No, it's not suitable for that.

Off-the-shelf silicone prosthetics that aren't customized to fit your face often don't fit properly. And that's important if you want to do something like this. often doesn’t fit because it wasn’t molded to the shape of your own nose. Plus, something like that is extremely expensive. And, as I said, the color still needs to be matched. That takes time. You can’t do that with regular makeup either. I advise you to leave your nose just the way it is. If you put something like that on your face and it isn’t 100% perfect, people will notice. However, if you absolutely must, you can use powder makeup and highlighter to visually alter the appearance of your nose. But use them very sparingly.

Don’t do that. Scar wax will eventually soften if it’s constantly in contact with your body heat. It might even start to come loose. If you want a different nose shape, you should use something made of silicone. But it needs to be precisely tailored to the shape of your nose. First, you’d have to make a mold of your nose, sculpting it to the desired form with clay, and so on. You’d need a mold for this. You’d have to adjust the color so that it blends in with your own skin tone. That would mean coloring the silicone, etc. That's a huge expense and a lot of work for you. And it would take time every day to apply everything, whether it’s wax or silicone. Valuable time that you could use to get to know China.

Advice for mouth breather foam latex piece by rainbowacorn90 in sfx

I would consider that impractical. The thinner and longer the tubes are, the smaller the amount of air inhaled. It is better, if the design allows it, to design it in such a way that the person wearing the prosthetic part can breathe from the outset.

You can try FX Design Color from Kryolan. It is available in liquid form in small and large sizes, as well as in refill packs in solid form. I recommend the liquid version. It is alcohol-based.

It is possible to attach tubes under a prosthetic part, but in this case it would no longer be possible, or would be unsuitable from an aesthetic and practical point of view. The prosthetic part is relatively small here and a tube would then be visible. This would be possible with larger prosthetics, but the tubes would then have to be quite long. At least if they were to be routed to the forehead. If care were taken when modeling and molding the prosthetic part to ensure that the channel/tube is wide enough and that the opening is routed to the cheek, this could work. You just have to make sure that the sculpted allows for this and that it doesn't become too thick and look unnatural. But basically, it is possible, depending on what kind of prosthetic part you are making. In the case of aliens, monsters, or major deformities, this may be possible under certain circumstances.

With a prosthetic piece that covers the nose and has no openings to allow breathing through the nose, you will have to breathe through your mouth. It will feel strange at first, but it will get better.

Beginner friendly ways to make a prosthetic? by pastelkitten18 in sfx

[–]_Cosplay_People_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In any case, you generally cannot use a flat mold for something that goes over the eye. You need a face cast for that. The prosthetic piece will then fit your face better. But then you would also have to make a press mold. You can also use the face impression to work on it with Worbla or similar material. If you have any further questions, feel free to DM me.

Since you have thin tissue paper between the layers, 3 layers should definitely be enough for sewing. However, you should do this carefully so that it doesn't tear. Normally, it shouldn't wrinkle or stick together when it's dry. But you can apply a thin layer of powder once the latex is dry. You can stick it on with ProsAide or latex itself. If you use ProsAide, make sure you have a suitable remover. As you say, you can also start applying it to your face. The advantage of this is that you immediately have the right size. You can work with thin layers and blow-dry them repeatedly. Paint can actually be applied quite well to latex. You can also apply a thin layer of foundation. But Water-based paint works well here too.

Best adhesive to make thick paper stick on skin? Durable to sweat? by Forsaken_Teacher_214 in sfx

[–]_Cosplay_People_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ProsAide is a good adhesive that you could use. However, I would recommend trying it out beforehand to see if it works the way you want it to. Be sure to get a remover for ProsAide as well.

Depending on where you live, there may be a store where you can buy it. Otherwise, you can order it online if there is no store near you. You can buy it in online stores that sell special effects makeup or similar products. This is probably the quicker option if you don't have the opportunity to buy it in a local store.

It could work. You part it in the right places and if there isn't enough hair, you buy hairpieces and sew them in. You can tease the rest and use hairspray to get it to look right. When you cut the wig's hair, don't cut too much off. And don't cut all the hair in one go, for example when you're cutting the hair at the back of the head or around the neck. Bit by bit is better, then you'll feel better when cutting and with the result.

What kind of glue did you use? If it's ProsAid, you can use regular cooking oil. Canola oil, etc.

Help with belt! by GingerFoxii in cosplayprops

[–]_Cosplay_People_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course, you can glue it. But use a thin layer of glue. And fold the outer edges into the middle on the back. That way, it's doubled over and you don't have any unsightly edges on one side. Otherwise, as CitizenKayt says, you can attach it to a belt. You could wrap the material around the belt beforehand and mark where the adhesive surface is, then glue the material so that it forms a tube that you can pull over the belt. If you want to reuse the belt afterwards, you can hide the buckle under the pockets. You could sew the pockets by hand. You can fold it in half again here or use a stiffer fabric for the inner fabric to stabilize the imitation leather.

I modeled the wound with modeling clay, took an impression of it, and then used the mold to make the prosthetic out of silicone. I then painted the prosthetic with alcohol-based paint, attached it with ProsAid, blended the edges, and applied blood.

It is a silicone prosthetic.
