Special Effects Makeup (SFX Makeup) / Prosthetic Makeup SFX / Prosthetic makeup is the process of using prosthetic products like silicone pieces, cold & hot foam , bondo / prosaide transfers, cosmetics, latex, paints and similar products for final application in theatre, television, editorials, costume parties etc. The process involves sculpting, molding and casting techniques with different materials to create advanced cosmetic effects. This technique is very durable and moulded pieces can be as thin as a few layers of skin, so the results are very life-like and hyper realistic. And if we talk about how creative one can get with this type of makeup technique then there are no limits. One can create amazing , completely unrealistic shocking unimaginable looks like fantasy makeup, ghost makeup, zombie makeup, horror makeup, avant garde/futuristic makeup etc with right kind technique and products. If one likes to create art which is mind stimulating , shocking and realistic, then definitely this form of art might open doors of imagination. Creating beautiful art is my passion & Makeup happens to be one of them. My career has allowed me to visit some of the most gorgeous locations the world has to offer. I LOVE the sense of adventure that comes with being a global make-up
artist for weddings, fashion / editorials, movies , music videos but there is all together a different kind of energy & vibe involved when i am doing SFX Project. My recent works for a telugu web series ‘LOCKED’ beautifully directed by Pradeep Deva Kumar which was released on AHA videos has all gore, blood and horror involved. So far i have almost done couple of brain surgeries , heart transplants , beheading , botox , bruises , throat slits, critical intestines injuries & creative creature makeup in my SFX Projects. As a career SFX is not a safe option if you can settle for less & dont have an eye of detail. If we talk about digits then right now the prosthetic makeup industry is booming. The projects are high paying and if you love traveling , adventure & team work then i am sure you would love your life. Following is a quick round of Q/A 1.
