After being unhappy with the outcome of my first practice of my initial design, I needed to remove the make-up of my practice prosthetic and test my new design concept. After finding the outcome to be too bold and theatrical, and definitely not suitable for film, I had to rethink my approach. After considering my options and also the products I already have available to me, I came up with a new idea.
I wanted my new design to be a lot more natural in appearance, and for the prosthetic to look as matching to the skin it is applied to as possible. Part of my read for originally opting for white Supracolor was the thick, grease-based and creamy consistency which provided a coverage thick enough to make the complexion of my model and the prosthetic as much of a close match as possible.
I then realised that the answer was very obvious and simple:- Kryolan's Ultra foundation palette. This gave me enough of a range of highlight and shade tones and also allowed me to pick a shade that was both natural and human-like but also pale. As well as this, the consistency is thick enough and easily bendable that I could create the outcome that I wanted.
Once I decided on this, I painted my prosthetic using regular beauty brushes and the foundation, using darker shades in the deep areas and lighter shades in the higher parts, with a pale shade as the base.
Once I had done this, I did another make-up practice on my model to test the new outcome, and was very please with the result:
