If you do it beforehand, then you will need to put the tights on a pair of dummy legs (like the kind used in store window displays). Are you planning on applying the latex while you wear the tights? Latex soaks into the fabric and may take a while to dry so better to do this in advance. I think either do a test on a piece of spandex/Lycra to see the amount it stops stretch. I think the latex will restrict the fabric and make it difficult to remove the tights.and go to the bathroom too. You may be able to use alcohol to remove it ( careful around the eyes) or use latex as a glue so it peels off later more easily. Most oil based removers actually damage foam latex appliances, especially the ultra thins edge needed to get a flawless blend. You may be able to reuse the appliance, depending on what you used to apply it. If you water a little down, you should be able to create a gradual blend rather than a sudden hard edge which will be more obvious. Hi Randy You can use latex paint on the appliance if the appliance id latex or foam latex.

There's more like this, looking at other aspects of makeup effects and prosthetics on the Free Downloads page.

Just type in what you are looking for (old face, sunburn or freckles etc) and trawl away. Also, photo sharing sites such as flickr () are great. These are also great tools to refer back to when designing your makeup.

I also found some good books, like the National Geographic books and portrait collections.

I like to take clear photos of the subject prior to makeup, and also collect good images from magazines.

Once a foam appliance is on, it obliterates the skin colour underneath and it is easy to forget what was there. Get into the habit of collecting reference photos to get an idea of natural looking skin on various people and skin types. Reference is always a good thing, and it always pays to have good, varied images to keep your painting fresh and informed. For darker skin tones, I like to start with a little warm colour like Apricot and add appropriate shades like Umber and Sienna to avoid going too cold. It will look lighter than before because of the whiteness of the Pros Aide but because Pros Aide dries clear the colour will return to normal. Once you are happy with the colour, add 40-50% Pros Aide and mix well. For this makeup I started with Unbleached titanium (off white), adding reds, raw umber, yellow ochre and a little Olive. A little goes a long way so you do not need to mix gallons of paint! Half an egg cup will be plenty. It takes a while to confidently mix flesh tones, so have a play and try several attempts. You can tweak with washes and makeup later. You mix up the base colour of the subjects skin using the acrylic paints, getting as close as you can. Invented by Dick Smith, it has become an industry standard for painting foam appliances. The combination of Pros Aide and Liquitex led to the name PA-X, a durable and flexible paint which can be used on both skin and foam latex.
