2.)  This is a makeup I did on my girlfriend Aundrea.  It consists of a nose, forehead and two cheeks.  I glued all the appliances with Beta Bond Plus,  which I used for the first time and it worked very well for me. It smells better than Prosaide and seems to be thinner which is good because its easier to spread.  It didn't remove in clumpy pieces like Prosaide does.
3.) This is during the beard laying process on the cheeks which I used a self matted Telesis 5 Adhesive.  I removed the makeup with Super Solv Plus which smells nicer than any other remover I've used and it does the job well.  It didn't leave her sensitive skin oily afterwards - I was very satisfied.
4.)  I colored the entire makeup with the following Skin Illustrator colors:  Vein Tone, Olive Adjuster, Prime Yellow, Rice paper, Rose adjuster 2, Ultra blue and Espresso 1.   I also used two custom skin tone airbrush colors.  
5.)  I used Green Marble Concentrate mixed with Attagel for eyelids and neck. Finally, I sealed the makeup with Green Marble Selr Spray.
6.) Model Aundrea before the makeup.

7.)  Here is a shot of actor Chris Kelly before the "Sickboy" makeup application where he wears a gelatin nose, chin, cheeks, dentures, wig, and tattoos. The makeup was finally sealed with Green Marble.
8.)  "I airbrushed a thinned out mixture of Prime Yellow, White & Rice Paper in a broken up pattern on the face and appliances. I airbrushed a thinned out version of Rose 
Adjuster 2
and a touch of Ultra Blue to darken it.  Next I used a mixture of Golden Ochre and Espresso 1 thinned out with a little alcohol. Then a mist of Natural 1 and Rice Paper and a mist of Olive Adjuster 1 mixed with a touch of  Vein Tone. I  glued on the false tattoos and sealed with Green Marble.  I glued on the wig with Telesis 5 Adhesive.
9.)   "This makeup consists of  7 overlapping gelatin pieces that include a chin, cheeks, nose & upper lip, forehead, lower lip and neck.  The pieces were first sealed with Green Marble Sealer then I colored the pieces with Skin Illustrator airbrush liquids.  I first used Vein Tone, then Rice Paper, Rose Adjuster 2Lao 2  and lastly misted with Natural 1.   The makeup was sealed again with Green Marble."
