Makeup By Julie Gossip Forum

Prosthetic makeup (also called Special make-up effects and FX prosthesis) is the process of using prosthetic sculpting, molding and casting techniques to create advanced cosmetic effects. In some ways, Prosthetic makeup goes back to the beginning of film making with A Trip to the Moon (French: Le Voyage dans la Lune) is a 1902 French adventure short film directed by Georges Méliès. Where the man on the moon was a combination of makeup and a prosthetic type mask with added pastes. Of course the great makeup artist Jack Pierce who was a Hollywood make-up artist best remembered for creating the iconic makeup worn by Boris Karloff in Frankenstein and his makeup for the Wolfman and more. Modern prosthetic makeup was revolutionized by John Chambers in such films as Planet of the Apes and Dick Smith in Little Big Man.These artists developed many techniques that we still use today. These artists taught and inspired the next generation of Special Effects makeup artists who in turn developed more advanced techniques for effects makeup including developing different materials, animatronics and added computer elements.
These artist trained and inspired the next generation of artists to continue the line of special effects artistry.
