Begin by gluing your prosthetic down completely as shown in "How to apply an FX FACES prosthetic". Seal the surface of the foam with a thin layer of either Pro-adhesive or Liquid latex. Allow to dry and powder. Brush off excess powder. We have pre-painted the teeth to save some time. We used an off white RMG on the teeth and then used brown around each tooth to define them.
You may note that custom contact lenses are already in place. This can be easier than putting them in after your makeup is complete.

Your now ready begin coloring. Start with a base tone color. For this application we're using a dark brown. Using a makeup sponge, apply the makeup over all areas of foam and skin that will show in your completed makeup.Make sure to not get this color on your teeth. Powder well to set the Makeup & brush off excess powder.

Your now ready to begin adding a highlight color over the base tone. We wanted a lighter shade of our base tone color so we added a light fleshtone to our base color. Using the flat side of a makeup sponge, dab into your RMG picking up a small amount of makeup. Don't add too much or it will fill in the details of the prosthetic. Lightly dab the sponge over the surface of the foam and skin, allowing the makeup to only hit the higher spots of the appliance. This will leave the base tone showing in all the crevices, wrinkles, etc. Once you've finished with this step, powder well and brush off excess. |
We now mixed some yellow RMG into our highlight color and repeated the dabbing process, but only here and there. We don't want to cover our last color, just add another highlight color. Powder well and brush off excess.
