Amber Adams Makeup

Last year I was lucky enough to be on ‘Evil Dead Burn’ with my beloved, Tristan Lucas. We spent months over in New Zealand working for Makeup Designer, Jane O’Kane. This is a handful of molds & pieces we worked on from the prosthetics workshop. Lots of multiple & overlapping appliances, a few collapsible necks & a tonne of epoxy & silicone. New Zealand is a beautiful country with fantastic crew - plus we got to spend our weekends visiting every Lord of the Rings location we could drive to. Sculptures by McGregor Allen, Shay Lawrence & Dan Perry. All materials from Barnes New Zealand & Rowe Advanced Materials.

Pregnant belly application on SAMM WARD for ‘The F Ward’ series out now on Stan.. I did the pre paint on two beautiful foam 9 month pregnant bellies from Prosthetic Catalog. I applied & painted the first day Samm wore this for shooting with Makeup By Ange assisting. Thanks to HoD Rosemary Saffioti & team for having me on.

Mortal Kombat II was a tough job & (along with some others from the Prosthetics team) not receiving a credit has been quite sad. Baraka was a challenging character but we were fortunate that .bloomfield was an absolute legend to work with & the main application team of , & myself were a strong team; despite the challenges we faced. Please check out the last slide of .bloomfield singing Wheatus’ ‘Teenage Dirtbag’ in full costume & makeup to get a vibe of his charming presence.

Baraka meant 01:30am call times & a 4 hour makeup, followed by his stunt double in the exact same level of makeup. 8 hours later, we would step on to set for a full day of filming. Post-wrap, & I would seam & pre-paint all the pieces for the next day, while had the task of casting & gluing all of the teeth in a very specific order.

For his arm blades, made carbon fibre plates with embedded rivnuts & cast fibreglass copies of his bone blades. These bolted through to the rivnuts, through a prosthetic that blended off at the wrist & elbow. The blades were a 3D print pulled a quick silicone mold off, which was also used for casting soft foam versions. I painted them up to best match the hero set.

Our whole workshop team was under the pump & it was great to have friends you can rely on when you need it - , , , , & .scot. Talented bunch of professionals!

It could be an incredibly stressful environment at times but feeling proud of the work our team did. The reception to Baraka has been fantastic to see.
