Texture


FULLERS EARTH, GELATIN, LATEX.

Below is a picture of fullers earth on the head. It is a power mixed with water to create a thick paste, which can be placed on the body to create texture, almost like a second layer of skin. It also makes the face and body look dirty.
It goes on like a dark gray/clay colour, however when dried with a cool air, it becomes white, as seen in the bottom left of the picture.
  • Test beforehand on the skin to make sure the model has no allergies
  • While this product is generally safe, it does produce fine dust, so be careful with the eyes and respiratory system.




Gelatin-
You can buy gelatin from many cosmetic companies under the name of Gelglyk. It can come in flesh, dark flesh, or blood colours. It can be coloured ontop of, and items can be added to it, eg. colour, glitter, coffee, NO glitter in microwave.
  • Heat the gelatin bottle in a bowl of water in the microwave for about 40 seconds until its become a runny liquid.
  • Always check the temperature on the back of hand before use.
  • Place in cold water to cool the gelatin down. 
  • Do NOT heat up in anything metal.
  • Removed with prosade.
Great for larger areas, prosthetics and burns
Special tools need to be used.
Texture can be made by placing layers ontop of each other.

Latex-
Liquid latex contains about one third latex and two thirds water.
It is applied using sponges and takes about 5-10 minutes to dry, depending on how thick it is applied. 
Shimmer powders can be dusted over dried liquid latex to create metallic effects.
It is removed by peeling off as water does not affect it. Care has to be taken when doing this.
  • Test on the wrist as people are allergic 2 weeks in advance . Remove straight away if theres a reaction.
It can be used to make scars and gashes and added to tissue and cotton to create an even better effect.
It can also be placed on the lips to make them look really dry. 
It also can be used to apply crepe hair, to make wrinkles and fake skin. 
When dried it goes clear.
No moisturiser or anything used on skin before hand as it can stop it sticking.
Can be dried with warm hairdryer
Blend edges away with acetone. 
Stipple sponges can be used to make texture.




Tuplaste-
  • Placed on clean skin.
  • Excellent for making scars and cuts.
  • Squeeze out , and can be manipulated
  • When dry it can be powdered and coloured
  • Can be brought from Kryolan.
