    I ran out of liquid latex and really wanted to try this so I used pva glue. It dried clear so I had to paint it but they turned out great!

    • @reaverkai
      @reaverkai Před 4 lety +7

      I'm so glad you commented this! I don't have latex and buying some would be a waste just for making these, but I have pva glue so :D

  • @moonireads
    @moonireads Před 9 lety +151

    I live in South America and finding prosthetics to buy is both super hard and EXTREMLY expensive... Thanks to your videos I have been able to make a lot of things on my own and have saved TONS of money. Thank you so much! ♥

      @ireymm Před 9 lety +2

      I also live in South America but i live in Venezuela and we cant find ANYTHING here and i was SO looking foward to this tutorial but we dont have any of those things here... and if someone is selling them they can be too much expensive cause it cant be found anywhere else.. :/ still thought i'd do it if i had the materials..

    • @moonireads
      @moonireads Před 9 lety

      Neni mujica Oh I'm in Caracas ;) I found liquid latex and it IS expensive but I found it. Not saying we can find EVERYTHIGN but that her tutorials have helped me a great deal to make some cosplay pieces. If you are near me I can let you borrow some liquid latex or something ;) Saludos!

    • @ireymm
      @ireymm Před 9 lety

      O.o i live at the west of Caracas is fun to talk to someone from my own country in english.. she's helped me a lot too with cosplaying and makeup and where did you find it? i know it is really expensive. Gracias :D

    • @PollyLWorld
      @PollyLWorld Před 9 lety +2

      Hey! :) i am also from south america and i find that instead of using liquid latex, you can try using fake eyelash glue :) i have used it for a few props, and though its not the same it can work well :) (cheaper than the real thing at least)

  • @emilyaquino7003
    @emilyaquino7003 Před 9 lety +63

    Tip: be sure not to get any liquid latex/prosthetic adhesive on your baby hairs because taking off the prosthetic later will be a huge pain, however if you know for certain you are getting latex on your eyebrows, lashes or anything like that, you could apply vaseline to the hair so it wont stick. (:

    • @jaxrabbit9476
      @jaxrabbit9476 Před 5 lety +1

      Emily Aquino I know this is four years late but you can glue the hairs down with a glue stick before and it won’t stick as much but if you get it in your hair any oil based product will take it out when you soak it

    • @arratata_9932
      @arratata_9932 Před 4 lety +1

      Naw just rip it off the pains *delicious*

    • @powerwolf7642
      @powerwolf7642 Před 2 lety +1

      I got latex on my eyebrows once and used Dawn Dish soap and a Lil water on a cloth to get it off, that's another way to get it off.

      it is just an American tradition, here in Germany, it is just not celebrated, though there are other German traditions you don't celebrate, too :D all the monster makeup tutorials are really fun to do, but sadly, there's not really an opportunity to go for it :D

    • @stephaniesmith3544
      @stephaniesmith3544 Před 9 lety +21

    @RandoriHyuuga Před 7 lety

    Thanks a lot for this video! After a bit of trial and error these worked out perfectly for me! I'd recommend spirit gum as adhesive if you plan on reusing the prothstetics. Plus it gives a really strong bond to your skin so they'll stay put all day

      @melanie-rosannastevens7861 Před 6 lety +7

      As this is a pretty amateur way of making ears, yes, there definitely are other ways to do this. The easiest one would be to cast your ear in alginate, fill it with plaster of Paris, take some non-drying sculpting clay such as plastilin, sculpt the longer ear and apply a few coats of liquid latex.
      If you wanna get more realism than what is achievable with latex, look into mold making and silicone prosthetics
