The fluid required has to retain cohesion when sandwichedbetween latex and, say, a clear plastic layer.
Water rots latex and spreads evenly.
Oil rots latex quickly, and spreads.
Silicone doesn't rot but still spreads evenly.
Was hoping to utilise the same principle as that in a lava lamp, but not with these materials.
Next I'll try a multiple-layer, e.g.
Plastic
Fluid
Plastic
White latex
Generally, plastics are less likely to react but are less form-fitting than latex.
I was inspired to this method by the original description of the mask fabric in which Rorschach learns to cut the stuff using heated scissors.

how about some of that kiddie play slime stuff between sheets of clear silicone, bonding the silicone might prove tricky as only silicone is really any good at bonding silicone, not sure how you'd keep the edges dry/clean to allow it to bond, probably best to work off a cast of a face to make a mask
ky gel/lube stained with something for use with latex?

Could be interestingIsn't it water-based?
Would it be any better than, say, gelatine?
I could use a slime/wax or gelatine/wax system, much as in a lava lamp.

i think sobut it shouldn't cause problems with silicone.

I've had a quick look around,And other than using a ferrofluid sandwiched between two inert membranes
or a black stained wax manipulated by alternating heat pads on your face, I can't even begin to solve it.

*looks around for ferrofluids*Might not need heat pads if you can get the melting point of the wax down to facial body temperature.
