The Art Of Transformation | Special Effects Makeup

Posted on February 2, 2017February 3, 2017 by beautybyshaq

An SFX Story

If you don’t know by now, I’ll tell ya… I’m a makeup instructor. One of my favorite things to teach is Special Effects Makeup. The reason I love teaching this subject is because to me it is what I think makeup is, which to me is; the magic of transformation! Transformation can be seen in simple day to day makeup, but when you use Special FX you can completely change a person into someone else like magic.. And I love that!

This week I’ve been teaching SFX Makeup, and I wanted to share some of the fun products

I work with:

We use the very exotic tissue paper..what?!?! Yes we use this with latex and create creepy skin.
Sponges (non latex) these sponges are essential to use with liquid latex because the liquid latex won’t eat them.
Stipple sponge.. we use these to create scrapes and other cool effects.
Q tips, from cleaning edges to adding color, these bad boys are useful.
Liquid latex will be your best friend (if you aren’t allergic) you can build and rip and with this product to create realistic skin.
Liquid blood is the best finishing touch to make a wound, burn, cut and flesh eating zombie look realistic.
Black creme color. I use this to give depth.
My favorite product to use is 3rd degree. This is a silicone 2 part product. When combined you have ten minutes to mold and shape into what you want it to be and it harden that way.
Another favorite not shown here, is thick blood. It’s a gel like blood with many uses.

I have some videos in my YouTube channel on how to use some of these, Actually I have an entire play list on these:

Here are some Special Effects Makeup looks I’ve created:

Burns

Psychopaths and real life BFFS

Clown and Burn

Wound and Bruises

Clown Tutorial

Zombie Makeup

Posted on July 28, 2014January 25, 2017 by beautybyshaq

Everyone love zombie makeup now…. right?? I do!

There’s so many different way to make a zombie, and this is one more.. but I’ll give you insight in products and how to use them. At the end, I’d love to get your feedback!

To begin, I like to prep my model with contact lens, they always give any zombie look the perfect touch!

Next is all the “scars, bite marks, deteriorating” To create the angry eyebrows I used a foam latex prosthetic that I bought at The Silly Farm . I used Prosaid which is used to glue prosthetic to skin, then I went on to create the scars and deteriorating skin with 3rd degree… a 2 part silicone product that you mold and have ten minutes to play with. On the neck, that’s where she was bitten to become a “zombie” I used oatmeal and latex, I mixed them together to create this look! On the legs I applied latex waited for it to dry and started making holes.

Then I took the most pale color from dinair and airbrushed her whole body…. to give it that dead look you know! LOL!

Next I took my Mehron Bruise wheel and added dead bruised coloring around every wound and cut! I also used black cream to give the illusion of depth.

Next I used my new favorite Mehron tooth fx and used the red and black to give a decaying FX to the teeth!

Isn’t she lovely?!?!?!?!

I like doing my blood splatter outside… and with good reasons.. “my boss hate when the whole school looks like a massacre happened lol” I use Mehron Stage Blood to drip in the areas that i wanted, then watered it down and used it for splatter everywhere else!

and Viola!
