Great build up! Acrylic nails work amazing as fake teeth. Cut them up in various shapes and build latex up onto them. Super realistic! Cheers!
...this is probably the only tutorial that makes me want to get liquid latex.
and you really show how this can be used to make a whole prosthetic. Cool!
(I've only ever seen people make little patches on their face with some toilet paper. nothing extreme)
A-mazing! For some reason I thought the piece done without the life-cast would be less succesful, but I liked it even more, in that he could open his mouth. Just inspiring stuff. Thanks.
It does - which is great for durability. It pulls out quite easily if you massage an oily makeup remover (or even Vaseline/petroleum jelly) into it first. Oils break down the rubber and it will flake out rubbing it with a wet wipe.

stuart! this is amazing! pure brilliance, I adore the art of latex appliances.
Very cool tutorial Stuart, I think we all get so carried away with silicone these days, that we forget just how cool and versatile latex is. Great work and effect.
Stuart, this is the best tutorial on utube. This was perfect for my costume. Nice work man...
Wow this is a amazing step by step video! It makes me wanna take a coarse in this!! I have always had a huge interest in this never realized how easy it could be with proper instructions.
i like the 1st one because of the detail but the second one was more suitable and blended better with his skin. some scar wax could have been used to blend the edges but none the less, great work
This is fantastic! I have never seen the method for the teeth before and I will try to use this in the future! Thanks so much!
You are a true artist. this is fantastic.
I love seeing the two different ways to do the effect! Amazing work!!
I have just discovered my dream career. what a great job and amazing work by the way
I am sure it would.
So long as it dries flexible, and returns to it's shape once stretched it should work. Most standard latex is 'pre-vulcanised' latex, and has been treated to snap back into shape when dry.
The latex used in foam latex is a high-solids latex with less water, and doesn't really snap back - it kinds stays stretched out so needs baking (which 'vulcanises' the rubber).
You would have to track that down tho, you won't likely get that by accident so don't worry!
Thanks - I like to explain things in a way that I would have wanted to have it broken down. For some that is too involved and detailed, but that's what I like.
Absolutely - the thing was just to show a process and people can make it their way to suit their tastes.
Often I find exposed teeth make-ups can look too pronounced, as the teeth are actually inside the head behind the cheek and not on the surface of the skin. The trick is to give the appearance of depth without building out too far.
@coolprincessnot - depends on the ambient temperature of the room. Ideally do all the latexing and pop it into a warm airing cupboard or build up in layers and use a hairdryer. I usually leave the latex overnight, as the saturated tissue and cotton wool absorb a large quantity of latex.
you're awesome! thanks for showing how you did it without the lifecast :). definitely trying this out soon!
This is beyond amazing. Well done.
Hi - I would suggest getting some Pros Aide and mix that with acrylic as that is all that PAX is, and if you want to stick things on skin the Pros Aide is the best price and quality compromise.
Colouring latex with acrylic will work, although it doesn't bond to the skin or create as thin a layer as Pros Aide. It will peel away more easily which is ok if u don't need it to last all day!
Wash the blood off under water and allow to dry naturally. Store it somewhere flat or on scrunched tissue.
def one of my favorite UA-cam channels, keep it up!
this is awesome finally an easy way to make my own prosthetic :) thanks a lot
I am so doing this for Halloween! I am hoping to study prosthetic makeup after I graduate high school this year and will be watching the rest of your videos soon :)
I do - I have pulled many a prosthetic off in the past. However, using an oily makeup remover will help.
Indeed you could, this is by no means a final, definitive or prescriptive method. Mix and match, stir it up and make it your own. You can buy acrylic teeth used to make dentures too - go crazy.
Just make sure to hide the bodies well afterwards.
Thank you so much ! i have 7 friends to do for Zombiecon this weekend but i have no life casts on any of them,i was going to do your basic boils & hanging flesh but this vid gives me some great ideas....thanks as always for the inspiration ! brassybritt...
Acrylic paint - it's in the What You Will Need list (unlike the latex which I somehow omitted). 00:33
Yup. When I make pieces for films, a loooot of effort goes into that, as you will see if you check out the Coraline Button Eyes vids I did. This was specifically a down n' dirty cheap thing which almost anyone can do, so the perfect finish is not the am.
For that, you sculpt, make moulds etc. which requires a lot more skill, materials and time. This was an easy entry-level fun thing.
Try wool and other varying thickness threads. Stretch them out first on a board (maybe tack pins into the board) and pull them tight first, then paint layers of latex onto them.
nice tip for using latex - sometimes (It's rare, put it CAN happen) if you leave each layer a little too long before putting more latex on, it can 'de-laminate' meaning the layers separate from each other... to stop this, rub a bit of lemon juice onto the area you're building up. The citric acid in the juice etches slightly into the latex... giving a much better surface for new latex to be applied
Yup, I'll bet you could. No need for tissue as much, as the gelatine has the body and thickness that takes much longer to build up in latex. It melts and dissolves with water, so isn't as durable but it would work.
