Using Silicone-based pastes to create quick makeup FX

Step 2Mixing it up

Mixing it up
Sculpt Gel comes with three components-clearly marked as parts A, B and C. Parts A and B are the two silicone components which need to be mixed together thoroughly to cure. They have been pigmented two different flesh tones to avoid confusion as to which is which. Part C is purely a softener, and is clear.

Using a clean spatula or wooden tool for each material to avoid cross-contamination, scoop out equal sized blobs of parts A and B onto a clean surface.

You can mix these two parts together and use it as is, or add some part C to soften the mixture further. That is basically it. A palette or a ceramic tile is good to mix on, as these can easily be cleaned and reused using a little alcohol on a cotton wool pad or tissue. Now, let's take a look at how this material is used in a makeup.

(To the maker of this 'ible, great job, I'd try this out if only I can find sculpt gel-retailer somewhere in Europe.)
