They can be made from materials like latex and silicone to subtly alter features or transform appearances. Adhesives like prosthetic glue are used to apply prosthetics, which artists then color and blend to look realistic. Facial prosthetics are used in theater, film, television, and increasingly for everyday alterations of personal features.

    This article is about entertainment or recreational use. For medical use, see Craniofacial
    prosthesis.
    A facial prosthetic or facial prosthesis is an artificial device used to change or adapt
    the outward appearance of a person's face or head.
    When used in the theatre, film or television industry, facial prosthetic makeup alters a
    person's normal face into something extraordinary. Facial prosthetics can be made from
    a wide range of materials - including galatine, foam latex, silicone, and cold foam. Effects
    can be as subtle as altering the curve of a cheek or nose, or making someone appear
    older or younger than they are. A facial prosthesis can also transform an actor into any
    creature, such as mythical creatures, animals and others.
    To apply facial prosthetics, Pros-Aide, Beta Bond, Medical Adhesive or Liquid Latex is
    generally used. Pros-Aide is a water-based adhesive that has been the "industry
    standard" for over 30 years. It's completely waterproof and is formulated for use with
    sensitive skin. It is easily removed with Pros-Aide Remover. BetaBond is growing in
    popularity among Hollywood artists who say it's easier to remove. Medical Adhesive has
    the advantage that it's specifically designed not to cause allergies or skin irritation. Liquid
    Latex can only be used for a few hours, but can be used to create realistic blends from
    skin to prosthetics.
    After application, cosmetics and/or paint is used to color the prosthetics and skin the
    desired colors, and achieve a realistic transition from skin to prosthetic. This can be done
    by the wearer, but is often done by a separate, trained artist.
    At the end of its use, some prosthetics can be removed simply by being pulled off. Others
    need special solvents to help remove the prosthetics, such as Pros-Aide Remover (water
    based and completely safe) for Pros-Aide, Beta Solv for Beta Bond, and medical
    adhesive remover for medical adhesive.
    Prosthetic make-up is becoming increasingly popular for everyday use. This kind of
    make-up is used by people who wish to significantly alter their features.[1]

    Problems[edit]
    Being exposed to high temperatures can cause problems when wearing prosthetics.
    Glues that were sturdy at normal temperatures can become less effective under heat.
    This could lead to prosthetics falling apart or peeling from the skin.
    Higher temperatures can cause sweating which can also affect the durability of the
    prosthetics. The negative effects of sweating can be prevented by cleaning the skin well
    with 99% alcohol before applying the adhesive. Another way to ensure that the facial
    prosthetics stay on once they have been applied is to treat the skin with an anti-
    perspirant beforehand.[2]
