Roger Bennett Riggle: My name is Roger Bennett Riggle. Today, we are showing you the
witch transformation. Next we will show you how to color the
prosthetics. Okay, we are treating the prosthetics and now that we
have got the castor sealer all over the prosthetics avoiding the
edges, now we are going to color them and this is the sallow green
that we are going to use for the witch's skin coloring. So don’t
forget we are going to use to treat this just like skin. So I am going
to take my non latex sponge and I swizzle it in, a good three, four,
five times. And again, I am going to hold the hollow insides of the
prosthetic and I am going to just pat the make-up all over the
prosthetic to try and get it to be that sallow green skin tone. And
always pick up more and you want to get a nice even coating on
the prosthetic and you do the chin exactly as you do the nose,
good.
Now we kind of have a sallow green coloring on our prosthetics.
So the next thing that we are going to do is to turn to our color
liner palette and if you remember, we had chosen highlights as a
yellow color and for the shadow color we had chosen the dark
forest green. So let’s go ahead and preliminarily color these
prosthetics before they go on the face because that makes our job
easier as we go along because these do collapse when they are on
the face. See, when they are on the face and you are trying to work
with them, they collapse. So you want to try to get pretty close to
what you want before you glue them on. And so I am going to take
the forest green color and wherever there is an indentation in this
prosthetic, I can paint a shadow in there with this synthetic brush
and I usually want it a little darker in the middle and then I fade it
out toward the edges and you can see where we can get this to look
very three dimensional. This is actually the bottom of the chin and
you can see all the wrinkles already folded into the prosthetic and
you want it dark at the deepest ridges and then you just want to
fade and feather it out as you go away from the deep ridges.
Good, let’s take another brush and you always want to use two
brushes when you use colors and so let’s add in highlights.
Highlight is where the light would naturally hit a prosthetic so if I
am looking at the light coming in on this, I am going to see a ridge
of light and of course, its going to be light there at the tip of the
chin. This is the chin piece, I might add a little bit along the sides
to make it look a little bit longer and when you add highlight
against the shadow you get a more three dimensional effect and
you can see where the ridges swell up here, we would want
highlights on the top of those so that the piece doesn’t look like
one flat plainular piece, but that in fact it has some three
dimensional aspects to it. You can see where we are getting a little
real as I am going in here as far as light hitting the upper surfaces
and shadow falling into the ridges and you can start to blend those
colors in together to actually make a third color.
So I think blending is the secret to doing make-up quite a bit of the
time. You are actually using forest green and you are using yellow
and then when you mix them together then you are actually
making a third color and you can see that piece starting to come
alive. Additionally, what I want to do here is take another brush
and I am going to go into a very dark brown color, this is called
beard stipple and we can put this on people to make beard growth
happen and these are the warts and so I want them to be really dark
and ugly. So I am going to go ahead and paint them in with a dark
brown color called beard stipple and this makes them extremely
three dimensional.
Use the same technique for the nose. The final step in preparation
for the witch prosthetics, now that we have colored them is to set
that color into place. We want the color to hold on these
prosthetics, so I am going to take a little bit of the Neutral Set
Powder. You can see where it looks white, but it is colorless and
we are going to take a Velour powder puff and I sprinkle out a thin
layer of the powder and I push the puff into the powder and I
actually squeeze the powder into the puff and I tap it. I don’t want
too much powder on here, just enough to adhere to the creamy
surface and I actually just pat this powder on like so to stick to the
creamy make-up and that helps hold the make-up in place. Here is
the nose, a little powder on that, I don't want too much powder on
there and at the end of the make-up after I have powdered her
whole face I can always take a brush and remove the excess. But a
nice layer of powder on this creamy surface will help me hold the
color on while I apply the prosthetics. Coming up next we are
going to show you how to apply the witch prosthetics to our
model, Vanessa Strickland.
