Classy Draggy Lady

My plan for this was to create an over-the-top drag look, however I quickly had to take it in a different direction after i couldn't block out my eyebrows properly.

Having watched a couple of youtube videos on this, I thought I'd have a go. In other videos people have recommended soap or pritstick glue, allowing layers to set then covering in layers of concealer and powder. I didn't have prittstick or a bar of soap, so I decided to try scarwax (pictured), which was ok but it doesn't really set it just melts further. Then I tried spirit gum which didn't flatten my brows, just made them rigid and looked messy. 

Lost a few eyebrow hairs in the process but gained experiece in return which is what really matters.

So after my attempts failed, I decided to just try out some draggy makeup, with heavy contouring and black lipstick. These photos don't show up the sheer amount that was on my face at the time. I would have done it with a white foundation Sharon Needles style but my skin had already gone through enough for one day.

Latex & Sponge Nose

Following on from my previous post, I decided to explore the use of sponge & latex to add bulk.

I found it took a while for the sponge to become tacky enough to stick, and to be moulded. Once it did, it was quite effective, although perhaps not suitable for creating a smooth natural skin surface, particularly as the layers created a lot of bumps and ridges.

 I constructed the nose using about 20 thin layers of sponge, cut into different shapes according to where they were being placed, and moistened with latex. I added a couple of extra layers of latex on top to seal the  outer sponge holes. If I had constructed the nose a little more neatly I think the result could have been smoother but this would do for a monster or witchy-type look. I added a little colour using a liquid foundation but I'm sure I could find paint more suitable for latex - will look that up.

All in all, the best solution is probably to create pieces out of silicone set in a mould to make a precise and realistic shape. But as I do not have the materials or space, I will do what I can with my sponge dipped in latex!
