Roger Bennett Riggle: My name is Roger Bennett Riggle. Today we are doing the witch
transformation and right now we will finish up the prosthetics.
Now the next thing we are going to do and this is why I have my
acetone, is now I have got spirit gum all over my fingers so I want
to get that off very, very quickly. So it's nice to have a little finger
nail polish or a little acetone right on the side and the reason I use
my ring finger to oxygenate the spirit gum is that I still have my
four fingers to work with the prosthetics and not get stuck with the
spirit gum on my fingers. So you want clean fingers to work with
the spirit gum and your ring or your pinky fingers are the ones that
are still sticky, okay, good.
Now we are going to use the liquid latex, the liquid rubber and this
is some liquid latex in here, it’s just a little bottle of it that I keep in
my kit and I am going to spill some out on this palette here. Don’t
use too much, you can always add more if you need it and let me
take another latex sponge, non latex sponge and I am going to dip
it in this latex and again we are going to stipple and you want this
very, very thin. So close your eyes, you want to be careful not to
get it in the lashes and I am going to stipple the edges of this
prosthetic. Now this does two things. One, it helps the prosthetic
stay on even better because it does work as an adhesive and two, it
helps to disguise those edges even more. The more the edges of an
appliance are disguised, the better the impact of the make-up job
because people are really fascinated as to wow! How did you do
that? And once you put the latex on you don’t want to go over it
again until its dry because as it dries, if you touch it again it will
start to come up. So you don’t want to mess up your work. So
quickly get one layer on and be done with it.
Now when I am doing make-up jobs, I will often expedite my
work to save myself and the client time by using a hair drier. But
you can take a hair drier and keep some distance, I often put my
hand up and make sure I am not burning the model and you can
actually blow over the latex and what you are going to find is as
the latex dries, it turns rather colorless. So that’s when you know
it's dry, you can already see the side of this nose. See, it's already
turning clear, it's almost dry.
Now that we have applied the prosthetics with the spirit gum and
we have put the liquid latex over the edges, I am going to take a
little more castor sealer. This was the original product we used to
seal those products and now that we have put the liquid latex on
here, we have to seal that as well because we don’t want that to
have a reaction to the colors that we put on between the prosthetics
and the skin. So I am just going to pat a little of the castor sealer
over the liquid latex and seal that just like I sealed the prosthetics
originally. And this completes the application of the prosthetics for
the witch transformation. Now we go to applying the face color.
