POV: Beauty + SFX makeup got together… and made THIS 🦇

Because why stick to just one kind of makeup when you can use both for a complete character?!

This demo done by @lizziesdeadspfx at @spookyempire mixes beauty and special effects artistry. From the glam details to the creative transformation, every element comes together to bring this vampire bat lady to life 🖤

Beauty makeup and custom silicone prosthetic sculpted, applied, painted by graduate @lizziesdeadspfx on model @lillimakesfaces

At the Vocational Academy of Makeup & Prosthetics we are all for exploring the many sides of makeup artistry. Our programs:

💄 Beauty Professional – From everyday beauty and glam to bridal and editorial looks.
🎬 Modern Effects – From horror and creatures to prosthetics, character design, and full-on transformations.

Two different worlds. Endless creative possibilities.

Okay, but be honest… which side are you choosing?

💄 TEAM BEAUTY 🎬 TEAM SFX or BOTH 🧛‍♀️

From the big screen to real life - this is movie magic makeup🩸

Inspired by the incredible work of @mikefontaine_ in Sinners, our graduate @angelymua recreated it into a jaw-dropping reality!

For a live demo at @spookyempire she recreated the iconic vampire using an incredible combination of custom-sculpted, applied, and hand-painted silicone prosthetics paired with custom sculpted and painted character dentures.

From the sculpting process to the final transformation, every detail was carefully crafted to bring this cinematic creature to life to have a vampire walking among us! 🖤

• Prosthetics sculpted, applied, painted by @angelymua
• Dentures sculpted, molded, painted by @angelymua
• Silicone ran by @brian__mahoney
• Modeled by @nicolass_or

From a twisted idea into a FULLY SCULPTED CREATURE! 🐷🔥

This was custom crafted from the mind of our student @makeup.by.miranda.sfx during the mask-making portion of our Modern Effects Makeup Artistry Program.

THIS is what happens when imagination meets practical special effects makeup training.

She’s burnin up 🔥 but don’t worry, it’s just makeup - SFX makeup 🎨

From the Out of Kit portion of our Modern Effects program, our student @gracespurgeon.fx applied this injury simulation with burns and singed hair 🥵 At first glance did you think it was real?!

#specialeffectsmakeup #sfxmakeupartist #injurymakeup #burnmakeup #orlandomakeupschool ...

Makeup so realistic it hurts to look at - this is why SFX makeup is such an art form 🔥🎭

What looks like a serious injury is actually the power of special effects makeup. From sculpting realistic texture to creating convincing trauma, SFX artists turn ideas into something that looks way too real.

By student @makeup.by.miranda.sfx for the Out of Kit portion of our Modern Effects Makeup Artistry program

#sfxmakeupartist #specialeffectsmakeup #orlandomakeupschool #vampfx #injurymakeup ...

It’s all fun and games… until the blood comes out. 🩸🎬

Behind every convincing injury is a makeup artist who understands color, texture, anatomy, and storytelling. This is SFX makeup in action • turning a clean face into a believable character with a little creativity (and a LOT of patience).

Would you know how this effect was created? 👀

Trust the process ✅ This is how movie creatures are born 🧟‍♂️ Inspired by the movie The Return Of The Living Dead our student @lizziesdeadspfx sculpted, molded, applied and painted costuming and this custom foam latex prosthetic 👀

#vampfx #specialeffectsmakeup #sfxmakeupartist #sfxprosthetics #returnofthelivingdead ...

SFX POV: its lab day ☠️ Most people never see this part but every prosthetic starts with a mold. And you make that corrective positive mold from a lifecast. Oddly satisfying to watch wouldn’t you agree?
