Frankenstein Monster Makeup Application
A. Using a makeup sponge apply a Green makeup base to the face leaving room around the hairline and eyes. Lightly dust with Mehron "Colorset" Powder removing excess with Powder Brush.
B. Using Black Makeup, "hollow" facial bones to add angularity to the face. Follow cheekbone line with Black makeup from the front of the ear down toward the jaw line. Blend in the Black makeup downward to create a deep shadow effect. Draw a line following the natural creases from alongside nose to the corner of the mouth. Blend in this crease towards the cheek. Paint in the hairline, eyebrows and lips, outline the eyes. Note that all shadows and wrinkles have a "hard edge" that is a somewhat unblended edge, and a soft edge which is blended completely into the base. Study the blending direction in our photos.
C. With White makeup lightly highlight the "hard edge" of the Black areas. Blend this White into the Green base.
D. Add final details, scars, etc.
Optional Special Effects and Tips:
- Use Mehron Tooth F-X to create blackened or stained teeth.
- Use Mehron 3-D Gel to create realistic scars, cuts, stitches, or in applying bolts.
- Facial structure can be altered using Mehron Modeling Putty/Wax.
