Learn how to prep, apply, paint, and finish a Terminator-inspired prosthetic makeup with Academy Award-winning makeup artist Steve LaPorte (Terminator 2 & 3, Beetlejuice, The Lost Boys).

In Part 2 of this 2-part course series, Steve takes you step by step through the process of prepping the silicone and urethane prosthetics, applying them to an actor, and then finishing the battle-damaged cyborg look with hair laying and detail painting in a film-quality homage to the iconic makeup that he and Jeff Dawn helped create in collaboration with Stan Winston Studio for Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
