Here is the final look! There is a video tutorial attached to this post, thank you for watching.
Start off this makeup by applying a bald cap. Put your hair into a pony tail, for short hair, brush it back, use a small amount of gell and slick it down.
Blend the sides of your bald cap. For this makeup I used a plastic bald cap and dissolved the edges with acetone. Latex bald caps you would blend the edges with more latex and brush over with setting powder.
Painting the bald cap. We are going to use PAX to cover the bald cap. PAX is a 50/50 mix of pro adhesive and acrylic paint.
Now let's stick down our brain, this is a latex brain that I made from a mold, put pro adhesive inside and stuck down.
Blend the sides of your fake brain. I used Narrative Cosmetics Silicone Modeling Compound for this, but you could used scarwax or latex and cotton.
After the silicone has set use cosmetics around the edges. I used alcohol based cosmetics. Put black around the inner edges and white on the outside.
Now for fake blood, use a stippling sponge to apply fake blood around the edges, drip some fake blood as well!
The last steps, finish up your makeup, splatter some fake blood, and get dressed.
