Thanks for this! I've watched so many videos on life casting but I've never been able to find one that explains how to do the rod part or what to use for it. Also, so much yes to the sculpting video. You explain things in a way that makes it so much easier to understand and retain 🙂
Oh please do a sculpting video!! I love doing fx makeup and I really want to get into making masks and more prosthetics, and your videos are very informative. Love your work!
Take as many art classes that you can especially color theory, painting and sculpting. Study Anatomy. Study nature. Look up other makeup artists that you admire and study their work. Oh and practice, lots and lots of practice. That should give you a pretty good start. :D
This was an answer to a prayer! Thank you! Quick question: How is this with clay release? I made a cast once (nothing like this) and the clay (polymer) bonded to the cast. How could I prevent that?
You cast a polymer clay with silicone? I have not done that before. I have cast silicone over chavant clay, which is oil based, and it was totally fine.
goldiestarling No, I'm sorry. I followed another tutorial and used the bandages and then plaster of Paris for the positive. The clay stuck to the finished plaster.
This is incredibly helpful! I made my old lifecast out of Plaster of Paris, do you think this is good, or should I get some ultracal 30 for when I remake it?
Darling, as always an inspiration. If you ever open your own business I would like to work for you. In the mean time if you know any fabulous gay men who like drag queens who walk the wild side of life? Send them my way, we then can collaborate after I move closer. Lol

I'm already getting excited for your Halloween videos! (Assuming you'll be doing them... oh god please do!)
Every time I watch your videos I am reminded of just how much I enjoy doing SFX and learning as well. :)
That is really awesome to hear! Thank you!
Thank you so so much for this tutorial! Your videos are absolutely amazing and inspire me extremely! I hope you win the NYX Face Awards!
WOW! Your mold making skills are top notch
The acryl 60 paste is totally awesome! Really glad to hear that this is helpful :D
goldiestarling totally! 😁👍
I loved this two videos!! Please do a sculpting one! it would be so helpful ❤️
You are awesome! I tried making face casts but I haven't mastered it. Appreciate you making these videos! Thank you!
Glad you found it helpful
goldiestarling thanks for replying!!!!!!! You're my inspiration! Thanks again!
Great video! Keep up the amazing work and make sure to keep uploading!
Thank you! :D
electrical conduit might be a less expensive alternative to the shower rod. the metal is also a bit thinner so it should be easier and faster to cut.
Please do more of these!
Still wished you showed how you made that jack Nicholson joker prosthetic
Congrats on top 12 ☺
Awesome video !
Congratulations on Winning SyFy's game face.
There's a tool that you can use to easily cut metal tubes - it's called a tube cutter (!). A lot easier than sawing.
i want to do SF makeup just like u do and other types of makeup.
got any tips

Definitely get Ultracal! Plaster of paris is soft and can be scraped and damaged while sculpting. Ultracal is a cement and super durable.
Thanks Angie!
Now that you got a positive face, what do you do with it?
Thanks for sharing your amazing skills with is
can i use cement instead using plaster
1000th like xPP
Хорошие материалы , много сил - результат плохой
Always wet burlap first, them ring it out before dipping in plaster.

There are much easier tutorials out there that work the same and have the same results, just saying
Jimins Balls This is how I was taught at school and the results are worth the effort.
