Special Effects Makeup Schools
Have you asked, “What Are Some of the Best Special Effects Makeup Schools?” There are only a few special effects makeup schools in the country. We are a special effects makeup school in Florida. If you wish to be successful in this field, you must develop highly specialized skills. At Cosmix you will learn the design and creation of realistic prosthetic & dental appliances. We recommend that students who want to work in the film industry enroll in the Master Makeup Artistry Pro Program to acquire the necessary skills to work across the entire spectrum of makeup artistry. You will be much more valuable if you are well-rounded. Students who are under a time or budgetary restraint and are not able to attend the Master program would benefit from taking the 5 week Character Makeup Course in addition to SFX Makeup.

SFX Makeup: Prosthetics Makeup
210 clock hours No Pre-requisites
May be taken alone as an Individual Course
The first special effects makeup course, SFX Makeup: Prosthetics” equips students with makeup & lab techniques to create special effects for film, television, and theater. On Day 1, students apply a prosthetic. This introduces students to prosthetics and emphasizes the importance of proper textures, edges, and the look of a finished application. This helps them as they begin designing and sculpting.
Students learn about silicone, gelatin, and foam latex materials. They design, create, and apply different types of prosthetic and dental appliances. The entire process includes conceptualization, life casting, sculpting, molding, airbrushing techniques, and application techniques.
Blood delivery methods are also included. Their final project for Special FX Makeup is captured in a photo shoot.
