Step 1: Materials

1. liquid latex
2. bruise wheel or one of those package deals with a couple colors.
3. toilet paper (1ply)
4? creepy music to get you in the mood >:]

Step 2: Step 1

dab latex lightly over selected area. you dont want to put to much or else it might clump. this is just a thin layer so the toilet paper sticks to the skin. its up to you to decide how much of an area your going to work on.

Step 3: Step 2

now before the latex drys youll want to put a sheet of toilet paper over it. for a more realistic effect tear the edges off. gently dab the toilet paper on top of the latex. dont worry about the toilet paper wrinkling a bit it sometimes actually looks better that way. repeat step 1and 2 if you plan on making a gaping wound.

hints:

[latex over the eye]
only dab latex around the eye ie (above eyebrow, cheek, temple, side of nose). before it drys put 2 sheets of toilet paper over it so that only the edges of the paper are stuck down. this prevents the latex getting in your eye. after it drys off gently dab on some latex over my eye with a sponge or some sort of makeup applier. the 2 plys of paper should keep the latex from seeping through. just be careful.  if your kind of weird about having one eye closed for a long period of time be careful and poke a hole through the latex.  small enough to where you can see.  put some black makeup on your finger and gently dab around your eyelid to keep the illusuion that you have no eyeball.

[torn mouth effect]
follow the instructions up top but cover your whole mouth. once it drys just open your mouth. its that easy.

Step 4: Step 3

once the latex is dry you can go to town with your makeup. its really all up to you on how disgustingly gorey you want to look. if your making a wound youll need some fake blood from the costume shop or a batch you made yourself. i say more blood the better. now go out and eat brains!
