Here are step-by-step instructions on how you can recreate this look on your own. Have fun!

Earlier you Start:
Gather your Supplies
We used:
-HM Smallwares bald cap
-Mehron Spirit Gum
-Mehron Liquid Latex (in your desired skin-tone colour)
-Mehron Brush Sealer
-Mehron Stipple Sponge
-Mehron Barrier Spray
-Mehron CreamBlend™ Stick in Natural Biscuit Blush (yous'll want to apply the colour that most closely matches your skin tone)
-Mehron CreamBlend™ Stick in Ebony (optional - nosotros used this to add some stubble at the end. You'll want to use the color that nearly closely matches your hair colour)
-Pilus Gel
-Assorted makeup brushes
-Pen or marker
-Pair of scissors

Footstep 1:
Exist sure to start with clean skin and pilus. Know that bald caps work all-time if y'all take short hair and curt sideburns, which volition brand it much easier to blend in the edges of the cap.

Utilize the hair gel to slick back your pilus.

If your sideburns are too long, trim them as close as possible, and so work some Spirit Gum into your hair and flatten down the sideburns with a damp cloth. If your hair is too long, try to braid it as tightly as possible into a French Braid or ponytail at the nape of the neck, and allow the ends to constrict into your shirt or costume.

Footstep 2:
Fit the cap over your head. Using the pen or marker, trace a line around your hairline and ears. Leave about an extra inch of infinite. Take off the cap, and utilize the scissors to cut away the backlog.

Remember, it'due south always amend to leave too much infinite than too niggling - you tin always get back and trim it downward after.

Step iii:
Roll back the border of the cap. Pigment a thin line of Spirit Gum kickoff on your head, in the general shape of the cap. The Mehron Spirit Mucilage bottles come with an included applicator brush, and then yous tin can just use that to paint the Spirit Gum. Then become and pigment a thin line on the cap.

Once the Spirit Gum becomes tacky, flip the baldheaded cap downward and gently press the cap down into identify with your fingers. Smooth out the edges of the cap, and allow it to dry for a couple of minutes.

Step four:
Apply the Mehron Liquid Latex using the Stipple Sponge. This will help strengthen and hibernate the seams of the bald cap.

Stipple the liquid latex over the seam line of the cap, to nigh one inch on either side of the seam. If you need a thinner coat of latex, you tin can dilute information technology with a bit of water. Let the latex dry for about iii or four minutes, so re-apply as necessary.

Step 5:
Paint on the Mehron Castor Sealer over the unabridged bald cap and liquid latex. The castor sealer will cure liquid latex appliances and makeup, and this step will ready the baldheaded cap to accept standard foam makeup, and will forestall discoloration.

Since you're covering a pretty big surface area, use a large makeup castor to employ the castor sealer - nosotros used a blush castor.

Allow the castor sealer to try for 10 to 20 minutes.

Step 6:
Use a cream wedge sponge to paint on the Mehron CreamBlend™ Stick that about closely matches your skin tone - we used Natural Beige Blush. Using a dabbing (not wiping) motion, utilise the makeup all over the peel and cap.

Don't worry yet about having an even, opaque coat - we'll go dorsum later to even out the coverage.

Footstep 7:
Mist the Mehron Barrier Spray over your unabridged face. Agree the bottle a few inches away from the confront, and be sure to shut your optics while spraying! Let the bulwark spray dry out completely.

The barrier spray volition serve to fix and preserve the makeup application. You could also apply Mehron ColorSet setting pulverisation: using a pulverization puff, press (rather than rub) the powder into the cream makeup.

Step 8:
Go dorsum with the Mehron CreamBlend™ Stick skin-tone makeup and dab it on with a foam wedge sponge. Go on until you reach your desired opacity. Spray over again with the Mehron Barrier Spray, and let it dry out.

We decided to continue on and add together some stubble over the entire caput, but you tin likewise stop here for a completely baldheaded effect!

Using the stipple sponge, we went back with the Ebony CreamBlend™ makeup to create a "stubble" issue.
