Prosthetic Make-up

The technique of Prosthetic Make-up is very interesting, because it all beings with a casting, then appear the process of taking the mold of a body part, it is more common a model of the face, this is to use a base for sculpting the prosthetic. The molds are made from skin-safe silicone rubber. This mold is not enough to get a strong mold, that´s why they have to create a plaster or fiberglass bandage to provide support.
When they finished with this part they mold points in the sculpted to make sure that the two molds they created fix perfectly. One they finished with all the molds and sculpture of the face or any part of the body they started to paint the entire make up that in that moment they wanted to put.
Is very important to know how to paint and what colors to used, because it have to seems real in a movie, that´s why every element in the film had to fix. One of the hardest parts of prosthetic make-up is keeping the edges as thin as possible. They have to worry about every little detail to make it perfect in the movie.
