Prosthetic makeup refers to the application of prosthetic pieces onto a person's face or body to alter their appearance significantly. Prosthetic pieces are typically made out of materials such as foam latex, silicone, bondo, or gelatin. Oftentimes, these materials are chosen for their own individual qualities, foam latex for its lightweight and versatility, silicone for its translucency and durability, bondo for its fast application, or gelatin for its cost-effectiveness.
