This makeup is an homage to two very influential makeups in my life. The 1925 Lon Chaney Phantom which has always been a iconic and a favourite makeup of mine. As well as, the Andrew Lloyd Weber musical version. This was the first prosthetic makeup I saw applied by my friend Liz Spetnagle in San Francisco back the late 90’s. I wanted to do a more clinical and less theatrical version of it. This is what I came up with. — Richard Redlefsen, @richardredlefsen
