Participants in the workshop will see demonstrations of a variety of special effects makeup techniques for stage and film, including small prosthetics (prosaid transfers, encapsulated silicone and gelatin), basic injury simulation (bruises and cuts), paint and powder aging, using traditional and state of the art makeup materials, including alcohol based makeup, silicone makeup, advanced blood products, and more. Participants should be prepared to take notes during the workshop and are welcome to have their own makeup to follow along with the demonstrations. Participants do not need to be visible on camera.
