1st prosthetic appliance notes / reflection 

 

Refill mould, fill nose more and made edges neater and smaller 

Buy white sponges / sfx face paint - ben nye ( bb cream didn’t take to the prosthetics snd blend well ) add more shadows and dark in nostrils 

Lay smoother/ flatter edges - thinner layers of latex (apply with sponge) 

Making clay prosthetic from the start smaller and make it fit face better - lips may work better ?

Find model with gap in teeth - slick woods inspired
