Supplies:

• Reel FX Dark Lord, Horror Makeup Kit
• Hand sanitizer, toner or face cleanser
• No-color or translucent face powder
• Liquid latex
• Powder brush
• Thin paint brushes
• Cotton
• Baby oil
• Hair dryer
• Food coloring

Step 1:

Clean hands and make sure skin area is clean using toner.

Step 2:

Align and cut your latex mask from your kit to fit your model's face, making sure the eye area is clear.  The kit is recommended for a full size adult but if the appliance is still too big, fill all hollow areas, such as horns, brows and cheekbones with cotton.

Step 3:

Pre-color your mask using colors from your kit.  Use brushes and sponges to apply the color and use baby oil to help blend and move the makeup color.  To recess any part of the mask, use dark colors.

Step 4:

Pre-blackout the eyes and mouth of your model.

Step 5:

Lightly coat the bridge of the nose of both your mask and your model with spirit gum. (Spirit gum is a contact adhesive.  For best usage, let it get tacky on both sides before placing parts together.  Apply pressure for 30 seconds.)

Step 6:

Work from the inner to the outer edges of your mask, one section at a time with the spirit gum.  Move up to the forehead, then under and around the eyes.  (Never use adhesive too close to the eyes.)  Then move to the sides.

Step 7:

Take a sponge and dip it into the liquid latex and carefully blot (stipple) over a thin layer to blend and seal the outer edges of your mask.  Let it dry and then powder it.  (Use a hair dryer to speed up drying time.)

Step 8:

Have some blood pour from the mouth.  You can also add fangs to create a more ghoulish look.

Step 9:

Place teeth supplied from your kit into a mixture of  green and red food dye to grunge up the teeth.  (Only the fangs were cut out and used in this case.)

Step 10:

Add a little blood from your kit where you like and you're good to go.  (Cloak sold seperately from the Reel FX Dark Lord, Horror Makeup Kit.)

Removal:

Gently use any oily makeup remover and slowly peel back and use a q-tip to put the makeup remover under the mask.  Wash with soap and warm water.
