much better to use a proper skin safe glue (spirit gum, pros aid something like that). If you do use it to glue something to the skin then it would have to be something light otherwise the weight will probably make it fall off.
also does this apply to ready made latex
Are the eyebrows safe if you cover them with glue?
If you see this, please reply quickly. I heard that liquid latex stops the skin from breathing, which is bad for your skin. Is that true? and is there a different product that I could use instead of it?
Can latex hold a little bit of weight?
What’s the best method to take it off?
Hello,can you tell how to colour the white colour of latex(after it dries) so that it looks more natural?
Concealer or foundation
How can you remove it? Just pull it off?
Oh.. I wish I have seen this video 15 minutes ago... I just ruined a paintbrush with it... If you can't apply it with a brush which tool should I use, I want to make elven ears and to simulate tree's courtex on skin
You can use a makeup triangle thing and when it dries cut off the tip and use it again. Hope that helps
I use sponges and for small areas or if I want to stick small things to my work I use toothpicks
If im going to attach a rubber tube to my chest like a tube got insode my heart and blood comes out of it,,,and i use a simple pvc tube and i dont want it to fall ,,can i use layers of liquid latex around its brim ,,and make sure it will be there,,or should i use pros aid too,,, and plz tell me if i want the attachment site be elastic and not hard,,,should i use latex or silicon,,keeping in mind that i need strong adhesion.
I would suggest using pros aid or spirit gum to secure it, and then use the liquid latex to blend it out more naturally - it probably wouldn't be good just as an adhesive
Eeeekkk! Sorry it took me so long to reply! I'm sure you've probably already done your project and so my replying now is totally unhelpful but just in case...I'd agree with Jess Fischer. I wouldn't use liquid latex for adhesion I'd use another type of glue to actually stick it on. I'd also probably go for silicon to cover it as latex tends to not be too elastic, any areas where there'll be a lot of movement or skin stretching and the latex is going to end up peeling away from it.
TeaIsForTeagan ud be amazed if i told u i havent yet made that,,and ur reply counts for sure!! So silicon for the end attachment . ,,but what kind of glue or adhesive is suitable for silicone attached to skin,,,?
How can i add layers of glues around the attachment end, and make sure the glue isnt hard either.. the glue must be elastic too,,or at least not too hard,,
Ill be thankful
Would it be possible to stick the tube on with some kind of tape (like medical tape) to keep it in place, then cover that up with the silicone? Or are you planning to make the silicone like a prosthetic that you're going to attach on after?
If someone has just a little facial hair, not a beard, would blocking it out with a glue stick like you do with eyebrows be ok? Or should we use Vaseline?
Michaela Starnes I would go for the glue! It’s saver and easier to get it out later
so if i got cheaper latex from like a halloween kit if i let it air out will that help with the amonia?
I usually just pour out however much I think I'm going to use and let it air out for five or ten minutes. If you leave it too long it'll start to dry out.
If I follow all your tips how long is liquid latex is safe on your skin?
+Rae B. How long do you want to wear it for? Your skin can breathe through latex and it isn't toxic so nothing dangerous is getting absorbed into your skin. Check the safety instructions that come with your latex, but as far as I know you can wear it for as long as you like without any problems. Actors/actresses wear it all day on long shoots and it's fine.
When you wear it for long periods of time it can be a problem to keep it all looking how you want though, if you put it in an area with lots of movement like your mouth or forehead, or somewhere with bends like your elbows then after a while you'll feel the latex start to come unstuck from your skin. If there is an edge there then it will start to come away from your skin and there'll be a gap. You could have a little bottle of spirit gum or prosaide with you so you could stick it back down if that does happen.
Is it safe to use makeup brushes after the liquid latex has dried down completely? Or will it still ruin makeup brushes? Thanks
Yes, once it's totally dry you can use makeup brushes on it and they won't be ruined :)
Great Video! Do you really cover your eyebrows with glue? How do i remove it afterwards? Sounds horrofying :O
Thanks very much :) yes I do, some people just use Vaseline which seems to work fine but I'm soooo paranoid about losing my brows! I use a craft glue stick Iike you get at schools (they're called pritt stick in England) and it washes out really easily with soap and warm water.
+TeaIsForTeagan thank you!
What about removing it
What could you recommend for making the liquid latex shine after putting powder on it? I am going to an event soon and I will be wearing it on my torso. I don't want it stick during the night. I practiced with talcum powder and a thing coating of vaseline. It gave a really good shiny look. Will it last though?
How did it go? Did it last?
I need help quick!!! I got latex on my eyebrows and I need to get it off!HELP!
Do you still have it on your eyebrows or did it wear off?
where can i get cosmetic grade liquid latex?
Costume shops usually have it, and you can also look it up on Amazon; brands like Ben Nye and Mehron are pretty good for that stuff :)
ur the best
i wonder if plastering my ZZ Topish beard to my neck with a gluestick would keep it safe?
I wouldn't risk it on a beard that size plus you'd need a huge supply of glue sticks!!! You could try wrapping your beard in something as a protection layer, so maybe a layer of glue on the outer hairs, then stick some thick tissue like kitchen roll to the glue and work on top of that with the latex, I'd think that'd do the trick as long as you didn't use so much latex that it saturated through the kitchen towel. You could use something like cellophane which would be water proof so there'd be no risk of the latex seeping through, but then you might have a problem with whatever you build up with the latex sliding off along with the cellophane if it's too heavy. The only other alternative I can think of to keep your beard safe would be to build up whatever you're planning to do with latex off your face, let it dry, then use spirit gum to attach it instead. Good luck with whatever you're trying to make!
awesome. thanks for the ideas, i appreciate it
no worries! I don't know what you're planning to do with the latex, but you could use sfx gelatine instead maybe? Gelatine will basically melt with warm water so it's much less likely to end up taking any hair out with it. Also, hair gel on your beard might help things as well because then the hairs will be clumped together instead of single strands so it'll be much harder for any latex that does manage to sneak through to get a good hold.
ooo i like the hair gel idea!
I don't know about all this liquid latex stuff, but you sure are pretty! ....Lololol.
great tutorial tks...
Blocking out beards is probly the same as the eye brows
You can protect your beard by shaving it
Is the latex from party city ok
Yes
What is face powder
A powder for your face
So I watched a video and followed the guys directions BEFORE watching this video! He literally put liquid latax on his brows in 3 layers. I followed the video along to a T and I'm freaking out my son is about to come home from his party and I dont know how I'm going to get this shit out of his insainley thick brows
Is your inmate number on the back of your shirt?
Would it be safe to apply liquid latex to nipples? And will it come off if I sweat? I want to apply it to pasties and then to my nipples for a music festival which is going to be VERY hot so I will be sweating profusely.
You should be good it might hurt taking off but
How long would it take for a thin layer to dry approximately?
It usually takes around 5 minutes for a thin layer to dry properly. Latex turns a kind of yellowy colour once it's completely dry. If you're planning on doing lots of layers some people use hair dryers (make sure it's not too hot!) to speed up the drying process.
TeaIsForTeagan alright, thanks!
No one told me about the smell oh my gawdddd
just show us put on ur face to see what it does., wanna make Tiny hand for stop motion
