- The do it yourself face cast! To make sure our channel is a one-stop-shop for everything in special effects makeup we decided to do a face cast tutorial as well.
This will be used in some of our upcoming makeups so make sure you create your own :-)
ONLY USE PLASTER GAUZE and always follow the insctructions on your specific product. Our particular brand is to be used with water below 35° to avoid exothermic reaction.

And no, it's NOT dangerous. Make sure you use THIN sheets of PLASTER GAUZE ON YOUR FACE, and a very small amount of it.
But DO NOT use regular plaster mix on your skin casue it may get too hot when it sets :)
it would be sooooo cool if you did the "I must not tell lies" scratches from harry potter
julia mount That would be...
😇😇😇 ellimacs sfx makeup I love your work ellie!!!and macs!!😆😍😛😚😚
😉
Love watching you create cool different things !!
Bless you guys, most tutorials call for materials way too expensive for beginners. I'm greatly looking forward to checking out your other vids. :)
Elli is still beautiful without makeup in jealous😭❤️
Chloe McKelvey same. ^-^
and without lip injections
shes looks BEAUTIFUL without make up
Just did a face cast with this tutorial! It's super easy but I would suggest wearing a bald cap or swim cap to extend the plaster further as the cast can become a little skinny and shallow! I've seen conversations about alginate but this application is super easy for a beginner like me
Omg. I did this last night and MAN I wish I face planted the Vaseline instead of just putting it on my brows and under eye area. It came off easily where I had Vaseline.. but as for the rest of my face, it hurt. And it did not want to come off no matter how hard I tried. I basically just had to rip it off.
A couple things: I covered my hair with plastic wrap and kept it in place on my forehead using liquid latex as an adhesive-I don’t think it’s worth risking your hair falling into the plaster. And this video made it look so easy but taking it off did not go that smoothly for me at all.
I’m very happy to have my own face cast but there has to be a better way of doing this. Maybe covering your whole face in Vaseline would help the mask come off? Idk good luck >.
Lauren Bennett yeah, when I took mine off I nearly broke mine completely. Luckily, I managed to save it. Putting the mixture into the face cast was also different. When it got to the creamy texture it began to dry quickly so hopefully when I take it out there won’t be any lumps, but the back does look lumpy. Maybe I could sand it so it’s smooth
Lauren Bennett l
Tanya Yexley Okay I’ve learned a ton since then. Never put plaster bandages directly on your skin. Use alginate to take the impression of all the details of your face or whatever you’re lifecasting-it’s not only safe for your skin but captures way more detail than the method in this video. Then you put the plaster bandages over the alginate to give it a shell to hold its shape, and pour your hydrocal into that after you pop the alginate and bandage shell off your face (which actually comes off smoothly).
When I went to Monsterpalooza and told some people what I did following this video, they said “don’t ever do that again. You’re lucky you didn’t lose your face.”
Lauren Bennett Agreed!
This is such a good tutorial!! Thank you so much! Any other face cast tutorial I've seen involves at least 2 people and the one with the cast on has to sit with their face and eyes covered completely for at least 20 minutes. Now I can do it myself! Thank you ❤️
Yes! Finally a cheap alternative to face casts. I can make my own prosthetics to fit my face. Thank you for this!!!
I used this technique only diffrence is i applied Vaseline EVERYWHERE on my face lol
XxXDragaonXxX me too 😂
Did it hurt at all?
@@songbird2614 no ! the plaster gauze is kinda like a paper mask- paper and glue and is very relaxing if someone is doing it on you :) just remember to cover whole face and some hair with vaseline. Latex prostetics can hurt on baby hairs not plaster gauze :D
I did this last night.. putting vaseline everywhere also.. still pretty much waxed my face! 🤣 But brows & lashes still in tact!! 👌👌
Tryxx good idea
Just created my face cast using this tutorial!!! Waiting for it to set overnight and can't wait to play!! I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!! XOXO - Beauty By Lydia B
I swear it's like you guys KNEW I was looking for this. It's great!!
