I have been tasked with changing 10 teenagers into lepers for a VBS skit. Need ideas for make-up, easy removal

Question

that is, easy to remove make up. Some one has suggested Oatmeal and glue & food coloring. Will have 'mud' and bells/clackers/whistles....

Answer 1

Yeah, oatmeal and diluted white glue will work. Make sure you have your actors cover their skin with Vaseline first...this will protect the skin and help the stuff come off later.

What you really could use also is some liquid latex....that is kind of expensive though. You could try rubber cement, but that stuff is "oil based" and will cause skin irritation. That's why the white glue might be better because it's "water based".
Good luck

Signs and symptoms
The earliest sign of leprosy is commonly a spot on the skin that may be slightly redder, darker, or lighter than the person's normal skin.

The spot may lose feeling and hair. In some people the only sign is numbness in a finger or toe.

If left untreated, leprosy has serious effects on the body, including:

* Hands and feet - Leprosy bacteria attack the nerves in the hands and feet and cause them to become numb. A person may get cuts or burns on the numb parts and not know it, leading to infections which cause permanent damage. Fingers and toes may be lost to infection. Serious infections in the feet may require amputation. Paralysis may cause the fingers and toes to curl up permanently.
* Eyes - Leprosy bacteria attack the nerves around the eyes causing the loss of blinking reflex (which protects the eye from injury and moistens the surface). The eyes become dry and infected, and blindness may result. Because of numbness of the eye, the person cannot feel dirt or scratches in the eye.
* Face - Damage to the internal lining of the nose causes scarring and eventual collapse of the nose.

Oatmeal is a pretty good idea as is mud but it would be pretty hard making it look realistic. My suggestion is masks.
