How To Make A Face Cast On Yourself At Home | GORE GUIDE

[@PrettyScary]

Hey Bonnie! I'm an experienced body caster and have a few tips that will make the process easier. Firstly, you should never need to leave the bandages on for over an hour, around 20 mins tops is usually the timeframe - even with larger torso casts. Using warm water to soak the bandages, and casting a warm room will help the setting process - so you were right to use a hairdryer for the warmth. Creating support ridges round the edge of the mould, and across the mould in a cross shape also helps - simply cut thinner strips of the bandage and smooth them on as 3D ridges - hope that makes sense! You're totally right to recommend the supervision, it can be a very disconcerting process, and it's good to have someone on hand - though the mould is so fast and easy to remove if you do feel uncomfortable - as you will have discovered. Though the main reason to have someone on hand is in case of fainting - this can be an issue when people are being cast, as they tend to hold their breath, or breath in a very shallow way. For this reason, casting sitting down is a good idea (so you don't hit the deck if you do faint). Ideally it's best to have someone else cast you - though I know this isn't always feasible. Also, filling the nose holes from outside of the cast will give a better result around the nose. simply mix a little alginate, and gentle press it against the nose holes on the outside. Hope this helps :). Love your vids x

[@PrettyScary]

PS - the vaseline step in the mould can be skipped, as plaster doesn't stick to alginate - so that will save you a little time and hassle. Also, ensure you leave your cast to dry for a few weeks before sealing, as moisture left inside the plaster can form mould at a later date :) x

Pretty Scary I attend a school for sfx called EI school of professional makeup and I couldn’t agree more and next time try to make to alginate thicker to cover all your impressions so you don’t end up with bubbles or cracks (:

[@f.k.burnham8491]

You can use a massage vibrator to get the air bubbles out quite easily. If you coat your brushes with liquid dish soap first, and let it dry before using, they can be reused. I have been able to re-use mine up to 6 X. You can also reinforce the plaster with pieces cut from old panty hose or nylons. That works like gangbusters.. Mine even survived a 4' fall to the floor without damage. The nylon pieces are also fantastic for reinforcing liquid latex. Best of all the nylons are free! I have been able to re-use my latex prosthetic of an alien forehead no less than 18 times with minimal degradation because of the reinforcing. Great videos. Please keep them coming.

[@BonnieCorbanSfx]

F.K. Burnham thanks for the tips, I've taken them on board 😊

[@f.k.burnham8491]

I should add, clean your brushes after using and re-coat them. Not as good as new, but quite usable. Your brand of dish soap can also make a difference. I would try several to find the one that works best for you. I have used Ivory and Dawn with good results.

[@goldbunny1973]

Excellent Tips.

[@catherinecarranza7224]

for the bald cap I found it pretty useful to actually have 1 coat of liquid latex on top of the bald cap for when we want to find the hairline it's super useful to have that line of separation, some people use sharpie but you can always sand the lines away. No perfect way but I found that more useful especially for extended molds

[@BonnieCorbanSfx]

Catherine Carranza thank you! Love this tip

[@cherrypieparker]

I should be sleeping now but that eye glitter gave me life ❤️

[@BonnieCorbanSfx]

Karen L. Haha thanks ♥️

[@jonasbartels1963]

honestly, she's far more attractive without the normal make-up. then she takes it to a totally different level with her character makeup

[@jonasbartels1963]

atleast in my opinion

[@4morochasy1rubia]

when i did this i used some alginate that specifically was slow drying so i had like 2 minutes till everything dry up and it was enough time to do my whole face in just one batch

[@BijouxVaudou]

Finally a self made face cast using alginate! I'm so fed up of seeing people use plaster bandages straight onto their faces! My only tip would be check your plaster bandages before getting to that step, I used some once that didn't get rock hard at all, even after hours of setting (I didn't know this until I went to take the face cast off, which was ruined because of crappy plaster bandages!)

[@BijouxVaudou]

Also - I bought a kit on Amazon for my facecast (didn't come with the bandages but did have everything else) - instead of plaster at the end it had "stone powder" which was similar to mix as plaster but super rock hard, I've dropped mine a lot and it's not broken haha. It's worth trying to find some of that because certain plasters aren't going to be as strong as others and all the hard work will be wasted!

