We\u2019ve seen some crazy things in this industry. But with special FX makeup, crazy can be good!<\/p>\n<p>The looks that inspire you can be full of texture\u2014gory or glam! If you are looking to create a full body character with special FX makeup, we recommend sourcing inspiration first. A great place to start is fantasy and horror movies. There are a lot of cult favorites in terms of special FX looks. But don\u2019t feel restricted by mermaid and vampire effects!<\/p> \n<p>You can combine elements from different characters as well. If it doesn\u2019t exist now, it will by the time you\u2019re done! For example, you could use the body of one character and the facial features of another as inspiration. Don\u2019t be afraid to use a design board to help plan your look. Lay out some of the colors, textures and props you would like to incorporate. From here, you can visualize how the details will work together. You\u2019ll want to start thinking about the materials you\u2019ll need as well.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/fxelf.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/fxelf.jpg\" alt=\"ellf woman in a forest\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/fxelf.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/fxelf-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tools\"><\/span>Tools<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whether you are a beginner or an advanced special FX makeup artist \u2013 no tools are off limits! Some of the best ones can be found at your local dollar and hardware stores.<\/p>\n<p>While it would be impossible to list every tool you\u2019ll need for special FX makeup, we can tell you about some common ones. These are staples you should always have in your special FX kit! Some examples of tools and products you need are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Body paints<\/li>\n<li>Cream makeup<\/li>\n<li>Latex<\/li>\n<li>Bald cap<\/li>\n<li>Prosthetics or molding clay<\/li>\n<li>Wigs<\/li>\n<li>Vaseline<\/li>\n<li>Colored contacts<\/li>\n<li>Liquid, gel, capsule and powdered bloods<\/li>\n<li>Palettes<\/li>\n<li>Injury wheels<\/li>\n<li>Sponges<\/li> \n<li>Makeup and paint brushes<\/li>\n<li>Adhesives<\/li>\n<li>Eyebrow creams<\/li>\n<li>Glue removers<\/li>\n<li>Hairdryer and tools<\/li>\n<li>Rubbing alcohol<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prosthetics\"><\/span>Prosthetics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Again, with special FX makeup, anything goes! You may not want or need prosthetics, but they sure can elevate a look. Affordable, good quality prosthetics can be hard to find. That\u2019s why many makeup artists choose to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2017\/05\/make-prosthetics-special-fx-makeup-business-part-1\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">make their own<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to go this route, be sure to do your research! Some prosthetics can take multiple days to build, dry, and then make adjustments to. This is why it\u2019s so important to plan your looks out in advance. Otherwise, you\u2019ll end up with goopy, unrealistic prosthetics. Or worse \u2013 a rubber hand wound from your department store\u2019s Halloween section.<\/p> \n<p>Adequate time and preparation is the best way to create successful special FX looks. Don\u2019t rush the process!<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/fxglass.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/fxglass.jpg\" alt=\"special effects makeup with girl covered in glass shards \" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/fxglass.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/fxglass-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Canvas\"><\/span>The Canvas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the best parts about being a special FX artist is that your canvas is living and breathing (even if they don\u2019t look it)! The human canvas usually requires a bit of prep. You need your model to have a solid base before you can get into the fun stuff!<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the look you\u2019re trying to create, you\u2019ll need either a dry or tacky base. If the look you\u2019re going for requires blending you should opt for a tacky base. These paints are oil based and don\u2019t dry completely. It\u2019s a great option if you\u2019ll be building color in your special FX look. For special FX looks with finer details you should opt for a dry base. Water paints accomplish this well and they dry fairly quickly.<\/p> \n<p>If you\u2019re doing full body paint remember that certain body need different paint types. Whichever one you choose, make sure your base is dry before moving on to additional special FX. A solid base is a predictor of how well your final look will turn out! In order to keep your base solid, you may want to consider using antiperspirants under the makeup application. If you want it to last you better hope that sweat doesn\u2019t cause unwanted melting effects!<\/p>\n<p>Besides painting your base, you need to prepare your model for any prosthetics or accessories you will be using. Bald caps are often used at this point. If you are doing full body paint, you should also cover any areas your model requests! Cue the pasties and lycra underwear! Whatever you do, stay away from cotton!<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/fxcanvas.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/fxcanvas.jpg\" alt=\"blue body paint\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/fxcanvas.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/fxcanvas-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Play_Time\"><\/span>Play Time<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve prepared your canvas and all the necessary prosthetics, you can start working on the fun stuff. At this point, your creativity will really start to flow. It\u2019s time to start the makeup application!<\/p>\n<p>If you have chosen to use prosthetics or additional textures, you\u2019ll want to apply them first. This\u2018ll allow you to cover up any messy edges later on with makeup. Just be sure to allow enough drying time between layers and applications.<\/p>\n<p>Once the prosthetics are dry and secure, you can start working on the details. Remember the difference between tacky and dry paints! For zombie looks that require blending, use oil based paints. For aged skin, water based paints will allow you to create those fine wrinkles and textured details. \nTry playing with different applicators to add realistic elements to your look. Ordinary objects like toothbrushes and sponges can create awesome effects. We\u2019ve seen people create scales in no time with fishnet stockings and some airbrushing. Get creative! If you are ever unsure about a technique, try it out on paper first. The best part about makeup is that it\u2019s adaptable!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Make_it_Last\"><\/span>Make it Last<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>So, all the details are perfect and your look is ready for its big reveal. No really \u2013 you\u2019re pretty sure there is an actual corpse bride sitting across from you right now. The last thing you want is for all your hard work to wear off. Unfortunately, no special FX zombie lives forever. BUT, there are a few things you can do to make your makeup look last a little longer.<\/p>\n<p>Setting powder is obvious, but not always possible. Depending on your look, it may not be an option. Setting sprays are usually a safe bet for any look. But it isn\u2019t always strong enough. Especially if your model has to be in costume for 14 hours! In this case, hairspray is a great option. It doesn\u2019t sound glamorous, but it creates a film over wherever it\u2019s sprayed. You may also consider buying seals to make special FX looks last. Depending on how long the look needs to last, usually using hairspray as a sealant will work fine if you\u2019ve created a solid base!<\/p>\n<p>The world of special FX makeup is fantastical and intriguing. It\u2019s easy to get excited and carried away when creating looks\u2014especially full body ones! The goal here however, is to create a realistic and detailed version of a character. This requires proper planning and patience!<\/p> \n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/fxgore.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/fxgore.jpg\" alt=\"actress covered in special effects makeup wounds\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/fxgore.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/fxgore-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a><h2 class=\"cta\">Are you interested in learning more about Special FX Makeup?
