Prosthetic makeup, also known as special effects makeup, involves the use of prosthetic materials to create realistic and transformative changes to a person's appearance. It's commonly used in film, television, theater, and cosplay to create characters with unique physical features or to simulate injuries, wounds, and other fantastical elements. Prosthetic makeup artists create custom prosthetic appliances, which are often made from materials like foam latex, silicone, and gelatin. These appliances are sculpted, molded, and then applied to the actor's face or body using adhesives and makeup techniques. Once applied, they are blended seamlessly with the actor's natural skin to achieve a convincing and immersive transformation.