[@bellaoverholt9073]

If you use enough layers of it (3+) and it is a half decent plaster bandage you should have no problems. Just be careful while removing.

[@noah.likes.horror]

I ordered plaster bandage for pregnant women, since it is skin safe

[@andrewinaction660]

I loved this and I feel like KZbin is showing me "Andrew, this is the right way to do a face cast video".

[@iluvthemadhatter421]

Thanks you for posting this!! I followed your tutorial and my life cast turned out amazing!!!💕💕💕

[@Anson120]

She looks good without makeup!

[@ktktoo8462]

I recently did this same thing where I ended up with a little tiny/thin face cast first and then went back and covered way more of my head so there was more space for the plaster. :)

[@esthersaylor5599]

Thank you thank you I have been looking for something like this. You are awesome thank you again

[@alexislejeune643]

I love the gore guide series so far! it's so informative!

[@benperez6332]

If you used spray varnish be it water based or oil based it would work. Although it would take a touch longer to dry it would give you even better results. I know about the spray cans of varnish since I have done this process before. As for the vanish, I would suggest oil based since it would help on keeping it more stable so it will not breaking up so easy if water is spilled on it. I may also suggest using watercolor pencils on marking your face and head so you can know your hairline. But also you can mark where your want the final negative mold would be when you are pouring to make it.

[@amandadoverspike2949]

Great video, but also OBSESSED with your makeup!

[@audrey-zb3kt]

I’ve been doing plaster face cast forever I’ve never used anything other than that. When you make a face cast you don’t need to cover your eyes till you’ve taken the plaster mold off.

[@CakesByChoppA]

Looks like fun!

[@lade2rex]

Last time I worked with a clear water based varnish to gloss the floor of a set we painted, it took our beautiful gradient white and blue checkered and turned it purple. /shivers/ I think I'll stick to wood glue for this project.. XD

[@murphchris5670]

Hi great tutorial. Is petroleum ok when making the plaster of Paris face mold?

[@jaxxmay7757]

Wow! This takes so much coordination! I've never seen someone do a facecast on yourself before! Man that dental alginate sets super quickly! Is there a different type of alginate that doesn't set so quickly? Looks great!

[@nicolelibelle2983]

Why are you using alginate at all? I dont know that material and I'm curious, if it is better to use this instead of just using plaster bands. I studied art and made a few masks myself a long time ago. I always used only plaster bands. It was for another purpose, but it worked really well! Even if I poured it out with liquid plaster. To protect my eyebrows and lashes, I put tiny pieces of toilet paper on them. This worked very well! By the way: I love you work! ❤

[@franklein4839]

I'm gonna try for sure! Thanks to share... ❤️

[@نجمعبداللهالزهيري]

Wow fantastic and beautiful

[@JarojoSobehn]

Could i wrap this in polymer clay to make a mask out of after making my cast? I was thinking if i put a layer of foil over it first i could coat that in the clay and easily remove the cast from the foil without ruining the shape of the clay, bake it, and then remove any imperfections with polymer glue or more clay before a final bake, after which could paint the outside

[@JarojoSobehn]

I mean the outside isnt going to show any features, the feature will be the design painted on it

[@drhannibelle]

I was planning on doing this today for home decor, but wasnt sure how then this video popped up haha. Did you get the Alginate in on eBay within Australia? I don't want to wait months for shipping to Melbourne, I'm damn impatient 😂

Do you have a link to the kit you used

[@PiiNi524]

Heyy, I have recently found your channel and I only have very bad products to work with.. Could you please recommend some starter kit or something to me? I would love to try making those amazing special effects! If there is no any good starter kit, could you recommend me a few most important products to get start with? Thank you!

[@ginger_artistry7088]

Piia Niskanen go watch glam and gore she has a great video for that

[@ignisking759]

Non - Pro Tip: If you don't feel like doing a'lot of work and it's the middle of the night, find some nearby bushes or or go below someones deck as you skulk about and dump your excess plaster there.

[@tikdoe7563]

Or just dump it in your OWN backyard on your own property... Or your garbage.

[@Monstamonkey]

I used a slightly wet mix of quick set cement with a squirt of bondcrete added for the cast. Lasts forever. DON'T PUT THIS ON YOUR FACE/SKIN!!

