Day of Shoot

Materials used:

·        Liquid Latex

·        Bald cap

·        Spirit Gum

·        Snazaroo Dark Green Paint 

·        Aqua colour palette

·        Spirit Gum remover

·        Acetone

·        99% alcohol

·        Translucent powder

·        Contact lenses

·        Stipple sponges and brushes

I found all of these products easy to use (most likely as I have used them all before) and am glad I decided on these ones. It was important to me to haver a list of everything I was planning to use, even if they weren’t obvious in the end look (such as Acetone) as I wanted to make sure there was nothing my model was allergic to and gave her a list before hand so she would know everything that was being used.

 

Method:

·        I started of my prepping the skin using with a toner and asking my model to put her contact lenses in (she prefers to do it herself than have someone else doing it).

·        I then applied the bald cap, first cutting it to shape and then applying spirit gum around all edges. After this had dried I applied my pre-made latex prosthetic covering the forehead and nose.
 

·        I then used a stippling sponge to apply latex to the face, chest and neck to create a more rigid and more alien-esque appearance. This required a few layers in order to get rid of some of the edges for the bald car and latex piece.

·        I had to then wait for this to dry before I could apply anything else. I used a hair dryer on a cold setting to help speed this process up.

·        I then used my foundation brush and another stippling sponge to apply to colour all over. For my colour I used my Snazaroo Dark Green mixed with the black from my Aqua colour palette, both of which are water activated.
