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.

Your now ready begin coloring. Start with a base tone color. For this application we're using a deep red. Using a makeup sponge, apply the makeup over all areas of foam and skin that will show in your completed makeup. In this case, we're covering the entire prosthetic, as well as deeper areas of the model's skin. 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 pale vampire color so we started with a light fleshtone. We added white to lighten it further then added small amounts of blue until we achieved this 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 mixed up a deep purple color by adding blue to our deep red base color.We used this color in the eyesockets and blended it out.Powder well and brush off excess.
