This fully illustrated guide to more sophisticated makeup techniques for stage and screen examines the technology of prosthetics, which involves making appliances to change an actor's physical characteristics. The author presents all the steps of aging an actor with prosthetics, and also explains how to take a life mask, make the positive and negative moulds, make foam-latex appliances, cast hands and special features such as teeth and ears, and duplicate natural features such as wrinkles and skin textures for stock use.
