An array of different work will help make you and your artistry more marketable.\n\nYour special FX portfolio should include the basics of special FX, such as bruising, scars, and blood application. But it should also delve into advanced special effects techniques, including bald cap application, working with crepe hair, and (most importantly) prosthetics. Avoid overloading your portfolio with photos that are too similar to one another. Nobody needs to see five slightly different shots of the same look!\n\nWhen building your portfolio, do your best to diversify your content. Don\u2019t just showcase one style of special effects makeup. Your portfolio should include a mixture of different styles to show the breadth of your makeup artistry skills. It\u2019ll be difficult to stand out if you can only provide one or two styles. Think about including gore looks in addition to aging makeup. It\u2019s also a great idea to highlight simple and advanced prosthetic application looks.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Aside_from_photos_what_else_should_I_include\"><\/span>Aside from photos, what else should I include?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nHaving good quality photos in your portfolio isn\u2019t always enough. Many times, photographers or agents want to know more about the artist as a professional. It is always a good idea to include a brief resume-like page in your portfolio. List your professional makeup training, your makeup certifications, and your credentials for any <em>original<\/em> published work.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;37146&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]Depending on the job, the employer may be looking for specific criteria in their makeup artist. After all, they want to ensure their vision will be accurately brought to life. Include the list of makeup tools and products you are familiar with to create your special FX looks. Although you want to impress your potential client or employer, remember to be honest with them. Don\u2019t oversell your experience with various styles and makeup looks if you\u2019re lacking in those areas. You never want to bite off more than you can chew!\n\nSome looks require preparation before the shoot, especially if you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2017\/05\/make-prosthetics-special-fx-makeup-business-part-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">making your own prosthetics<\/a>. But when you\u2019re just creating scars, bites, or claw marks, they can be done using a variety of quicker techniques using 3rd Degree or scar wax on-the-spot. Listing products and tools you are familiar with also show that you are knowledgeable on a variety of products and techniques. This can help make you more marketable.\n\nHere are some products you should familiarize yourself with as a special effects makeup artist to help broaden your SFX looks:[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"nectar-fancy-ul\" data-list-icon=\"fa fa-check\" data-animation=\"true\" data-animation-delay=\"0\" data-color=\"accent-color\" data-spacing=\"default\" data-alignment=\"left\"> \n<ul>\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2017\/10\/build-special-effects-makeup-kit-budget\/\">3rd Degree\/ Scar wax \/ Gelatin compounds<\/a><\/li>\n \t<li>Liquid latex \/ Pros-Aide<\/li>\n \t<li>Spirit Gum\/adhesives<\/li>\n \t<li>3D Transfers &amp; prosthetics<\/li>\n \t<li>Bald caps<\/li>\n \t<li>Crepe Hair<\/li>\n \t<li>Paints (cream, water-based, and alcohol activated)<\/li>\n \t<li>Effects Gels (for creating blood, flesh, and scars)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/div>[divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;37150&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_personal_special_effects_makeup_portfolio\"><\/span>My personal special effects makeup portfolio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nMy own portfolio is constantly being updated and revamped. It contains photos of gore makeup styles (both simple and advanced), prosthetic application makeup that I created myself, old age makeup, fantasy makeup looks, and body painting.\n\nI constantly update my portfolio to allow different looks to rotate throughout. This helps you to create a versatile and eye-catching portfolio as you\u2019ll be able to see what photos would work best for the makeup job you\u2019re applying for.\n\nWhen you\u2019re finally putting together your portfolio, pay as much attention to photo selection and placement as possible. I went through several drafts before settling on the final layout. I wanted to ensure that although some looks were similar, they ranged from simple to more advanced styles and application.\n\nYou\u2019ll also want to alternate the style of looks when putting your makeup portfolio together. If you only have a large set of gore photos (scares, bruising, and blood) back-to-back, you run the risk of your potential client or employer losing interest. If it\u2019s not what they had in mind, they may pass you up for another special effects makeup artist without viewing the rest of your portfolio.

Once you have that information, you can curate your portfolio to showcase the desired style.\n\nIf the job requires a fantasy look, it could mean a range of looks since it\u2019s so vague. So your portfolio should include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2019\/02\/master-makeup-artistry-course-sample-fantasy-makeup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">beauty fantasy makeup<\/a>, both colorful and dark. In addition, choose a variety of character looks such as aliens and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2016\/10\/4-updated-classic-halloween-looks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">classic characters such as vampires<\/a>, witches, werewolves, etc. When making your decision, remember that not all employers have the same vision in mind.

This can help you gain experience, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2017\/06\/get-dream-job-networking-makeup-artists\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">network with industry professionals<\/a>, and collaborate with the photographer for some great photo-ops of your looks.
