Roger Bennett Riggle: Now we are going to switch to a process that I have not shown you earlier, using liquid latex and how to create some texture with liquid latex for your Halloween costume makeup. Now we can use the liquid latex right over the molding wax.

It gives the molding wax almost a skin like texture. So we pour the liquid latex into the pellet and we take a non latex sponge, triangle and again we are going to the stippling technique. So we dip into the latex and we pat, pat and we stipple.

Now what I am going to do is to stretch her skin like this, I want to stretch the skin up and away from the wound. And then I am going to create some liquid latex plashes in here and I am going to coat the whole molding wax with the liquid latex like I said it gives the skin like texture.

Don't forget that the liquid latex also gives it another kind of adhesive quality. So, that is where we are putting liquid latex from the molding wax onto the skin. And this will give us extra texture.

Now what I am going to ask Vanessa to do at this point is to hold her skin up like this, up on that side. Now I am going to get the other side; we use the new corner of this sponge. I need to lift up this side and lift up that side and hold it tight again. We are going down from the eyes, kind of in a downward motion along there, just to get some texture going in there.

Again I am going to coat the molding wax with the liquid latex. Can use the pellet, knife, uh! sticky, sticky and a little down on to the chin; good. Okay what we are going to do is let that dry for about two minutes and then when we come back we will apply the color to our art work for our joker Halloween costume.
