Don’t throw away a prosthetic because of a few air bubbles! 👀

Small imperfections happen—even on professionally made transfer appliances. Instead of starting over, you can patch those tiny voids and save both time and materials.

In this reel, I show how I use Pros-Aide Cream to fill air bubbles and repair transfer prosthetics before application. Because Pros-Aide Cream is a water-based adhesive, it can be easily smoothed and blended with a little water while you’re working, making it one of the most versatile products in my SFX makeup kit.

These little tricks are the kinds of techniques that can make a huge difference whether you’re working on set, building your portfolio, or creating makeup at home.

You don’t always need prosthetics to create realistic film injuries 🩸

For this look, I start by designing the injuries in Procreate on the iPad, then I printed them as temporary tattoo transfers. After applying the tattoos to the skin, I enhance the effect with a little color work and gel blood to bring the injury to life.

This is a fast technique often used in film and television makeup when you need convincing injuries without the prosthetics.

The part no one sees: the prep 🔥

Before burn prosthetics ever hit the skin, this is the work that makes them believable.

🎨 Pre-painting silicone appliances
🔥 Burning & weathering wardrobe
🩸 Building soot, dirt & trauma into the story

Realistic burn makeup starts long before application.

They say the wand chooses the wizard — but in this case, the makeup did.

🧙‍♂️ Transforming into Dumbledore!
Watch as I take on the ultimate wizard transformation — building a full character and old-age makeup look inspired by Professor Dumbledore from Harry Potter! From running the appliances and applying silicone prosthetics to painting lifelike details, this process shows the magic that goes into every FX creation.
🎨 This is more than makeup — it’s character creation brought to life through professional prosthetic work and attention to detail.
