This season, makeup artists have transformed actors using everything from sublime touches to complete prosthetics. Underneath it all, no matter how many hours and prosthetic pieces, they have one common goal: to preserve the actor’s performance.

For Prime Video’s “Fallout,” Walton Goggins returns as the Ghoul, a character for which prosthetic department head Jake Gerber used nine silicon pieces. The very first application took five hours, but for Season 2, Gerber managed to reduce the transformation time to under two-and-a-half hours.
