Injuries & Effects Makeup
Have you ever wondered how the injuries, surgeries, autopsy scenes and cadavers are created in films and television shows like CSI, ER and the movies Rambo and 300? Injuries are considered “basic makeup” in the TV and film industry. Regardless if you find yourself working on a blockbuster movie, a small independent film, horror flick, network series or even a soap opera, you will need to deliver realistic, convincing results.
In this 3-day workshop you will create believable looking injuries of all kinds. From scars, cuts and scrapes, to all forms of bruises, black eyes, and various degrees of burns and many types of bullet wounds. In order to recreate believable injuries, the makeup artist needs to also understand various forms of fake blood and when to use them. Knowing the difference in using blood that appears fresh, coagulated, dried, scabbed or arranging for it to be squirting from an artery is all based on the type of injury.
On a more advanced level, you will also learn deterioration makeup which consists of creating the illusion of illness or death and all of the stages in between. Such as (but not limited to) the visual characteristics of excessive lack of sleep, malnutrition, extreme illness such as cancer or aids, all forms of drug usage, oozing flesh wounds, rotting flesh, autopsy cadavers and expiring dead bodies in whatever stage they are to be discovered.
This workshop is a must for aspiring TV and film artists. It will allow you to discover how to create realism with blood, injuries and deterioration makeup’s. You will utilize these skills on the set as well as for work during Halloween season on clients or at various theme parks and haunted house attractions. Hands-on applications on models will take place on the last 2 days of class.

"I have always loved makeup but felt that my training in the department stores wasn’t enough. I didn’t want to be another mediocre, self-taught artist. I looked into makeup schools because I wanted to be educated and be good at what I was doing.
