| Halloween 2009 |
I enjoyed taking a quick break from midterms to put these recipes together - especially seeing as this year I will NOT be partaking in gruesome zombie makeup fun (no time!) and instead will be the banana to Erin's gorilla. Close?
Princess Kennedy: Halloween Makeup 101
When it comes to Halloween, I think it's more appropriate to go the scary route when it comes to costumes. There is nothing wrong with cowboys, pimps and naughty nurses, but I like to use this time of year to cover myself in as much fake blood as I can. Read More >
Hi forum, cool weather and good mood. life is a good thing however turn
ReplyDeletefoam latex is oodles of fun, but also oodles of work and pricey. I need to get with you and show the magic of Gelskin! It's basically glycerin and Knox gelatin rendered into a nice lovely suspension. It liquifies with warm water soaks, and sets into a lovely solid at room temperature.
ReplyDeleteYou can cover this with makeup and actually cut into it like real skin to create a skin-like texture. It's one of those things that old-school makeup artists only share with their prodigies. I hope I still have the recipe laying around somewhere....
I've heard of Gelskin but, keep in mind, I don't do the Knox gelatin (a colorless water-soluble glutinous protein obtained from animal tissues such as bone and skin) since I'm vegan! So, with makeup, I always try to find ways to be innovative with the instructions and utilize non-animal-derived means. :]
ReplyDeleteThank you, though!!
i thought about that after I posted. I've had similar results simply using powdered tapioca. I'm sure that sort of thing is available in bulk or at Calis.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's animal derived, but I'd have to take a look at the process.
Man, really want to know how can you be that smart, lol...great read, thanks.
ReplyDeleteDscokween: Hmmm! I'll totally give powdered tapioca a shot!
