Movie Makeup…It’s Evolution
I came across this video about one of the old masters of makeup in the 30’s and 40’s.
Baked foam rubber….I never heard that one before, but then again, it was before my time. I am curious as to what he meant by ‘foam rubber’. It is what we consider foam rubber today or something else?
My first experience with ‘rubber’ masks was ordering a 50 gallon drum of latex and a 5 gallon drum of a cataylist to build my own masks and other prosthtics. Every once in a while, I think maybe I’ll try that again. The drawback? You can get a LOT of masks out of 55 gallons of latex products (remember the math 50+5), and I would only want to make a few dozen masks.
