1.cut edge(near eyes,noses,cheeks,mouth&chin)
2.sculpture soak in water
3.remove it from positive cast
4.every 5 sculpture clay(near eyes,noses,cheeks,mouth&chin)place on every5 replica positive cast

now, cutting edge is exactly samething,
just divide a sculpture into 5 piece.
and, i`m sure that i have to make blend down the edge(5piece clay) for thin edge

how do i make every edge for overlapping application on the face as i blend down all around clay(5 piece).

Blue, when you cut the sculture into pieces, you want to have designed the sculpture so that the clay is naturally thin in those areas. For example. If you are going to seperate the forhead from the bridge of the nose and the sides of the face you will need to make your sculpture become thinner in those areas. It is part of designing an overlapping appliance make up. It you decide to seperate the forhead but the clay is thick in that area it will be much more diffecult to make appliances that overlap and seem like one piece. You don't have to add to the border of the pieces that you cut apart. Just put them on new positives and feather the edges. When you feather the edges, they will naturally cover more area than the piece did before you feathered the edge.. You don't need much overlap. In some cases it may be advantageous to have no overlap but let's not talk about that now.. I hope this helps. You seem very interested in make up.. I suggest that you check out Burman industries and order some videotapes on doing multi-piece prosthetics.. If I have time I will put together a tutorial that explains the process with illustrations.

I use Pros Aide for glueing and blending foam appliances. I don't usually mix any Cab-o-sil into it. Instead, I use several stipple applications. If you make good appliances the edges will not be much of a problem.

As far as coloring goes. Well, that is part of the art of make up.. I suggest that you use several skin tones that are similiar to each other. Practice coming up with uneven patterns that look natural. Make a base color then take some of it and add some red to it. Take some of the base color and add some blue to it. Take some base color and add some white to it. Once you come up with a good looking basic skin coloration, start painting with other colors such as burnt umber under the eyes and shades of red. Study human skin and you will notice that it looks like a road map of colors. Train your eye to see the colors seperately and you will be on your way to understanding skin..
