DEFINE SPX MAKE UP:
The use of special effects techniques to enhance physical features to exhibit metaphysical characteristics as well as fantasy make up. The use of prosthetics and plaster casting are also required for projects that entails non-human appearances. Accents such as theatrical blood and ooze (tuplast) are also techniques applicable to this type of make up.
In my theatrical and media make up course we did a large module on SFX make up and i thoroughly enjoyed each part, we covered every aspect from burns to bruises, scars, to character work (which included the use of prosthetic pieces and latex)
The products we used are as follows:
 |
Runny blood used to create realistic wounds |
 |
Wax used to create scars and used in conjunction with prosthetics |
 |
Latex to create a 'skin' and used in aging effects |
 |
Burn wheel to create different stages of burns on the skin |
 |
Scratch blood used to create scratchs of blood on the skin, looks realistic |
 |
Tuplast used to create scars and ooze effects |
 |
Bruise wheel, used to create different stages of bruises on skin |
 |
Scratch sponge, used for creating scratch effects with blood |
 |
Stipple sponge, used for aging effects |
 |
Gel fix skin which is used to create 3rd degree burns |
Here is a small bruise effect i done on my finger, the colours are so close to realistic bruise shades that if blended properly the bruise can mistakenly look REAL.
