Halloween night calls for a wound that makes your friends wince, and this makeup putty from Mehron gets you there. A zombie bite, a pirate’s old scar or a fresh slash for a horror party: it gives your special effects makeup real dimension.

Light scar wax that blends in

The soft wax formula shapes easily with your fingertips. Press it onto your skin and build up a raised scar. Reach for a spatula to carve cuts and smooth the edges until they fade into your skin. The light skin shade is the one to pick if your complexion is on the fair side. It is cruelty free and vegan, and it washes off with soap and water when the party ends.

Layer it for a gorier finish

Brush on spirit gum before you sculpt. Then add light flesh liquid latex or clear liquid latex for peeling skin. Grab your makeup putty and start sculpting!
