Our special effects makeup artists use cosmetics and appliances to create the appearance of bruises, cuts, blood, old age, deformities, mutations, and more. We can create monsters and zombies using makeup and prosthetics, often made of latex, silicone, or rubber. Special effects makeup artists are different from regular makeup artists: Instead of beautifying actors and actresses, we typically do the exact opposite. Even in the world of computer-generated special effects, special effects makeup is still important in helping create a seamless connection between live actors and actresses and the fantasy world around them.
