ARREST TRUMP TRENDING

You're flatly wrong about that timeframe. In the early 1970's I happen to have studied with master Makeup artist Dick Smith who pioneered prosthetics as we know them today. If you've never heard that name, better look it up before you try to doubt my words.

Dick literally took those old "latex masks" to an entirely new level but despite what you may imagine from 1960's MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE reruns, even he couldn't create something that would easily slip over someone's head to fool anyone standing just 8' away. That kind of detailed prosthetic work still takes hours to apply and each one must be custom-made, and they're expensive to create. The work Dick did on Dustin Hoffman for LITTLE BIG MAN is still considered a bench-mark for excellence but it too required 4-1/2 hrs to apply -in sections- required months of R&D and cost thousands of dollars to develop.

There simply is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to such makeups. PERIOD. And yes: I did that kind of work myself just about 40 years ago. Casts must still be taken of the wearer's face, the new one modeled on that and then cast again to create the prosthetic overlays.

And even today with the new -and far more realistic- silicone compounds, that old process hasn't changed one bit! A $100 over-the-head-ready-made mask may fool surveillance cameras for a fast 7-11 heist or work for a Halloween party, but if you see one up close they are VERY obvious and wouldn't fool a blind man.

While Foamed latex had been around in the movie industry since the mid-1930's -when tire-manufacturer Dunlop created it for industrial use- it was very crude, heavy and largely immobile when worn before those cameras and it remained so into the 1950-60's. It wasn't until around 1968 that BF Goodrich formulated new foam latex compounds that Dick Smith used in the years following and thus changed the entire movie industry.

And there's not a single professional makeup artist around today that would dispute anything I've written above.
