Liven Up Your Halloween Costume With Some Liquid Latex

Liquid Latex is a go-to Halloween staple. It is the perfect special effects product to create all those gory gashes, scary scars, and mummified membranes that will take your costume to the next level. Pros rely on it to create unusual skin texture and to apply Crepe Hair and prosthetics. While its professional use may seem intimidating, Liquid Latex is easier to apply - and remove - than you think. Just follow the tips and ideas we've outlined below and watch the videos we've included to create the costume your friends will wish they had. Application Suggestions To create textures, apply Liquid Latex on top of regular household items such as corn flakes, cotton or tissues. Repeat a second application of the latex if necessary.
