FAQs

Which adhesives perform best for prosthetics in high-movement roles?

For strong, flexible holds, use Telesis 8 Silicone Adhesive or Pros-Aide Original. Always pair them with a matching remover like Telesis Adhesive Remover or Super Solv (which has vitamin E) to prevent irritation for actors with sensitive skin.

What foundations work best for long-wear character makeup under heat and sweat?

Choose high-performance creams or alcohol-activated foundations, such as:

They deliver reliable coverage without slipping under hot lights or extended wear.

What are time-saving techniques and products for applying makeup with large groups of background actors?

Use airbrush systems with Temptu S/B or EBA Endura formulas for quick, even coverage. Prep all prosthetics ahead of time using pre-painted silicone appliances and organize your kit with labeled actor bags or trays.

Pro Tips:

  • Pre-paint appliances all the way up to a quarter inch from the edge so you have enough room to apply, finish painting the edge, and blend the edges. 
  • Use Pax Paint to pre-paint the base of appliances before application to reduce total paint time during application. Once the Pax Paint is dry, set with a loose powder to take away stickiness.

Which alcohol-activated palettes work best for character makeup in high-heat, high-sweat environments?

The Skin Illustrator On Set FX Palette and Reel Creations Primary FX Palette are industry standards. They stay intact through water, heat, and friction, and are perfect for action or stunt-heavy scenes.

Pro Tips:

Which adhesives provide the strongest hold for silicone or latex prosthetics on active performers?

Telesis 8, Snappy G, and Pros-Aide adhesives are ideal for high-movement performance. Use Cab-O-Sil thickener when you need texture control or gap filling.

Pro Tips:

  • Pros Aide on Pros Aide helps provide an even stronger hold. So, apply a layer directly on the skin before applying some more to the prosthetic and placing it down on the skin. 
  • When working with foam latex appliances, lightly blend the feathered edges with 99% alcohol using a Q-tip or a synthetic brush. Use Pros Aide to stipple and blend the edges.
