How to Make Fake Wrinkled Skin
Making your own fake wrinkled skin like you see in the movies is a simple project compared to other high budget prosthetics and effects. Liquid latex is used for many different projects when it comes to special effect makeup; when dried, it looks and feels like real skin. Simply allowing some liquid latex to dry on your skin will cause the skin to severely wrinkle. This is because the latex starts to shrink as it loses moisture in the drying process.
