I'm with everyone else here: It delivers. If you've never used liquid latex before-READ HERE!
I've used a few different brands of liquid latex now from miscellaneous Halloween stores, and this one is definitely my favorite for one reason: the brush! It allows you to be more conscientious when you're applying this on another person (like I have-to my BF and a 6-year-old). As for the product itself, I see no difference between brands.I did upload a couple photos, hopefully they help, all I had handy was my crappy camera phone.In every way, this stuff reminds me of basic white craft glue. It's the same consistency, it dries up on your hands and you have to peel it off or rub them together and it balls-up just like Elmer's Glue...the one difference is, it's much stronger, and allows you to "mess" with it after it dries. Then you're left with a fleshy-looking and fleshy-FEELING bit of gunk on your face (or wherever you're putting it). The biggest bit of advice I have (especially for guys) is to make sure your skin is clean & dry (no lotion) and DON'T put it on any hair if you don't have to. The easiest method for removal is PEELING it off, and it's tougher to remove than glue, so ...ouch!Now, we were just using it for basic zombie stuff and will be trick-or-treating in it...so no Hollywood effects or "Zipper-Face" stuff here. If you're getting all heavy, my advice probably won't help you (I have seen some You Tube videos that might however).All I do is put on a few SOLID coats (this small 16-oz bottle is PLENTY for a few faces, necks, etc. for at least 2 parties), in the desired area--allowing them to dry in between. THEN the magic happens when it's dry, or nearly dry. You'll be able to pull apart the "flesh" creating tears and holes and other yucky textures in the glue. Depending on the color you get (I've always had white) it will dry clear until you tear it. Then you'll have a gross-looking second skin, in the color of the latex. It will be springy and fleshy to the touch-not like glue at all.At this point you can put whatever you want over the top of it. For the pictures above, I'd used a white latex...after it dried I put my regular old foundation on top of it to make it flesh colored:(http://www.amazon.com/Tinted-Daily-Moisturizer-SPF-15/dp/B007PL7RK8/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1351577542&sr=8-6&keywords=skinnygirl+moisturizer)Then I (no kidding) used my regular-old eyeshadows to create the other colors. Mostly because It's what I had handy, and it worked for me...I've since found that a combination of other pancake or tube make-ups work great, but I recommend a powder make up for over-top of those if you have it-to set it up. Mehron also makes a barrier spray (http://www.amazon.com/Mehron-MR-54501-Barrier-Spray/dp/B000LNHFG8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1351578131&sr=8-1&keywords=mehron+barrier+spray) that is supposed to help "set" your make-up...but nothing sets up make-up like a powder finish. Just my opinion. I DID buy the barrier spray, and I'm not sure it did anything--I used it over several layers of powder. Maybe just extra insurance!Bottom line--you'll have to find what works for you, but this is a fine product to start with. Mehron is a line to trust, in my opinion.

Great quality
Product worked great for a Halloween costume, was afraid it would be difficult to take off afterwards, and it came right off clean, no mess, dries quickly and looks great!!!

Used for Halloween Costume
This stuff worked extremely well for Halloween costume, but the smell is horrible. I know that's just a price you have to pay when using liquid latex, but if you're sensitive to smells, it might be an issue. We mixed this with latex paint in order to paint over a halloween mask and needed the liquid latex to keep the paint pliable/from cracking when dried. Worked like a charm and the smell subsides when dry (for the most part).

Works nicely!
I have minimal experience with SFX makeup, but this product was very easy to apply, and it securely held up the prosthetics for my costume! I only have the minor issue that it dried significantly darker after application. I am still happy with my purchase! Definitely worth the money!

Dried really well
I used this for Halloween to recreate millinas mouth from mortal combat, great profuct, it’s a peachy kind of tone when dried but foundation will help, also helped stick fake clay teeth to my skin.

Easy Even For Beginner
The media could not be loaded. This liquid latex is really easy to use, it spreads on thin and dries fairly quickly so you can build layers up within a reasonable timeframe. I bought it to blend some elf ears in to my own ears and it worked really well. I also found it was very easy to paint/pigment.The cap contains a little brush which is handy. I found that while it applied thinly, it wasn't runny if that makes sense. You could get a nice, even, light coat. I applied multiple thin coats and let it dry, then added a few more thin coats to create the blending to my ears. I let it dry for maybe 5 minutes in between.Removal is very easy and I included a video of me peeping off the ears. They were secured with spirit gum, also by Mehron, so that was the part that took a bit longer to break loose. The silicone came free easily. I am fairly new to using products like this and would have liked a slightly thicker version since I needed to build up a bit, but all said this was perfect.

Fumes, strong smell and no flexibility
This liquid latex did the job at the price point BUT holy cow it has a very strong smell or off gas that made my eyes water. Also important to note that this latex dried hard with no rubbery flexibility. So is it will detach from your skin if you use it in an area with lots of movement (I used it around my mouth and had some separation). If you need rubbery texture, this ain’t it!