This worked amazingly! I vaselined my whole face and I'm glad that I did! It came off fairly easily! I'm trying to do ellimacs Medusa so I need a face cast to so the prosthetics. Glad I looked for other videos because this one is the easiest one I found! And cheapest! Only cost me about $10 in supplies (Michael's half off one item coupon).
what type of plaster did you get at Michels??? Thanks for your reply
If you guys read the description... She used water that was below 35 degrees to avoid the reaction
I wish Macs was more specific about how to cover your face properly. I didn't go all the way under my chin because I didn't realize I needed to. I love Ellimacs but please don't glaze over the details!😁
This helped me so much! Thank you! Always love watching your guy's videos!
Whattt I didn't realise how easy this was, thank you so much :3
Awesome, you guys are so inspirational! Love the Swedish lessons because I am obsesses with Sweden!
***** Awesome! :)
+Jasmine Gustavsson euphoria Loreen ;)
I'm going to start posting you on my FB page. More people need to know about you and Macs. I have been following you guys for about 3 years now and you never cease to make me smile!
Macs, more talking, babe!
Angie B Thank you so so much Angie! =)
This works for me, I've used it for half casts and a full cast but I suggest instead of going out and buying all these expensive things to stop it actually hurting your skin just to cover your face in Vaseline, works for me and my cousin who gets stuck with me sticking stuff to her face
elli you are flawless without makeup 💕
Its cool you did a tutorial on how to do this!
I will make sure to do this in the future!
Great video!👍👍👍
Thanks for the great tutorial; what type of oil was used on her face and in the cast?
Can you list the products pleaaaaaaaaaase???
@The Brothers Sebas & Leo English please?
You will need:
Vaseline/oil
Plaster cloth/plaster gauze
Powdered plaster (plaster of Paris)
Water
240 grit sandpaper
Woodglue (PVA glue)
Thanku soo much for this tutorial! I'm making three on the weekend for me, my little brother and my sister. I'm only 13 so I have alot to learn. .i'm also going to try ur false teeth one , the fake eye and some other cool stuff u guys have posted up!my dream is to one day become an sfx /makup artist but being in Australia its gunna be hard lol
This is... So much easier and cheaper than most face casting tutorials... And it's just about the only one you can do alone.
Hi!!!! i love your work so much, it inspired me to try to make a face cast of my own. So far i have everything i need but my biggest concern is the oil i purchased... from a grocery store lol OLIVE OIL. Im not sure if this is the correct oil to use to remove the face mold from the face cast. Please help! Love you!
so awesome! so glad I finally decided to do this!
Awesome I broke my last one because I didn't apply glue and I had hell of time getting bandages off cuz I didn't use oil what kinda of oil baby oil.. Please tell me next tutorial your gonna shows how to use face cast to mold... You guys rock :) :) :)
***** We're filming the next tutorial tomorrow, and we will most likely be using the face cast yes ;) You can see it on Periscope tomorrow when we live broadcast a preview. @ellimacsSFX is us there too.
Awesome I can't wait I'll be waiting for it :) :)
I sooo enjoy your channel guys I'm glad I founded. you are so talented. Thanks for a great content
Its funny, how some Swedish Words are similar to german words.
to Polish too
They both belong to the germanic branch.
Because ya’ll are like 4 hours away 😑 you used to be one giant nation ahaha
This is so weird, I was just wondering how to do this ....... And by the way, I love your guy's channel you inspire me so much :)
OhMyGod I'd be too worried about ripping my eyebrows off!! Haha, even with the Vaseline applied :O
Deanna Waters don't worry I tried it and I still have my brows and my eyelashes :)
Oh good!! Hahaha might give it a try now
Deanna Waters you can use cling wrap on your eyebrows. That's what I did and I still have my eyebrows.
Deanna Waters a little bit of my eye brow came off but it's hard to tell 😂 cause I just did this rn
Hey,
Did you have to wait until the cast was completely dry before filling it with the craft plaster? Currently in mid-process of creating this 😊
And off to Amazon to buy the supplies! lol. I've wanted to do this for so long :D Now I'm going to have some cool prosthetics in time for Halloween :D
in german plaster is Gips too :D
in Russia too )0))0))
In Danish too :)
In Arabic too
in France too
OtakuSaiko in Iceland it's gifsi, or I think that is gifsi I'm not 100% sure 😂
Elle is soo pretty without make-up on, omg. SO jealous!!
