What this video covers

Madeyewlook's Alexys Fleming delivers a full character transformation into Edward Scissorhands, covering both the iconic pale scarred face and the ornate black collar. The tutorial combines prosthetic adhesion techniques with strategic foundation mixing and eyeshadow contouring to capture the film character's signature look. Metallic silver powder is used to bring the decorative collar detailing to life with a painted, costume-accurate finish.

Key takeaways

  • Mehron and Graftobian products are combined to achieve the chalky, scarred skin tone
  • Spirit gum and Fixative A are used to apply prosthetic or extra-flesh texture elements
  • Foundation is custom-mixed with white pro paint for the character's pale complexion
  • Metallic silver powder with mixing liquid creates a convincing metallic sheen on the painted collar
  • The tutorial covers both face and costume collar for a complete character look
