Prosthetic makeup professionals work with molds from beginning to end. They apply prosthetic alginate onto the actor's face to get an impression and then this impression is used to create the basic mold. Clay is then sculpted onto this mold to create the new artistic form, whether it is a scar, alien feature, fat, or wrinkles. Finally, after creating yet another mold from this sculpture, the makeup effects specialist pours in latex, which creates the actual prosthetic that is glued onto the actor's face or body.
