Liquid latex, old age stipple, acetone and barrier creams.
Always allergy test when using latex products, apply a small amount to the models wrist and leave to dry. If your model is allergic, it will go red, hot and/or very itchy.
Once you have cleansed and toned, apply a barrier cream to the area you are going to work on. Then take a sponge and stipple on a thin layer of latex. Use a hairdryer on a cool setting to dry the latex quickly.- Temperature is crucial, heat will slow down the drying process. Once the layer is dry, ask the model to exercise their face to see how the latex has affected it. Continue to add layers of latex until you are happy with the effect. Once happy with the latex, powder using a translucent powder, this instantly makes it look more flesh-like. Then you can colour the latex with either foundation or using a fine brush, define the wrinkles.
Latex will come off with warm water.
Health and safety:
- Before I do anything, I make sure that my brushes have been sufficiently cleaned with Isopropyl alcohol to prevent bacteria spreading.
- I covered my work station with couch roll to ensure that I had a clean space to put all my products and tools onto.
- I covered my model with a gown so that no product would fall onto her clothing.
- Before starting the makeup I asked my model if she had any skin diseases or medical conditions that i should be aware of. I also asked if she was wearing contact lenses, as some products will irritate them.
- I washed my hands with soap and water to prevent bacteria transferring.
- I decanted any product onto the back of my clean hand, to prevent double dipping and again preventing any bacteria from the models face being transferred into my make up.
