I remember kids using Elmer's Glue to glue their hands together in grade school. It did not hurt them then, I cannot imagine that it would cause any damage to your skin if you do not keep it there very long.
Just remember your face is more sensitve than the palms of your hands. When you take the glue off your face it may pull the skin more than you thought it would.

Elmer's glue is non-toxic so you can and it may even make your face feel a little smoother when you take it off because you'll be peeling off the dead skin when you take the glue off. Like in elementary and middle school when kids put the glue on their hands and peeled it off.

No No. You need a glue called either spirit gum or spirit glue ( I forget ) It's available at theatrical stores, costume shops or you might find it at Party City. I would try Party City first.

you could try, but make sure that the glue can't be seen, and if you can't do anything about it, mix paint into the glue to make it as close to the color that you are using.
the only thing that's bad about this is that it hurts to peel it off afterwards. it's not toxic, or anything.
it would be best to make sure that your not allergic to anything that you're going to be using first, just as a precaution.

NO!!!! Get some liquid latex or spirit gum. Latex comes off easier from the skin w/o hurting you, spirit gum is a lot harder to get off. Elmers will hurt your skin, make you burn under the prostetic. You can get either product from a theater supply or on line. They aren't hard to find.

Sure it can!!! Go for it, you'll be happy you did!!! Hey, for that extra long hold effect, try crazy glue, or super glue, oh what the heck just cement it on!

No, it'll plug your pores and possibly even take off a layer of skin.
