Prosthetic makeup (also called Special make-up effects and FX prosthesis) is the process of using prosthetic sculpting, molding and casting techniques to create advanced cosmetic effects. Prosthetic makeup was revolutionized by John Chambers in such films as Planet of the Apes and Dick Smith in Little Big Man.
The process of creating a prosthetic appliance begins with lifecasting, the process of taking a mold of a body part (often the face) to use as a base for sculpting the prosthetic. Lifecast molds are made from prosthetic alginate or more recently, from skin-safe silicone rubber. This initial mold is relatively weak and flexible. A hard mother mold, typically made of plaster or fiberglass bandages is created overtop the initial mold to provide support.
Once a negative mold has been created, it is promptly filled with gypsum cement, most commonly a brand called "Ultracal-30", to make a "positive" mold. The form of the prosthetic is sculpted in clay on top of the positive. The edges of the clay should be made as thin as possible, for the clay is a stand-in for what will eventually be the prosthetic piece. Along the edges of the mold, "keys" or mold points are sculpted or carved into the lifecast, to make sure that the two pieces of the mold will fit together correctly. Once sculpting is completed, a second mold is made. This gives two or more pieces of a mold - a positive of the face, and one or more negative mold pieces of the face with prosthetic sculpted in. All clay is carefully removed and the prosthetic material is cast into the mold cavity. The prosthetic material can be foam latex, gelatin, silicone or other similar materials. The prosthetic is cured within the two part mold - thus creating the beginning of a makeup effect.

Make-up Effects Group, was hired to design and create the friendly “Giant” character for Telstra. A head cast was taken of the actor as a base for the prosthetic make-up. Sculptures were created in plasticine and moulded in Epoxy resin. Encapsulated silicone facial appliances were created and blended seamlessly into the foam latex head and neck cowls. Airbrushing and hand painting was done on all the silicone appliances, using alcohol-based inks and acrylic paints. Lace hair and beard pieces were added to complete the “Giant” look. Dentures were also created for the character. Prosthetic make-up application time was 3hrs. http://www.megeffects.com.au https://www.facebook.com/MakeupEffectsGroup/

READ ME: The mould used in this video is Cut Throat #2 by Stuart Bray. This is the link for it on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CUT-THROAT-2-/141270784103?pt=UK_Crafts_Other_Crafts_EH&hash;=item20e4651867 There's links to his website (UK based) and brick in the yards supply (in america) below. The easiest way to get the most realistic slit throat is with a flat mould. This video discusses why I love flat-moulds so much and what you can achieve with them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd2Rl8lFy5Q Part 1 has how to fill the moulds with white for the trachea, a fatty colour, and a flesh colour, for maximum realness. http://youtu.be/MdJVISLtw-o This video has the application of the flat mould with sexy close ups of the blending, detail, colouring, etc. Hopefully you learn something ...
