ABSTRACT

Because this is a book on basic, not advanced techniques, we will not be covering the actual making of complicated latex prosthetics or facial hair pieces. For those advanced projects I recommend using one of the more all-inclusive texts. If you are performing in a production that requires you to wear false facial hair or a facial prosthetic, it is likely that either the makeup designer or the costume designer will be responsible for providing these; you may or may not be responsible for their application. Pre-made facial hair and latex prosthetics are also readily available to purchase at specialty costume shops and various websites.
