Welcome to the third section of Creating Alien Makeups.

I'm gonna show you how to take generic appliances

and turn them into fantastic alien makeups.

It's very useful because

many times you're not gonna have the advantage

of having custom made appliances for your actor.

Before we get started with the makeup,

I'm gonna show you how to prep the actor,

prep the appliance

and how to get everything ready.

We'll move on to then the application of

the facial appliance in this makeup.

We also have ear appliances

and I also explain how to make a blender

to extend the hairline further back once the wig is placed.

The next part is the coloring of the appliances.

This is where you're gonna use everything from PAX makeup,

to tattoo ink,

rubber mask grease paint

and some of the newer silicone makeups

such as Jordain and others.

Once the makeup's painted,

you're gonna move on to the tattoo application.

And then also how to use, creatively,

different types of stencils that are available now to makeup artists.

Last is the application of the wig,

hairpieces and final detailing to the makeup.

Hairpieces can be a very, very expensive

part of creating a character like this.

So I'm going to show you how to take everything off,

clean it, and prep it for the next time you need to put it on.

This will be followed by the removal.

How to take all this makeup off without injuring the actor.

As you can see, there's a lot to cover

so let's get started.
