I have been Into the show face of flatly and wanted to try some special effects makeup out. I used liquid latex, tissues, fake blood, and eyeshadow. I edited the picture a little but I want to know how I could do it better. There's a line I can see where the latex meets my skin and looks in natural, anyone know how I can fix that. Also all the products I bought at party city so it's not very high quality.

Woah! That's awesome! I definitely would recommend layers when applying liquid layers until you can see it's very smooth with the skin. Then I would apply foundation that matches your skin.

Wait, the foundation part, don't look at that.

Oh my god! I swear I know what to do! Yes, do put some makeup on the edges where the latex is, then blend it out. I am so sorry, I probably sound doubtful but tip, make sure it's your skin color.

Omigod I almost threw up when I opened the thread... Ewwww

BUT that being said it looks AWESOME!! I can see what you're saying and I agree with Erynn! I think makeup matching your skintone or a bit lighter would work for evening out that line...

For future reference you might also want to warn in the title that the picture inside might be a little gory...

Love it!! 😆
There are ways to fix the line though. I have the same problem. Mixing foundation with the latex makes the latex a more natural color though and also matches better with the skin. Layer it on you skin till it's even with your own skin. If it's a price you are putting on your skin keep putting the latex on till it's even with the skin. (I hope that part made sense.) then over top of the latex that's dried (which it has the foundation in it so it's more a skin color. Out a foundation that is your color skin on so it blends even better. :) then I set it with a powder normally :)
I hope this helps :)

Lovely work though :) I love seeing this kind of stuff :D

Try using wax instead of latex for scars, it blends easier.
