Roger Bennett Riggle: My name is Roger Bennett Riggle, and today we are doing the
vampire transformation. In this stage we are going to apply the
prosthetics that are molded to look like vampire bites and these
particular pieces are handmade by a friend of mine Mr. Steve
Meyn who is a makeup artist. In preparation of these prosthetics I
am just going to pull away these paper thin edges on the prosthetic
because when they come out of the mold they are a little bit thick
on the edges and they roll up which is fine. So you just pretty
much by hand pull away the edges like that and then we are going
to take our white pencil.
I use a white pencil because the foundation color that goes over the
outline of the pencil covers it up. So it does not show like a dark
color like black or brown wood and what I am going to do is to
apply a bite basically on one side and one on the other. And of
course, you really do not want them too wide apart because they
are supposed to look like the incisors, the pointed teeth on a
vampire. So I take my pencil sometimes and just measure how
wide those incisors are from each other and that gives me a better
idea as to where the holes would go.
So I am just holding my pencil pretty much from hole to hole and I
am going to outline then my second piece and that is where the two
would go. I am pretty careful about putting them back down
exactly as I held them up and in order. The left one on my left side
and the right one on my right side, when I put them down, so I do
not get confused. I have taken some prosthetic adhesive and I am
going to take a disposable brush, this happens to be a disposable
lip brush and I am going to paint the prosthetic adhesive and in the
makeup business we call it Pros-Aid, for short. And we apply it to
the spots where the bites would go and I am pretty much staying
inside of the lines.
I am going to dab it just a little bit to make sure it is nice and even
and then I am going to touch it and we will let that dry for just a
moment. Now the prosthetic adhesive is drying, so now is the time
for me to apply the prosthetic. So I had put the glue on the first bite
first, so of course I am going to attach that just like that and the
second one I will put in its place. Do not forget with Pros-Aid or
prosthetic adhesive it is what it is, you need the remover, you need
prosthetic adhesive remover to get these off.
And I am going to take my pencil or the end of a brush, paint
brush, oh, these look good and I am just going to make sure I tap
the edges down and get them as nice and smooth as I can and
adhered to the skin. The reason you want to put the prosthetics on
first is because as we color the face with the foundation we want to
go ahead and color the prosthetics as well. Next, we move to
applying the foundation color to Joshua’s for the vampire
transformation.
