How to use Ben Nye Latex
To use Ben Nye Latex, start by cleaning and drying the skin. Apply a thin layer using a sponge or brush and let it dry until clear (about 1–2 minutes). For special effects, you can build layers with tissue or cotton for wounds or texture. Once dry, blend edges and color with cream makeup or paint, then set with powder if needed. To remove, gently peel off and clean the area with soap and water or makeup remover. Always do a patch test first, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Pro Tips & Warnings:
- Do a patch test 24 hours in advance if you have sensitive skin.
- Avoid using around the eyes or mouth unless it’s a product labeled safe for those areas.
- Always apply in a well-ventilated area—liquid latex has a strong smell, especially the standard formula.