I might use this if I can't get some body double! The only trick would be getting my whole head and neck casted but I'm sure this technique will work!
My plaster mix didnt look as thick as hers... I Already poured it into my face cast... AND FORGOT TO PUT OIL ON THE INSIDE... Is it gonna come out???
Jd Bryant Literally the same exact thing happened to me. I'm sure it's too late now but once my plaster mixture was somewhat hardened, I peeled the gauze off and it worked just fine
LOLitsElizabeth yep it worked for me
Same I literally just did that rn
I came here after two-face and I remembered the rules so as soon as Elli made a funny face I just shouted SHOT!
Elli looks so pretty without makeup😘
Hej och tack för en superbra tutorial! Är det gipsbinda du använder i första steget? Hur mycket använde du ungefär? Tack!!
this is an extremely helpful video!! thank you!!
Omg, I love ellie's voice😊
Åh vad fina örhängen du har Ellinor!
Linnea Persson Taaack Linnea :D
Ellie + that dress = great video, no matter the content. She could be sitting there in that dress watching the grass grow, and I'm fine with it. Heh! Seriously, though, nice tutorial and nice camera work, Macs.
Hey Elli and Mac....you should use the face cast and do a halloween version of Pavi from Repo! The Genetic Opera. That kept going thru my head the whole time watching this lol :)
thanks so much for posting this video! it helps a lot and I love every video you post! I was wondering what oil do you use like baby oil or something else? oh and what else could you use other than wood glue?
Any oil can be used or vaseline. You can use modge podge glue or just any kind of glue should be ok. I usually use modge podge.
This video was really useful as im just getting into sfx makeup myself and was looking for a way to make a face cast for myself without all the fancy nonsense, but this was great because I have some plaster gauze! Also what oil did you use to prevent the liquid plaster from sticking to the plaster gauze?
Hannah Kenny Any oil works fine :) We used olive oil.
Oh thats brilliant! Thank you very much :)
Questions: 1. what type of oil did u use for the finished dried casting face??? Did u use the Vaseline for the whole face or just only the eyebrows to cover???
Cuz I like to make that on my own when I get home from the trip. 👍👍👍💖💖💖🎨🎨🎨
I feel like she should get more subscribers she's so talented
Thank you so much for making this video it has really helped me
hii, ellinor, im a new beginner self taught visual effect artist. im just wonderring, do u dip plaster gauze into liquid latex which u apply on your face? did u mix liquid latex with water or anything too?
hey just want to say that i really love your videos and tutorials, the steps is really clear. i hope u wont mind if u can list down some brands or product name for us in order to let us know which type we should get to avoid using the wrong one or some that is unsuitable for use on the skin :) and sometime it is really troublesome that my country didnt sell some kind of product that u used :( will be appreciate to that :) keep it up to u ellinor ! really love your turorial
Now I really want to do this...
I always kind of thought you needed the gum cast stuff they use professionally...
But this sounds awesome.
Thanky ou very much!
Btw plaster is the same word in German and swedish ^^
I noticed that the inside of yours looks super smooth. I tried this and mine had the weave marks of the gauze. Was my gauze just different or did you maybe coat your inside with something? My plastered face ended up having markings from the threads.
Vart skulle du föreslå att man går för att handla sakerna för det här, och vad är shopping listan? Also, Älskar att det finns en så awesome SFX artist på youtube. Så roligt med alla tidbits!
I thought I could buy it at the store so I was searching all over for the masks, then I thought what if the mask cant fit me? then I remember I subscribed to you then I found this video, it was very helpful!
love your channel HFL!!
I like ellie more without makeup than with it 😝
Well she's a grown woman
she's got a very pretty accent, her english is adorable.
Gjorde detta för ungefär 2 månader sedan,fungerade utmärkt haha !
Glömde av att lägga olja i " gipsbindeformen"- men det blev bra ändå.
