I'm with everyone else here: It delivers. If you've never used liquid latex before-READ HERE!
I've used a few different brands of liquid latex now from miscellaneous Halloween stores, and this one is definitely my favorite for one reason: the brush! It allows you to be more conscientious when you're applying this on another person (like I have-to my BF and a 6-year-old). As for the product itself, I see no difference between brands.I did upload a couple photos, hopefully they help, all I had handy was my crappy camera phone.In every way, this stuff reminds me of basic white craft glue. It's the same consistency, it dries up on your hands and you have to peel it off or rub them together and it balls-up just like Elmer's Glue...the one difference is, it's much stronger, and allows you to "mess" with it after it dries. Then you're left with a fleshy-looking and fleshy-FEELING bit of gunk on your face (or wherever you're putting it). The biggest bit of advice I have (especially for guys) is to make sure your skin is clean & dry (no lotion) and DON'T put it on any hair if you don't have to. The easiest method for removal is PEELING it off, and it's tougher to remove than glue, so ...ouch!Now, we were just using it for basic zombie stuff and will be trick-or-treating in it...so no Hollywood effects or "Zipper-Face" stuff here. If you're getting all heavy, my advice probably won't help you (I have seen some You Tube videos that might however).All I do is put on a few SOLID coats (this small 16-oz bottle is PLENTY for a few faces, necks, etc. for at least 2 parties), in the desired area--allowing them to dry in between. THEN the magic happens when it's dry, or nearly dry. You'll be able to pull apart the "flesh" creating tears and holes and other yucky textures in the glue. Depending on the color you get (I've always had white) it will dry clear until you tear it. Then you'll have a gross-looking second skin, in the color of the latex. It will be springy and fleshy to the touch-not like glue at all.At this point you can put whatever you want over the top of it. For the pictures above, I'd used a white latex...after it dried I put my regular old foundation on top of it to make it flesh colored:(http://www.amazon.com/Tinted-Daily-Moisturizer-SPF-15/dp/B007PL7RK8/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1351577542&sr=8-6&keywords=skinnygirl+moisturizer)Then I (no kidding) used my regular-old eyeshadows to create the other colors. Mostly because It's what I had handy, and it worked for me...I've since found that a combination of other pancake or tube make-ups work great, but I recommend a powder make up for over-top of those if you have it-to set it up. Mehron also makes a barrier spray (http://www.amazon.com/Mehron-MR-54501-Barrier-Spray/dp/B000LNHFG8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1351578131&sr=8-1&keywords=mehron+barrier+spray) that is supposed to help "set" your make-up...but nothing sets up make-up like a powder finish. Just my opinion. I DID buy the barrier spray, and I'm not sure it did anything--I used it over several layers of powder. Maybe just extra insurance!Bottom line--you'll have to find what works for you, but this is a fine product to start with. Mehron is a line to trust, in my opinion.

Perfect for the job! 😎
The media could not be loaded. Got this to protect my Labubu’s face, hands, and feet for dyeing. Took a long time for the liquid latex for every layer (and then some) to dry but it was well worth the wait! ☺️ Definitely recommend lathering more layers (about 10 or more) to protect the vinyl.**Word of caution: liquid latex WILL get stuck on the fur and it’s a hassle to get it off (even with coconut oil and a thin comb)**

100% recommend
Amazing and as a film artist in film school I recommend! Warning! It smells like cat litter no joke, it’s not pleasant but it works like a bloody charm so if your looking for this for like a costume or film set shoot, get it, I used it the old 2000s way and used toilet paper and this stuff holds really well

Easy Even For Beginner
The media could not be loaded. This liquid latex is really easy to use, it spreads on thin and dries fairly quickly so you can build layers up within a reasonable timeframe. I bought it to blend some elf ears in to my own ears and it worked really well. I also found it was very easy to paint/pigment.The cap contains a little brush which is handy. I found that while it applied thinly, it wasn't runny if that makes sense. You could get a nice, even, light coat. I applied multiple thin coats and let it dry, then added a few more thin coats to create the blending to my ears. I let it dry for maybe 5 minutes in between.Removal is very easy and I included a video of me peeping off the ears. They were secured with spirit gum, also by Mehron, so that was the part that took a bit longer to break loose. The silicone came free easily. I am fairly new to using products like this and would have liked a slightly thicker version since I needed to build up a bit, but all said this was perfect.

It's what you need for that "next level" look.
I used this to make a "zipper face" for Halloween. Please see photo attached although it's a bit gruesome so please use your judgement!I found a youtube video that told me how to do this and I also purchased some fake blood and foundation make up to help complete the look. The product is easy to use, has a brush inside the cap ( which I didn't use as it was too small for painting the side of my face). One thing about brushes, use a cheap one that you don't want to keep - cleanup is tough for the brush but surprisingly easy for everything else. It just peels off. I guess the bristles are too fine for it to peel off easily so I discarded mine afterwards.After panting it on my face, it dried to a rubber like consistency in only 10 minutes. I layered this on top of itself about 4 times in order to obtain a thick enough "skin" to be able to pull it off the side of my face and have it look and feel like skin. This is a most excellent product for obtaining scarily good effects. For under $40, I was able to create this look and have plenty left over for another few years at least. Oh, and no allergies for me. It peeled off my face after wearing it for around 7 hours and left no red marks, spots, irritations of any kind. The color of the shower water was pretty gross though!

Very gloopy
This has a very thick consistency which makes it hard to work with. I got it to try to cover a nostril piercing so I could put makeup on it and hide it. It does work OK, but the thickness makes it lumpy and it's hard to feather out the edges. It's not as discreet as one would like. If you're trying to go for effect makeup, like a scar or zombie face or something, it would work for that. Smooth to lumpy is ok, but not so much lumpy to smooth.It starts out very light beige and turns a bit darker and yellower as it dries. It's by no means my (or most people's) skin tone, so I think you'd have to put makeup on top no matter what. It does dry quickly, and is flexible and easy to remove.
