I wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the non-pred costumes, since this won't be for a pred costume but this is about materials.
Anyway, this would be for a face piece around the mouth (and maybe a nose prosthetic) for Mileena from Mortal Kombat. I'm probably going to try to make a halfway open mouth with the blank space covered with some kind of stretchy, breathable black mesh. I'm just stumped on the material. I've worked with the mask making latex from monster makers but I'm wondering if there is a better option (Silicone, cold foam?)
I'm looking for the best material based on ease of use (I don't have an oven that I can use specifically for these things. I need a measure, mix and go kind of material.) and of course, the final look and blendability of it (How will edge seams can be covered up and how well it'll take to paint and makeup) Also, I have somewhat sensitive skin but I have been able to put spirit gum and liquid latex on my skin before without a reaction.
I'm sure everyone has their own opinion on which is "best". Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