Tack för en hjälpande tutorial ((:
Her voice is super adorable!!!! ^.^
How did you stick the plaster to the face please ? Love the vid !!!
Sweet thank you! I thought I had to go somewhere to get this done. But I can actually do it myself with easy to find stuff. :D
At 1:41 did Ellie purchase that skull with the horns? Or did she make it?
I love your work
Yes I have been looking for a video like this
I needed this so madly.. THANK YOU!
definitely gotta make this
I gotta try this one day..
I wanna do this and paint it exactly like me and get a scarecrow body and just have it sitting on the sofa or looking out of the window when I leave the house 😂
The other tutorials looks so scary. They cover thick layer on their faces and struggle to remove it. This one looks easy :) thank you for sharing this tutorial. Definitely doing this one
Ellimacs sfx makeup what do you use to make your face cast plaster gauze but what do you put in it after it with the water ( what do you mix with it)
Would love to have a answer before Halloween
Elli you don't need makeup you're so beautiful
Ok I have the link to your shop for your own plaster gauze. Excellent!
Do you have a product list for everything you need from start to finish to create One?
Amazingly helpfull thankyou !!!!
hi! I'm completely new to this... what kind of oil do you use? Is it just vegetable oil?
hey guys love your page!!!!!! just wondering where u got your stuff and was it cheap? i would love to try this
I wish I could do this but my parents would freek if I did😂
Omg same
+Tijmen Brozius perfect! It's not like the kids are doing heroin.... Right?
why would your parents get mad at you for being creative?
Right? If I did this I would be grounded for weeks!
Your so beautiful and natural 😆💗💗
Great work. Thanks for the help... Where can I find this music you used? 😅 I love it
Her voice is so cute!
Hello,
what is the best way to protect my (long) beard, when doing this?
Transformer is fabric, which only can be used once, if it is rubber, maybe can be use many times
dina videoklipp är så bra
Is the plaster safe to put on your face? Like If you were making a face piece, mask etc
On the actual face cast (the part u mixed half water half plaster) did u use regular plaster or plaster gause like when u did the face mold? Sorry if I misspelled it. And love your work!
Yes, stage 2 is regular plaster. But only put plaster gauze on your face on stage 1 :)
ellimacs sfx makeup thanks!
Question: what kind of plaster-gauze do it get? & what kind of plaster mix do I get?
First comment yay(: I love u guys and the show
What type of plaster powder do you use to pour into your plaster gauze mask? Any recommendations?
Thanks for the vid.
I just saw you over on mykies.
adia wyatt lo im always on mykies
Rj Davila same
Rj Davila No problem =)
Lol I wanted to make the nyx face awards monster and this will help me a lot !!!!
Im teaching myself SFX makeup andfor one of my prosthetics i needed a face mold. i had gitten a mask making kit a few years prior that had plaster gauze soidecided to use that. i use vasaline to cover my eyebros and any extra baby hair and started working. i had no complications untill it needed to be taken off. as my hair is quite thick, when i added the vasaline some hair didnt stick down and got pulled away(which was enevitably quite painful).so dear commenters wh are deciding to do this: although the plaster gauze didn't dry up my skin, it was ecedingly painful to remove, so unless you have the proper materials(a nice oil or vasolie as well), i would not recomend using this method.
Sorry for the english (french people)
Do you think it's possible to make a mix between the mask of the beginning int this video and the two-face makeup ?
I meen use it for make a "mask" usable many times.
Thanks !
This was very helpful thank you!
what is it u are dipping the plaster in before applying it to ur face??
It's just water :)
lol ok thanks :-)
I've seen comments saying that this is life threatening. Is there actually a safe way to do this type of thing because I just want to progress as I can't really make any prosthetics. 😔
I have a question. Would you be able to use ultra cal 30 for the face pour instead of plaster, so it's less brittle?
Could you let it dry on top of gently vibrating surface for like an hour or two at first so that it causes bubbles to rise to surface away from the face details? Or would that mess it up?
sHe's PRETTY! :D
thankk tou so much for sharing !! it's very helpful !!
