Basic kit special effects

*Modeling wax, a hard wax that become soft with the warmth of the hands, perfect to create flesh effect, volume, part of the face that have been cut etc.

*Liquid latex, some kind of liquid plastic that will dry out and will look like skin, perfect to create double layer of flesh and if we add toilet paper will get more texture and thickness and also can be use to blue things.

*Fake blood, is a product that can be buy and also can be made, here you have the video tutorial of how to make it, and cause the composition it can be drop on the mouth without problem but the skin will stain the skin for a few hours and also the clothes.

*Rigid Collodion, a chemical that create a scar effect on the skin, creating the shrink effect where ever you put the product one, and it will get more deep layering up.

*Mastix or spirit gum, a glue to use on bold caps, hairpieces or even to flat out the eyebrows to cover them afterwards.

*Teeth laquer, a product to stain the teeth, to create a homeless zombie etc effect. This is not a basic but you will add it with time.

*Cream colors, to give color to the effects, I really like the cream texture cause it can be blend but it has a high pigmentation.

*Aqua colors, other color products but they need a bit of water to work, they have less pigmentation and are perfect for body painting.

*Spatula, a tool to model the wax from the container and also to flat out the borders of the wax on the skin.

*Mixing palette, a flat palette to mixed product on it, or to use it as a holder of products for much easier reach.

*Sponges, a different types of sponges, to get different types of finishes and textures, like bruises etc, and also a special one to apply latex.

This is a kit that you will grow step by step with time to create a great special effect kit.

    Hola Silvia. Para pintar heridas, sangre, etc… que es mejor? Los supracolores o los aquacolores? (estoy mirando Kryolan). Me recomiendas alguna página/marca más económica y de calidad? Gracias, y enhorabuena por tu trabajo.
