A
light, powdery material called Cabosil is poured into a shallow container.
This is mixed with the Pros-Aides adhesive into a thick paste that can be
used to blend problem edges.
The
problem edges are identified and blended
with the Cabosil paste using a flat wood stir stick.
The repaired edges are powdered.
The desired shade of base make-up,
this being a rubber mask greasepaint for the foam latex prosthetic piece,
is scooped onto a flat palette and thinned with 99% alcohol.
The rubber mask greasepaint base is
applied to every area of skin that will show with a make-up sponge.
Then the entire area is powdered with
a transluscent powder.
The powder sets the make-up and is brushed
off.
The
eyebrows are darkened in.
Blue
and red make up is stippled on lightly with a stipple sponge. This gives
the prosthetic piece a more realistic skin texture, and gives the look of
blood vessels under the skin and skin imperfections. Then, another light
layer of base is applied over that and powdered.
