About SFX Accessories
Which spirit gum should you use?
Spirit gum attaches latex pieces and prosthetics, and you will need remover as well. Mehron Spirit Gum 4ml with Remover 30ml is a good starter pairing, while Heart Face Art SFX Spirit Gum & Remover Pack gives you both from our own brand, which earns double Paint Points. Apply thin layers to clean, dry skin and let each one go tacky before pressing a piece on.
Why use a stipple sponge for texture?
A stipple sponge dabs colour on in a broken, mottled pattern that looks far more like real skin than brushwork alone. It is the quickest route to convincing zombie, burn and bruise textures. Use light layers and build up slowly. Pair it with SFX palettes for realistic colour. Keep a few spare sponges in your kit, because stippling quickly clogs them with colour and a fresh one gives a cleaner texture.
How do you practise before the big night?
A practice head lets you test a design without a willing model, which is handy for students and working face painters planning a Halloween menu. Try the Practice Head - Flat Backed and rehearse your timing. When you are ready, browse the full Halloween range for blood, latex and more.
