Preparation for make-up

Preparation

STEP 1 and 2. Preparation .(above picture) We cover the hair with bald cap before we cast the actors face. All hair should have separators so casting materials wont stick on it. Casting . (right picture) We mix the Alginate and cover his face leaving the air passage on his nose open, and laid abaca fiber for the alginate to hold on to the backing mold which is not shown here.
