LARPAX EXTREME COLOR SYSTEM FOR PROFESSIONALS

This material has been used by the Film industry Professionals for over three decades with no reports of injury with the proper use. Read and understand the instructions. This information is provided in good faith, and each individual should proceed with caution and care involving any kind of makeup application at their own risk. Extreme conditions are defined as having to be physical, and also portray a character; and not for the duration of the “shot”. The whole intention of Roleplay is to find a freedom in your character. This freedom is so hard to achieve when you have to fret and compromise in order to  "preserve" your look. For extended use and rough play. Not intended for use near the eyes. Today’s adhesives are very strong and may be removed with Extreme Remover and soaked for a few minutes before the bond is dissolved enough to release.

Larpax Mask Repair Colors will cover all those inevitable rubs and will neatly patch up and match up after a scrape. These are the same colors used on the masks and contain adhesive, so the area must be powdered after drying.  Fix up scrapes and rubs. Use the light brown to match the shadow areas by making a thin wash and sponging or brushing it on.

Materials needed for LARPAX application.

-White Sponges, Brushes, Wax paper to mix on, Blowdryer, Powder

" I like to finish the eye makeup and lip before I apply the mask. LARPAX is not made for use around the eyes and I certainly would not use it unless Barrier cream was first applied. Once you establish just where the mask area is, it is much easier to do the makeup without the appliance in the way. I have also taken to finishing off the makeup and leaving the appliance on the shell until the very beginning of the event. Then, using a mirror, carefully pressing it in place. This can keep you fresh if you have to wait or drive a bit to get to where you are going."

Extreme Lip Procedure
Stretch your bottom lip across your teeth and paint in the lip line. Keep that lip stretched so the mixture gets in all the little cracks and valleys. Wait until this is completely dry, and keep that lip stretched. You can speed this up with a blowdryer. Before you release your lip, rub powder into the painted area. Make sure you get into the corners of your mouth because that sticky feeling is distractingly uncomfortable. Let your lip go and blot with wet towel.

Extreme Chin and Neck Procedure

Stretch your bottom lip and chin by tilting your head back and pulling your bottom lip into your mouth. With a small white sponge to blot or a paint brush and keeping your chin in the stretched-out position, color in the area .The same with your neck. Crane your head back and stretch the neck until it is taught. Work the sponge down only where the white strip will be. If you are by yourself, you fish around for the blow dryer and do not leave that position until you powder or your skin will stick together and remain uncomfortable until your removal. If you don't use a blow dryer, you are in for an uncomfortably long wait in that position. After the area has dried, powder liberally and finally relax your face and neck. Move around and make sure there is no part sticking to itself and brush off excess powder. Using a moist paper towel, gently blot off. You can also make a mixture to match the other areas of the mask depending on your personal requirements.

You now have a tough and durable layer that will stand extreme conditions. This will not wash off or rub off on a costume. The above procedure can be done before you apply the mask to make the whole process a lot easier.

LARPAX REMOVAL: This will not wash off with soap and water. Soak a paper towel or Baby Wipes with Extreme Remover and lay it over the area and let it sit there for 2 (real) minutes. More waiting just makes it easier. The remover will turn the larpax into a goo, but hasn't really dissolved it. Begin to gently rub and wipe away. Resist the urge to scrape with your fingers or your skin will pay. Use more towels and remover and when all those rubber cement type globs are gone, wash with soap and water and immediately apply a nice cream and treat your skin to a cooling application of Aloe Vera or some similar luxury.
