Make-up and homemade prosthetic masks
Monday, April 5th, 2010It’s always good fun to go to costume parties and I try to make my own mask or make-up most of the time. It is still very amateurish but I’ve just started to make prosthetic masks in a more profesionnal way.

This is the latest prosthetic mask I made for a “Future Party”. This tiem I’ve tried to be a bit more professional in the making of the mask. I made a plaster cast of my face and sculpted the mask on top of it. I then made a mold of the mask and used some latex and polyurethane for the metalic part. The next article will be a step-by-step of the making of the mask.

I made this Avatar face for a “Future party”. I made the nose in super-sculpey and then I used multiple layers of liquid latex on top of it. The rest is just basic blue body paint.

This one was for a “Jungle party” and I used some yellow contact lenses.

This make-up and prosthetic mask was used for an”Halloween party”. Same as the avatar mask, I made the volume of the eyebrows and the nose in super sculpey and then I used thin layers of liquid latex. Once dry, I used some cotton under the latex mask to keep some volume.

I used this costume twice, once for a “Pirate party” and the second time for a Barroque Ball where I won the best costume of the night.

I was wearing this costume for a Burlesque Ball during the 2010 Fringe Festival in Adelaide.