Stuart
nice choice of music to go with very informative material
this is amazing! I'm doing something similar for halloween and I had never thought to actually make the teeth out of latex! brilliant idea! thanks :D
Thanks - will do! I like making them.
-Stuart
You can use silicone such as Plat Sil Gel silicones or Sculpt Gel /Third Degree. These cost more, but that is the trade off.
Liquid latex. I added a thickener to speed up the process hence the appearance of bubbles, but without that you just need a few extra layers.
Stuart
@XxWeccaxX Cool - thanks for checking it out. You can do some nice stuff with latex - I love it despite the silicone revolution.
-Stuart
So long as it was an oil based modelling clay such as plasticine, then yes, although usual moulds for latex are plaster as the plaster absorbs the water in latex which helps the drying. A beep blob of latex in plasticine will take a long time to dry.
If you use water based clay then it may not work well at all as latex has a lot of water and may just turn into a sludgy mess.
-Stuart
I really enjoyed this. Thanks for the great tips!
Not really - depends on facial hair but the main issue is the time it takes to dry it. I left it for a few days to dry out, so it will be a long process to direct apply. You can build it up in layers, using a blow drier between each layer but that stick takes a long time.
I was raised with foam latex, as it was the material of choice when I started. It is rather impractical for most people as it requires a dedicated mixer and oven. It is great for body suits and large pieces where weight is an issue and opacity isn't, but silicone is quicker, easier and more like skin.
-Stuart
Usually, face casts are taken to make custom appliances so you can't easily find them to buy. You can buy a head form from somewhere like BITY in Texas, or try Monster Makers.
You can take a lifecast using materials such as alginate and plaster etc, but I wouldn't suggest you try that without some instruction. It is easy to screw it up.
-Stuart
This is sooo inspiring! Thanks so much for doing this and sharing!
About half an hour of work, and then a few days to dry, depending on your ambient work room temperature. In Texas in summer, not long. In Sweden in winter, you'll need heating. Cost - depends on where you buy it - Google that.
As to what you need, it's all in the video.
It is sturdy in and of itself, but the issue will be perspiration which can loosen the adhesion to the skin, and if you pull faces etc. then that will exacerbate it.
You can use stronger glues such as Telesis and Pros Aide, but naturally these will cost more.
So long as you don't compromise your vision or any necessary head movements in order to remain in control of your board, I see no safety issue. Please email pics - I would love to see a skateboarding zombie featured in a blog post.
Making it can take as much time as you like - this probably took an hour at a leisurely pace. Then letting it dry takes a day or three, depending on the ambient temperature of where you work.
Application took about 1/2 hour, but you could slap this on in less than five if everything is to hand. The more time you spend on it then the better it can look.
No, it just saves time during application if most of the colouring is done in advance. It is a habit I have from making multiple pieces for shows which need matching paint jobs, and when actor time in the chair is a priority.
muitoooooooooooooooooooooooo foda!!! um dos melhores make q eu já vi
Thank you so much for this video! Been searching high and low for this exact tutorial! :D
I really loved this video. Very cool. Please keep making more videos!!!!
I'm actually attempting this process and it's working well,long process but worth it.
Yeah, I am sure that would work ok. The proportions on those heads are usually anatomically unreal, but what you could do is make a map of the appliance shape on a face by marking it through some plastic held against the face.
Transfer that onto the styrofoam head and you can be more confident where it will sit on the face.
wow dope ...love how u explain everything man..
That kicks so much ass nice work its fairly priced and easy to do
A little late responding, but yes, if you peel it off the cast to be able to apply, there is no reason why you cant remove it carefully to be reused again later. You may need to use alcohol to clean the back of any remover oils etc but it is perfectly doable.
I love these shorter tutorials :-)
Just do more - build up the skull areas you wish to see, then surround that with the flaps of skin which would have been peeled or torn away to have revealed it. That is much easier to do on a lifecast, but if you don't have a lifecast and do it on a board instead (as in the video) then do several smaller pieces rather than one huge one.
It is much easier to fit several small pieces than one huge flat one on a curved surface like the face.
-Stuart
Thank you so much for these videos and the tutorials! :)
Very amazing to watch, Thank you.
that is absolutely GRUESOME!
@AngelicaHeartt Just some furniture board. So long as the surface is non porous, almost anything will do. I think a ceramic tile would be fine. See if a hardware store or tile shop would have a slightly-damaged large tile which they'll give you, maybe.
-Stuart
Oily makeup removers break down the latex and help it release. It doesn't just fall off, but most prosthetics involve a degree of discomfort.
