Foamed Latex has been the material of choice for the special effects designers in the film industry for decades. For any of those who have previously donned the traditional mask, this is a different experience. Foam is soft, flexible and porous enough to let limited air and sweat pass through while mirroring the exaggerated expressions of the actors face beneath. However, in order for the appliance to function as a second skin, it must be thin and firmly adhered in place in order to allow the foam appliance to stretch and fold in accordance to facial muscle motion. Secondly, in order for the illusion of a second skin to be believable, You should start with a Blank Appliance and the edges then must be carefully blended and the exposed skin colored to match the foam appliance.The success of this illusion relies on careful, patient procedure which will yield wonderfully believable results.
