What is Disguise

Transformation changes one's appearance, and the so-called disguise is the art (art) of changing a person's appearance.

In some novels or movies, there are often descriptions of the art of disguise, which often involves turning around and transforming into the appearance of another person. This is not entirely true. A person has to turn into another person. This is possible, but it is impossible in a short period of time, and it requires the complete cooperation of the person being disguised. Therefore, the ancient theories of disguise are mostly exaggerated, and given the technical level at that time, it was impossible to make a simulated "human skin mask".

The Development of Disguise

Science can create many miracles. Today, the ancient theory of disguise is no longer a strange thing. It has become a specialized art. Technology, also known as "sculpture makeup." This kind of makeup is different from medical plastic surgery, because its changes are temporary and can be restored; not only that, this kind of makeup is also different from ordinary "makeup". "Plastic makeup" is a kind of influence on the makeup artist's ability. A great test, because it requires the makeup artist to be an artist and a sculptor.

Our country has been studying plastic makeup since 1950, but there is still a certain gap compared with foreign countries. The process of plastic makeup is the same internationally. The difference is the materials used. The materials in the United States are better than ours. Theirs are softer and more realistic.

Revealing the Secret of Modern Disguise

Modern Disguise, that is, "shaping makeup" generally requires the following steps:

1. Pour out a shade Mold

First of all, you need to pour out a plaster model. If it is a whole body, you need to pour a whole body model. If it is a certain part, you need to pour a model of this part. Before the cast is cast, the person being "disguised" should first apply a layer of oil on his or her face to make the facial skin smoother, and wrap the head with plastic wrap to prevent the plaster used to cast the cast from sticking to the hair. In addition, before applying plaster to the face, you must apply Vaseline oil on key parts such as eyebrows and eyes to prevent facial hair from being pulled out when it is removed. When plaster is applied to the face, the actor must close his eyes, and the nose is connected to the outside world through two plastic tubes to prevent the plaster from blocking the nostrils. Since a person will not be able to speak after a plaster is applied, paper and pen must be placed in front of him. This is the only effective way to express himself in an emergency. This time lasts about an hour, so most people need to close their eyes and relax their facial expressions before doing the cast until they can adapt. For the makeup artist, it is necessary to support his head with his hands, because the plaster is very heavy and the burden on the cervical spine will be significantly increased. After the plaster is added and hardened, carefully remove it. The plaster model is about three to four centimeters thick. Looking from the inside, the nose and mouth are concave, which is called a negative mold.

2. Turn out a real plaster image of the human face on the negative mold

Only the negative mold is not enough, you also need to turn out a real plaster image of the human face on the negative mold. Specifically, you first brush soapy water inside the female mold to clean the inside, then pour plaster into the mold, and after it solidifies, remove the female mold, so that you can turn out a plaster statue that is exactly the same as a person's face. .

The previous two steps can also be replaced by another method, using highly realistic three-dimensional computer statues (made by computer sculptors based on 1:1 photos of people) and sculpted by makeup artists. statue. However, the degree of realism of the statue formed in this way is reduced, and it can be 90% like at most.

3. Use plastic mud to correct the plaster

At this time, you can use oil mud to make certain modifications on the plaster statue to make it more realistic.

4. Final model

This time, instead of pouring plaster into the second plaster mask, plaster was added to the outside of the mask. For example, if you immerse your face in water, the model will be this part of the water. Before putting on the plaster, you need to make a wall close to the mask. The height of the wall must be higher than the tip of the mask's nose, and then pour plaster into the wall. After about a week, when the plaster is dry, the plaster mask is gently cracked, and the final model is ready.

5. Blow molding to make a mask

Next, mix a white milky liquid called "silica gel" with foundation evenly and apply it on the inside of the model. After it dries, use tweezers to lift it up to make the final mask that is affixed to the face, which is the prototype of the so-called "human skin mask".

6. Polishing, coloring and further processing

Use a liquid polisher to carefully polish and color, and glue eyebrows, beards, etc. to finally form a highly simulated "human skin mask" .

Strictly speaking, to create a highly simulated "human skin mask", from the initial molding to completion, it takes 10 days or even months depending on the situation. The mask can be a whole or a part.

This kind of highly simulated "disguise" requires very high production technology and the production process is quite troublesome, so it is generally expensive and is therefore far away from our lives, so "disguise" A mysterious thing to most people.

There are also some simple "disguise techniques" that can achieve magical effects when combined with makeup.
