special fx halloween makeup?
for halloween i want to dress as the ghost of marie antoinette. i'd love to look dead and as if my head has been severed and then crudely stitched back on (possibly with "x" shaped stitches along the wound)
can anyone give me any suggestions of what sort of makeup techniques or supplies i should use? i need advice for dead-looking face makeup as well as the severed and sewn neck.
also, if you can suggest any websites or books with tutorials or detailed fx information it would be very helpful too.
thank you and happy halloween!
Couple ways to go. You can buy a pre-fabricated latex rubber appliance, glue it to your neck with spirit gum adhesive, blend to your neck with makeup, and enhance with fake blood.
You could use liquid latex and toilet tissue to create a layer of skin, rip it open and enhance with fake blood.
For your face makeup, pale would be the goal so any foundation that is white or paler than your skin tone. Eyes should be darkened above and below with either brown or a deep blue/purple.

What Are The Advantages Of Using Gadiva Hair Extensions?
Gadiva hair extensions use the popular micro ring method. Micro rings are a great way of getting the length and volume you desire without using time-consuming methods such as gluing which can be messy or complicated sewing techniques. Methods that involve glue can damage your own hair leaving it weak and brittle. Glue deposits can also be left on your hair after removal which can affect the health of your hair. Gadiva micro ring extensions are reusable and they cause no damage to your own hair.
Like all top quality hair extensions Gadiva use 100% Premium Quality Human Hair and the hair can be heat styled, coloured or highlighted like normal hair. They also are relatively quick to install, taking around an hour and a half to fit. The micro ring hair extensions are attached to the clients own hair by the micro rings, therefore there is no need for any harsh chemicals, heat or damaging glues.
One of the top advantages of using Gadiva micro ring hair extensions is that you do not need to re-purchase hair every 3-4 months as the hair is reusable, making them cost-effective and less hassle than other brands of hair extensions. Also the Gadiva pre-bonded tip means that the thickness of the hair stays the same throughout the lifespan of the extensions so the hair does not become thin or scraggly. Gadiva extensions can last up to 2 years if they are maintained in the correct way. They should also be checked every 3-4 months at a hair salon in order to maintain the high quality of the hair extensions.
The bonds are lightweight and flexible which ensures that they are comfortable to wear and unlike other methods they do not put any pressure on the roots of the existing hair. Gadiva extensions are also ideal for fine or short hair as the bonds can be placed close to the roots. This can be a godsend for people with these hair types as some hair extensions struggle to grip fine or short hair and can fall out or slip easily. The bonds are also very small so that they lie flat to the head. Because of this the extensions do not look bulky and appear as natural as possible.
Gadiva extensions fit in with your life; you are able to exercise, swim and style your hair in the same way that you would usually. They just enhance your beauty. As your hair grows your extensions will also grow and you will need to visit a salon every so often to get them re-fitted before they create any tension on your natural hair. At the same time your hairdresser will sort out any natural hair that has shed around the rings to avoid matting or tangling at the root. This is a process that needs to be carried out with most forms of hair extensions to maintain good condition.
If you think Gadiva hair extensions are for you then book a free consultation with Inanch to find out more information. You also will get 30% off the Gadiva hair extensions system if you book with our approved Graduate Stylist on a Monday. So do it today and reveal a beautiful new you!