[@v.tsundere16]

Now im scared to do it :(

[@howehowe1276]

[@MYSTERIOMUSIK]

I know this is a very old video so I'm no expecting a response but how would you suggest I do this with a beard?

[@Brooklyn_Ann]

Another person used plastic wrap instead of a bald cap. I imagine you could try that. There won't be a way to get your chin shape right due to the beard, but it's better than nothing.

[@fpsyellow_ranger4815]

Hey Bonnie! I was wondering if this would be a useful technique for making my half mask a little more comfortable. I have this ghost of tsushima mask, its a hard solid heavy duty plastic and I want to convert it into a mask I can use while out in public. It's a little uncomfortable to wear without some padding.

[@MrCerebellum2]

Wouldn’t plaster gauze be way easier than alginate?

[@rowannyooom6958]

Are there any substitutes for alginate if we are trying to save money because we can't go to work due to quarantine?

[@Itz_ej]

Can I use a rubber manikin head instead

[@shahindezfouli5108]

How can I buy alginate like Michael Jackson face for making silicon mask from websites or Amazon?

[@daciasdiy1861]

Could you make it the color of your skin

[@ashleyjessup3004]

how long should you keep the alginate and plaster bandages on for

[@alexacaro2524]

Can you provide links for all/ some of the materials

[@ClaraGinoulhiac]

where can you buy alginate? btw I live in Portugal so...

[@GiGi-bs9re]

Hi bonnie❤

[@BonnieCorbanSfx]

Hi :)

[@ifthewickfitz]

can you link your bald cap you bought please?? when ever i order any online they're horrible and cheaply made at weirdly shaped even the one i spent 20 euro on :( you one looks perfect though :D

[@RebelmetalTX]

What if I forgot a release agent???

[@aw.create]

I was wondering do you think it possible to maybe make a complete head like counting the back of the head too and can you paint on it? I am asking this question because I am making my own movie on Elizabeth Short ( the black Dahlia) and for the beginning scene I have to make the dead fake body of her which will show have her cut in two the smile and everything so I been making that in my art class but I was wondering if I could make the head like this? what do you think?

[@venicebitch1688]

Ashley esquibel actually yes! But it's very dangerous to do alone and impossible. You will need a group of friends to help you cover your whole head evenly. Also there are much more realistic ways to creat a full body and head that are on KZbin that might be easier to do. Also that's a awesome idea super creative!

[@NightOwl_30]

you also need to do it in two pieces. Keep undercuts in mind. What they do is they have to sides, one for the back and one for the front because if you have one piece you can't take it off because the chin won't allow it to come off. Remove the two sides then attach them together again and fill it with plaster. You can even make a bust that way. If you see a line in the middle because of the gap between the two pieces just sand it down but make sure you wear a mask. Do not breathe it in. It's carcinogenic and it can also harden in your lungs.

[@zoekoops]

The alginate doesnt stick to my plaster :( The plaster comes right off & the alginate stays on my face

[@amallliiiaaa3104]

i can never get the mix right

[@zoekoops]

How do you do it?😂 I tried it and when I removed it, only the cast came off & the alginate was still stuck on my face😂

[@flour6808]

Zoë Koops if you add cotton fiber to the alginate before it hardens, it will adhere to the plaster much better!

[@duncanm20]

What are the ammounts of each product? @BonnieCorban

[@make-upmcgyver2812]

I don't quite understand why you would't just have someone do a proper impression of your face. it would only take about 20 minutes & you would have a good finished cast with very little clean up.

[@Wood-In-My-Eye]

I have a question for you amazingly beautiful people! After you make the cast. How do you make the mask? I’m trying to make a predator bust. I have the clay. I have the ability to sculpt. But what next? It’s so hard to find answers because I’m asking Google the wrong questions.

I think, you can talk slowly not soo fast like in a hurry. Your channel is being watched all over the world, some have a hard time to pick up fast talker person. If u can't have someone do the talking slowly. 😊 However i love your technique using alginate. 👍

[@skyefordham2827]

Hey Andy. You can change the timing on KZbin to slow it down 😊

[@Vanessa-ms2li]

[@luminitaoprescu3117]

Hello

[@oakenshadow6763]

The alginate they use to make the retainer molds really is nasty stuff. My Orthadontist thankfully uses a bubble gum flavored one so it isn't as bad. But the texture in your mouth. Just terrable. 4:05
