실리콘 고무를 이용한 황인 여성의 안면 상처분장

Abstract

The progress of video technology in Korea has increased concern for special make-up. The purpose of this study was to investigate usefulness of silicone as a means of special make-up. The skin color of 8 yellow women was measured at first. Next, one of the women was selected as the model for special make-up and was applied with a mix of 4 pigments to create a tone similar to her skin color. Then, a silicone piece was produced and applied to the model to analyze the difference in tone and outcomes of the special make-up. In the result, there was slight difference in color between the forehead and cheek and the percentage of yellowness/lightness appeared to be higher than that of redness/lightness,showing that yellowness might play a decisive role in deciding the skin color of the yellow people. A comparison between the piece made by mixing silicone with pigments (magenta, cyanide, yellowish-like) and the forehead and cheek of the model revealed a very little difference in lightness and yellowness with Δ*=-0.9, Δ*=2.0, Δ*=-1.7 and b*=-2.9 and a little difference in redness with Δ*=-4.9 and Δ*=-5.2. No difference could be visible to the naked eye in the chromaticity. When the artificial silicone for wounds was applied to the model, realistic cover-up was possible without any show of strangeness even on the skin surface of which looked swollen due to wounds as well as in the edge of attachment thanks to the semitransparent material and optimal mixing ratio of pigments. This result proved that silicone is the better material for special make-up than other ones. In conclusion, it may be said that toning by mixing silicone with pigments makes it possible to express skin color and quality more realistic and delicate, a method that can be better utilized in the industrial area since silicone is easily reproducible because it won’t change depending on body temperature and weather.
