LEADING THE FINE ART OF MAKE-UP INTO THE NEXT MILLENNIUM™
F/X Construction Processes
Construction Process, "Zombie"
Before Application. First step is to apply a bald cap. Some heavy duty thread tied to a bent rubber coated paper clip is used to raise the upper lip. The thread is glued down to the head using celaphane tape and latex. The clip is easily removable. Next, spirit gum is applied to the upper face and tacked with cotton; This will help to ancor the morticians wax, which is applied over top. The wax is then sculpted to resemble bone structure and rotting flesh.
Cotton is used to sculpt out features in highly flexible areas, like the jaw and mouth. The cotton is pre-shaped by hand and applied over spirit gum. The cotton is generously sprayed with hair spray and a palette knifeis used to sculpt the desired features.
Once the construction is complete, a PAX base is applied
over the whole make-upallows for a longer lasting make-up
and allows hair to be applied later.
Rubber mask grease is hand painted aroung the eyes, lips, ears and nostrils. Crepe wool is applied to the back of the head with latex. For this type of application latex is very durable and is unaffected when hair spray is applied to the wool. Tooth effects, paints, and creative colors are used to make-up the teeth.
In this make-up the RMG was thined with 99% alcohol and applied with an airbrush. Rubber mask grease is used for highlighting, shading, and texture detailing. Hair spray and gel are applied and the wool is brushed out and styled.
With added wardrobe, your zombie is complete.
