How to make sfx of crystals embedded in skin?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hello! I would like to do a Halloween look in which I put some crystals (those in the picture) on my forehead, as if they were sticking out from my skin. How would you recommend to do that? I know nothing about sfx and I would have to buy everything. I had thought about just making some bumps with scar wax and sticking the crystals in but that probably wouldn't work. I would also be down to just using some fake resin crystals that would be easier because more light-weighted.

DIY Scar Wax Looks NSFW

Today I decided that I was bored of the luxury of Synwax and spent hours battling flour and vaseline instead. HOW DO YOU GUYS DO IT??? The hand was my first attempt at using the diy wax and I am not a huge fan. Everything it touches removes it. At first it was blending nicely and I created some gnarly textures but then when I sealed it and added color it started to eat itself alive. I tried taking advantage of the weaknesses by creating a burn-like wound (was just fucking around and seeing what I can do) and it looks okay but again, falls off if I breathe too close to it. Anyone have tips or tricks for taming the diy wax? Or should I settle for premade scar/synwax?

Gelatin as a prosthetic for a 5 to 6 hour outdoor zombie event?

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I volunteered to be a zombie for 3 am to 6 am event and we're supposed to make our own costumes. I'd just like to ask if a gelatin based prosthetic (my concept is like a melty, radioactive zombie lol) on the face and upper torso can hold decently enough? Or is it likely to fall off at some point? Our call time is around 1 am, so I'll essentially be wearing it from 1 to 6 am. Would really appreciate some insights on this, im very much new to prosthetics :> Thank you!
