How To Use Special Effects Makeup Kits

By Rebecca Bennett


If you intend to provide makeup services on movie sets, you have to start getting lots of practice in. Buying special effects makeup kits will help you get your start. These collections are all-inclusive and contain glue, paint and lots of other resources for radically altering the looks of your subjects.

Products like these are generally required when taking special effects classes. If you have registered for one of these classes, ask your teacher to help you find the best products to use. A seasoned instructor can suggest a variety of comprehensive and quality kits that are suited to your area of interest.

If people plan on practicing these skills without guidance or direction, they need to look for kits that are designed for their intended niches. As an example, you my want to create characters from fairy tales or beings from outer spaces. A kit for this type of work will not be the same as one that is used to design zombie or vampire looks. You can also find flexible kit designs that are made to create a variety of looks. If you haven't found a niche to pursue, products like these may be your best bet.

Skin irritation can be avoided by looking for and using products that are high in quality. Non-comodogenic powders and paints are best for this purpose. These are not going to irritate the skin or cause rashes. Using top-tier products will protect the people you work on and ensure that they like the final effects.

Another important factor to consider is how you will take these products off once your work is done. It could be necessary to invest in a special removal solution. This is particularly important if you will be gluing on prosthetic products or using a lot of dark, heavy colors to significantly modify a person's looks. Many companies include removal solutions as part of their packages.

Another thing to determine is how dramatically you wish to alter a person's looks. There are options that come with their own prosthetic parts for altering various facial features such as the nose. More basic product designs typically come with paints and powders but not much else. These products do not cost a whole lot and they are made for ease of use. They are perfect for people who are just starting out. With one of these, you can start turning yourself into your favorite characters.

Kits like these can be used to assist with neighborhood plays or other small-scale productions. You can use them to get a lot of professional experience. Find a school play or a small, local theater group and offer your skills. This is a great way to build up your resume and it will help these performances gains a new level of realism and visual appeal.

One easy way to get more practice is by asking relatives and friends to be your study subjects. If you take care to invest in a quality removal solution and top-tier products, these people will be happy to sit for you. They can have their looks radically transformed and they won't have to deal with irritated skin afterwards.
