How do you apply the Lip Rot? (step-by-step)

1. Prepare - Make sure the skin is clean, dry and free of oil or make-up. Preferably hair-free. Have a pair of scissors, a damp sponge or cloth and lukewarm water ready.
2. Activate the transfer - Remove the card from the packaging. Gently peel the transparent effect sheet away from the paper backing and lay the sheet FX-side down back onto the sticky transfer paper. This keeps the prosthetic firmly in shape. Smooth out any air bubbles.
3. Cut out - Carefully cut out the transfer without cutting into the edge of the prosthetic.
4. Expose the adhesive side - Remove the transparent top layer so the adhesive side is visible.
5. Place - Position the transfer on the lips or corner of the mouth and press firmly. Do not shift it once it is in place.
6. Transfer with water - Thoroughly wet the paper backing with your sponge or cloth. Wait approximately 30 seconds until the paper becomes translucent.
7. Remove the backer - Gently slide or peel the paper away. Pat dry and press the edges down again for a seamless blend.
8. Finish - Blend with make-up and a little fake blood for extra depth and a convincing result.

Removal

1. Remove make-up and blood residue with warm water and a cloth.
2. Lift an edge and gently roll the transfer away from the skin. Remove any remaining adhesive with Mouldlife Life-Wipes or Remove-it All by Ben Nye. Rinse the skin with water afterwards.

Common mistakes (and how to avoid them)

• Not using enough water - make sure the paper is fully soaked and becomes translucent before you remove it.
• Moving the transfer after placement - press down firmly straight away and do not shift it after that.
• Using too much fake blood - a subtle amount in the right place gives a more realistic result than covering everything.
