Choose masks, prosthetics, adhesives, pigments, fake blood, removers, wear time, and cleanup as one seasonal system.
Quick answer
Use products with clear ingredient, area, age, and removal instructions. Keep unidentified adhesives, pigments, glitter, latex, and solvents away from skin, eyes, and airways.
Patch-test only as directed, then rehearse layers, drying time, costume overlap, vision, breathing, eating, sweat, touch-ups, and fast removal before event day.
The correct remover, clean tools, ventilation, towels, skin cleanup, disposal, and post-event storage are part of the purchase. Never pull off a prosthetic or improvise with household solvent.
