What this video covers

Makeup artist Madeyewlook recreates the haunting look of the Insane Child from the video game Alice Madness Returns using a combination of prosthetic wax, spirit gum, and professional-grade face paints. The tutorial walks through building dimensional texture with modeling wax before layering color using the Skin Illustrator FX palette and Graftobian Pro Paints. The finished look captures the character's unsettling, distorted aesthetic with a dark, editorial edge. A wig styled to match the game's character completes the transformation.

Key takeaways

  • Graftobian Modeling Wax is used to build prosthetic-style dimensional texture directly on the skin
  • Spirit gum secures wax elements and requires a dedicated remover for safe cleanup
  • The Skin Illustrator FX Palette is the primary color tool, layered with Graftobian Pro Paints for depth
  • A pale concealer base establishes the character's ghostly complexion before color work begins
  • The look is inspired by a dark video game character, making it a strong Halloween or cosplay option
