Technology
The process of creating a prosthetic device begins with lifecasting, the process of taking molds of body parts (often faces) to use as a base for prosthetic sculpting. Lifecast prints are made of alginate or newer prosthetic, from silicone rubber that is safe from the skin. These early prints are relatively weak and flexible. Maternal prints are hard, usually made of plaster or fiberglass bandages made on top of the initial mold to provide support.
Once a negative print has been made, it is immediately filled with cement gypsum, most often a brand called "Ultracal-30", to make the mold "positive". The prosthetic form is engraved on the clay above positive. The clay edges should be as thin as possible, because the clay is a standing place for what eventually becomes a prosthetic part. Along the edge of the mold, the "lock" or point of print is carved or carved into life, to ensure that both pieces of the mold will fit together properly. After brazing is complete, a second print is made. This provides two or more positive face-molded pieces, and one or more negative mold portions of the face with a prosthetic sculpture. All clays are carefully removed and the prosthetic material is thrown into the mold cavity. Prosthetic materials may be latex, gelatin, silicone or other similar foams. The prosthetic is healed in two parts of the mold - thus creating the start of the makeup effect.
One of the most difficult parts of prosthetic makeup is keeping the edges as thin as possible. They should be thin tissue so they are easy to blend and cover giving a perfect look.

Conflict with CGI
As the film/television industry continues to grow, so does the technological capabilities behind it. Since the debut of newer technologies, many are afraid that CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) will put the SFX makeup practically out of business. More can be done with CGI that can be done with makeup because some things are not possible when working in reality. Many views circulate about this.
Tom Woodruff Jr. and Alec Gillis, two experienced SFX artists from Amalgamated Dynamics near L.A., share what they see as a middle ground on the subject. In an interview, they explained that most films use (due to the need for) a combination of practical effects and CGI. They see CGI as a tool that can be utilized in a good way or a bad way, just like a practical effect. Tom Savini (SFX artist known for his work on Dawn of the Dead Creepshow ) stated: "They still use make-up to design creatures and that's what they work from. I do not think you'll see the makeup effect people hang around in the corners with signs saying: WOULD DO EFFECTS FOR FOOD . "
Industry
Makeup artists in the prosthetic industry or special effects makeup spend one full day of creative detail work. In order to have a successful work day and limited interruptions, the artist must be completely prepared with the material. Artists must be proficient in their knowledge of matter and processes. Production waits for actors to be fully clothed and ready. Being in the industry takes time and effort, being patient with the actors and working will pay off with hard work.
For example, Special Effect Artist Wesley Wofford began his career in prosthetics and special effects makeup by creating his own prosthetics and learning the basics of latex glue. Wofford's career started in Hollywood that taught him prosthetic techniques and work ethics. Wofford's hard work and time into the industry enabled him to create his own company and work with art in the way he started. Creativity is common in Hollywood, the challenge of being the most creative has earned him recognition and respect. Hard work in the industry allows future makeup artists to achieve their goals.
In the special securities industry it is important to have a Special Supervisor, not only supervisors in coordination with Art directors and production designers, they must ensure all their artists are in tune with time and creativity. Special Supervisors must ensure that everyone is safe on set, with pre-production and post-production. The Superintendent of Special Effects is the control of all SPX production, as in fog machines, lamps, and CGI. After all the departments are in sync with each other then production can start rolling.
Real World Usage
Special Effects Makeup is not only used in movies. The SFX branch called Moulage is the process by which makeup is used to simulate various injuries and traumas to prepare medical, emergency and military personnel for what they can experience in the field and reduce psychological trauma.
