Although these are beginner FX, they often look very real. While this is lots of fun, please keep that in mind if you have younger members of your household or family members sensitive to gory looks. In addition, please note that with any makeup application there may be an allergy risk. For example, some people have an allergy to liquid latex (band-aids, etc.) In this case, opting to use liquid school glue may be a better alternative. Skin testing prior to the application of any product is necessary to check for skin sensitivity.
