Step 6: Details
-Using a brush or q-tip, paint included blood around
inside edge of appliance, smearing lightly on various
parts of the metallic surface. DONʼT OVER DO IT!
-When finished, brush hair naturally overtop of the
appliance to hide the edges
Step 7: Removal
-Using a brush or q-tip saturated in remover, brush
all over the edges and let sit for a few minutes. Peel
up the edge and brush on remover underneath as
you lift, moving around the forehead until the entire
piece is free. Use soap and hot water to remove
remaining make-up and then apply a thin layer of
vitamin E lotion to entire face and neck if desired.
Water will dissolve gelatin, do not submerge
prosthetic in water!

Items you will need for the make-up
application:
-all items included with kit
-small paintbrush or q-tips
-paper towels
-Witch Hazel
-baby powder
-vaseline
-hair gel (optional)
-old toothbrush (optional)
-FX Color Kit (optional)
-Cab-O-Patch (optional)
-small paper cups
Step 1: Fitting
-Place make-up
appliance on subject,
and lightly powder
around the outside
edges on the skin to
create an outline.
This will help with
placing the appliance
back on after glue is
applied. Brush back
hair with water or styling gel to hold in place while
make-up is applied.
Step 2: Adhering
-using a brush or qtip, spread adhesive
in the cheek and brow
area, keeping the
adhesive in about an
inch from the edge of
where the prosthetic
sits on face...you will
glue the edges later.
DO NOT APPLY GLUE TO EYELIDS, EYELASHES, or
EYEBROWS! Coat the backside of the prosthetic as
well, also avoiding the outer edges. Let adhesive
become tacky, tapping at it with your finger or the handle
of a brush, then carefully place the prosthetic in place
and press firmly on the area above the adhesive.
Carefully lift the edges of the prosthetic, and brush on
more adhesive, spreading it all along the edges, pressing
them down as you go. Using a moist brush or q-tip,
brush down the edges of the prosthetic, flattening them
out until the glue sets. Avoid the top of the head for right
now. Give the adhesive a minute or two to dry.
When dry, you can attach the prosthetic to the hair area if
desired. You can use the adhesive to glue prosthetic to
gelled hair. The gel forms a barrier on the hair and should
make it easy to remove glue later on.
Step 3: Blending
-Using a q-tip saturated
with hot water or Witch
Hazel, brush the edges,
starting about 1/4 to 1/2
inch in from the edge,
outward onto your skin,
rolling it toward you as
you go. ONLY BRUSH
FROM INSIDE TO
OUTSIDE, OR YOU MAY
LIFT UP THE EDGES. Continue to brush, as the hot water
or witch hazel will begin to dissolve the edge, leaving it
practically invisible. Be careful not to over do it…
Some artists prefer to use Liquid Latex, or Cab-O-Patch, a
creamy prosthetic bondo to blend the edges of the
prosthetic into the skin. To use this product, Apply a small
amount using a dental spatula or popsicle stick, running it
smoothly along the edge, filling in any gaps between the
prosthetic and the skin. Blend and smooth the “bondo” until
there are no longer any visible “edges” along the outside of
the prosthetic. Let dry, powder, and re-apply if necessary.
Coat with a layer or two of Liquid Latex to seal and blend
the edges further.
Step 4: Make-up
-Using the included sponge, take small amounts of the
liquid make-up (large container) and sponge it lightly from
the prosthetic edges outward onto the skin. Continue to
cover the face with a light coating of make-up in order to
blend face and forehead together. Continue make-up down
on the neck if desired.
Step 5: FX Colors & Splatter Paint-optional
Splatter paint is a thinned-down make-up, and is meant to
be applied by “splattering” the color onto the prosthetic
make-up. This adds texture to the make-up, and helps to
blend it into your own skin.
To use splatter paint with the gelatin prosthetic, you will
need the FX COLOR KIT, a small paper cup, an old
toothbrush or a 1/2” chip brush (with the bristles cut in half,
making them slightly stiffer), and a sponge. Simply pour a
pour a small amount into a
cup, dip the toothbrush or
chip brush into the paint and
squeeze some of the excess
paint out. Hold the brush
about 6-8” from the
prosthetic or your skin, and
slide your thumb or finger
along the bristles,
splattering the paint onto the
surface. You want a variety
of the size of the splatter
particles, with the largest
being about 1/8” round
(about half the size of an
eraser head on a pencil), and you may want or need to
thin the paint even more so with water, preferably distilled
water...giving the paint splatters a translucent look.
When using splatter paint for a flesh-colored make-up, I
start with painting the prosthetic and skin with the base
medium flesh color, then splatter on the blush color (rouge
red), then move to purple bruise, then darker flesh tones,
then brown (espresso) for a freckled look, and finish off
with the medium flesh tone, and sometimes add a bit
more rouge red color if I want more of a reddish tone to
the make-up. Avoid getting too much on the already
painted prosthetic piece...cover it with a paper towel while
splattering if necessary.
Use a sponge to pat and absorb the excess or large paint
spatters on the face. Smaller splatter particles are better!
Now take the brown & purple colors and repeat the same
process. Next, take the original flesh color, and repeat
the process again. Be careful not to over do it! You are
blending your skin color to the forehead make-up for a
more realistic appearance.
When finished, lightly powder your face and neck, and
then blot lightly with a damp paper towel.
-Add small scratches around edge of appliance using
included fx colors for added realism. Keep scratches thin,
using varying colors of red along scratch.
