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.

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!

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!!!

Buy the big bottle, you won't regret it!
Easy to use, even for a beginner to spfx makeup. I bought to create a specific look for a costume I had made, but I've used it a lot since to practice all of the different effects you can create with latex. It does have an odor to it, as all latex will, but it's not unbearable. The color is a little dark on me, but most people aren't quite as fair as I am so I imagine this is probably close to a "nude" color on a lot of people. I would've gone with a lighter shade, but the same sized bottle in this beige color was a full $12 cheaper than in white, and since I'm covering everything with makeup anyway it didn't seem worth the extra cost to have a closer match. The consistency is fantastic! It stays liquid long enough to manipulate it where you need it, but dries quickly enough that it won't take you all day to create a few basic effects. And it doesn't start to fall off halfway through your day like some other brands I've tried. I've even re-used appliances I created with it with great success.This brand is pricey, but you absolutely get what you pay for when it comes to spfx makeup. I've used the cheap stuff before with pretty disastrous results. This made such a huge difference! I had always assumed I was just bad at makeup before. But after just 1 year of practicing with "the good stuff", I've progressed SO much farther than all my years of occasional dabbling with cheap junk supplies from Walmart. Good supplies really do make all the difference. This stuff is worth every penny! I'll never buy the generic crap again.

8/10 for functionality, 6/10 for appearance
This latex is pretty thick which is something you want to look for in a higher-qualiry latex. It dried fairly quick, but not too quick, and it had good tensile strength as well. I will say, the actual flesh tone once it dries is a little...upsetting. When it dries, it still has that kinda old, oxidized latex look and not a tone reminiscent of actual skin. However, I will say, if you are using this for a haunt or at night it will probably be fine and save you the hassle of having to paint it so long as you're close to its tone it dries to. With that being said, the lack of skin tones with varying undertones is a little sad, especially in a day and age where cosmetic companies can easily get their hands on proper pigments.

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.
