Makeup Artist
Special effects makeup artists will spend much of their time using cosmetics and appliances to create the appearance of bruises, cuts, blood, old age, deformities, mutations, and more.
Skills:
*Background in cosmetology and extensive knowledge of makeup materials.
*An education in other materials such as latex, rubber, fake blood, and other materials that will be used to create realistic-looking prosthetics; realism is the goal of all special effects makeup artists.
How to become a makeup artist:
*Start on your own, or attend a formal makeup artist training program which can give you the foundation education and extra skills that you need to set yourself apart from the competition.
Rick Baker worked on films such as:
*King Kong
*Men in Black
*Planet of the Apes
*Star Wars
and most recently,
*Maleficent
This line of work is typically found in the entertainment industry, so special effects make-up artists may be hired by theaters, film and television productions, theme parks, cruise ships or avant-garde fashion shows.
