Special Effects Makeup Artist

The Art of Special Effects Makeup
Special effects makeup isn’t for everyone — it takes a true creative artist to master the techniques of working with liquid latex, wax, and sculpting realistic wounds, blood, and other effects. A skilled SPFX artist doesn’t need a degree, just years of practice and a portfolio that speaks for itself.

We’re here to bring your wildest ideas to life, whether it’s for film, Halloween, fancy dress parties, or photoshoots. From cuts, burns, and bruises to bullet wounds, aging, prosthetics, wig, and beard applications, we’ve got the expertise to make it all look as real as possible. Send an enquiry for a quote.

What We Use for Special FX Makeup

You may have seen all the terrific monsters, aliens and gashes we have created, but here is how we make them. Except for our creativity, we do have a few products and tools that we rely on to make it happen:

Liquid latex. We use products that are safe to use on your skin. Liquid latex is our product of creation.
Waxes or silicone. We use wax or silicone to create features such as a nose, scars or boils and such.
Prosthetics. Bullet or wound prosthetics is part of our kit, along with fake blood to finish the SPFX makeup.

Experience and knowing how to use the products and tools are what you need in an excellent professional special effects makeup artist.
