Techniques used in the class will include the application of a vinyl bald cap, and foam latex prosthetics. Students will learn how to blend edges of prosthetic pieces for a flawless, professional makeup look.

Prosthetics are flesh-like pieces usually made from latex, gelatin, or silicone. They are used to augment the features of an actor/performer for film, TV, commercial and stage makeup. Prosthetics are commonly used in horror effects, and for monster, alien, and fantasy characters. They are also used for disguise, historical figures, cosplay, science fiction and more!
