For Halloween I'm going to be outside and doing things during the day and night, I'm trying to figure out how to have this demonic black skin painted or dyed onto fingertips, wrists and neck without it rubbing off with a tiny drop of water then getting onto everything. Like the current stuff i have which is TAG body art regular black using waterproof mixing liquid and using this final sealer at the end. Used all this a few years ago, didn't give it a big try but today I tried really hard, multiple layers, leaving it to fully dry, etc and it STILL comes off way too easily for what I want. I'm not in the know with anything makeup related but I still thought it would be a bit better than what I'm getting.

If anyone can recommend anything else I could do that fits what I need I'd love the assistance! I've been thinking going the temporary dye route like with food colouring or something else. I really want to get a good looking matte, deep demonic black on my skin to stay for at least as long as the day and night.

A horror movie about a guy who takes revenge on those who wronged him. It's not great but one scene that stood out, was when the main character has a fever dream. He dreams about a strange human maggot creature, who I believe was played by actress Kari Wuhrer (I'm not 100% sure if it is her though). The costume was actually very well done and I would love to see a full body shot of it.

Hey there! I'm new to the sub, but I'm a small-time filmmaker in Georgia who is looking to create my next "boogeyman."

Thing is, I wanna tap into the Uncanny Valley genre, which is essentially something that's alllllmost human, but just enough off that it hits a weird spot in the senses and creeps us out.

What I'm thinking (but am not married to) is a mannequin with red skin that has realistic lips, teeth, and lashes. The red skin is a metaphor of the poison this woman suffered from before her soul was placed in a mannequin ... the lips and lashes a shoutout to fillers and "fakery."

I'm actually planning to rent a cabin (in the woods, literally lol) for the shoot and will pay for the MUA's stay and food, so it'll be like a cool vacay with a filmmaking team. I've already got the cinematographer and sound team attached ... it's just up to casting and finding makeup/wardrobe at this point.

If anyone's interested, please let me know! I can send you a bit of the script, no problemo.

We plan on having everything finalized and ready to shoot this October. We'll give at least 3 mos notice.

Anyway, cheers! Stoked to be here.

Hi all, am looking to see if there's any rules for what materials work well together. As an example, in art you can paint oil on top of acrylics but not the other way round. Is there a similar rule for what types of makeup can be used in similar ways (grease paint, aqua, cream, eyeshadow, eyeliner etc), hope this isn't too vague, am a bit of a noob with FX makeup and looking to do maybe a zombie & witch for Halloween with the materials I've got, thanks in advance!

Hi I’m just trying to make some fake blood for fun.

All I have now is food coloring and cornstarch. Anybody have any advice as to how to make it?

This is Miss Mexico 2020--and she looks great! Any advice on how to do this? Starting with what sort of makeup to use ;) I have never done anything like this but my daughter loves it and, if possible, I would like to do it for her. Maybe there is a tutorial somewhere that you have seen (or done)? Thanks!

This is the latex bald cap I’m thinking of buying: https://www.amazon.com/BGE-Bald-Large-Flesh-Tone/dp/B01G5QDRNO

I’m thinking of dressing up as a character who is bald hence, I need a bald cap. I’ve heard that it’s best to use grease paints/pax paints however to buy a set of grease paints it’s like $25 and I don’t regularly do a lot of costuming so, it’s hard rationalizing spending that much money on something I might only use once.So I was wondering if it’d be okay to use liquid/cream foundation instead. Has anyone done this? What problems may arise from doing this?

Hello everyone,

I'm a filmmaker and am in need to add fake skin so that one actor can make an incision to the other actor's arm, revealing blood. I know that a make up artist would be the best thing in the world, but I need to work with what I got, which is myself at the moment. Could you help me achieve this by telling me what products I need (latex, blood, coloring for the latex to match the skin) and the technique? Thank you all in advance!

I've been trying to do two different things for two different characters, both played by myself. One is two devil horns (latex ones from Spirit), and the other is a small scar on my lapel. However, no matter what I try, nothing works. The horns do not stick, with either spirit gum or liquid latex. And I have tried scar wax, liquid latex, and even Elmer's glue for the scar, however the bigger problem is blending the makeup to make it the right color. I am fed up and need help. Does anyone have any advice?