It can, so take care. Using an oily makeup remover will help, as these tend to break down the latex. Ideally, you premake an appliance and use a prosthetic adhesive on hair which has been flattened down prior to application. If necessary, then lay hair (or a hairpiece) over the edge to blend in with existing hair.
This requires a fair bit of skill and expense, and consequently is not covered in a 'Cheap'n'Easy' tutorial.
@10AliceSmith18 Hi - you only talc when removing the thing off from the cast or board so the dried latex doesn't stick to itself.
Ideally you really need tissue paper as it readily absorbs the latex and conforms easily to whatever shape it is placed on. Notebook paper would be too stiff and wouldn't absorb it!
-Stuart
I'm sure that would be ok - especially that a flat board will even work!
Well, the actual item itself will last for years but when applied, the join where it is attached to the skin becomes more obvious as the skin moves more that the piece - hence the blood to help break up the edge.
Re-sticking it when it lifts will help - make-ups on movies need constant maintenance to look good.
Excellent tutorial.
This is absolutely gruesome. I love it.
Do that! That would be really cool!
I will be making something like this for this Halloween based on this video hope it comes out decent for it will be my first time doing this
Remember that prosthetics can only add, not take away. To create an illusion of 'subtraction', you need to create the deepest tissues on the surface of the skin, and build upwards without creating too much bulk.
Ideally, you want to sculpt a prosthetic or make something like this cheek piece, but with muscle showing. Remember also the new version is a digital model, so anything is possible - there are no physical limitations on a computer generated image.
-Stuart
Well, you could but it would be much less flexible, but certainly...it would be like a solid plastic prop that just sits there but for what would essentially be a small section of mask it would work!
Melamine faced chip board or furniture board. The stuff cheap shelving is made of.
WOW!! Too cool! Ur so talented! Thanx for the great video :D
It looks so amazing, I learnt alot watching this. Just a seggestion, I personally thought you overkilled the fake blood. Try a little less blood so it kinda looks like hes decaying :)
Nice work man!
amazing work!
Tanks for the tutorial I was ussing in the zombie walk in México :)
you just helped me so much
@TirehtooriOfficial Pretty reusable , actually. The edges may get damaged when you remove, but they are easily fixed with latex when you reapply!
-Stuart
Soak it in an oily remover as you go, and it pulls off pretty easily. Or try yanking it off quick, like a band-aid. Yow!
I love your videos. I've watched just about everything UA-cam has in the way of prosthesis making, and yours are some of the most professional. Do you have any advice for making muscle material showing underneath the skin? I've tried to roll cotton into thin strings and then dipped them in latex to make strands. The width is not consistent though.
I love it! Thanks!
Of course - although prosthetic gelatine costs more that latex and tissue paper. I guess it depends on how much your latex costs, but prosthetic grade gelatine is usually not dirt cheap. However - if you already have the gelatine but would have to buy latex, then I guess it would cost more for you to do so.
esta super fregon se ve real felicidades
Damn it. I wish I would have seen your video before it was 2 days till Halloween. Damn that is awesome.
people that disliked this are haters cause this was pretty cool and he gave two methods for people with or with out proper material
brilliant again, thank you so much Stuart! Love it. I've been looking for a good cheap way to make teeth for a while, and I love how simply you did it! Can't believe I didn't think of that! haha Take's a genius eh? ;)
Thanks again :)
Trabajo en eso ahora!
love this video!
This is F-ing amazing, freakin great work!
This definitely wasn't easy, but it's a great tutorial. Loved it.
@nattatack yes, silicone works great. I have done a DVD on sculpt gel, a silicone paste as well as vids on BITYs YT channel. That is more expensive, and this is a cheap and cheerful alternative. Better products cost more!
Yup.
Great vid .. thanks for the tips.
Absolutely in love with this, but it was a bit of a cop out to cover the thick edges with fake blood.
your really good at making stuff :)
That is a huge question that I can't fit into the wordcount of this box. Pay goes up with experience and ability but be aware that it is really difficult industry to make a living wage at. Getting a first job is tough, lots of competition and you need to have the right kind of attitude. It is a creative job (so very oversubscribed as it is appealing) but you have to be creative within the industrial environment, time constraints and to the clients desires rather than your own. It is hard!
PAX paint (acrylic paint mixed with Pros Aide). 00:36
lol at all the peeps saying about the facial hair situation... i have had a moustache and a goatee beard for at least 5 years and i have had about 20 facial transformations using liquid latex on my skin and i must say ... there was i little pulling but it was not extremely painful ... like all these peeps think .. (was more painfull having my back waxed in a salon ) lol .. so go on all you guys with facial hair .. give this a go this Halloween!!!
btw awesom vid stu *****
