This a part of a SFX Makeup series this fall where we will be doing looks inspired by classic movie monsters to learn basic prosthetic and painting techniques.
In this class, we are taking inspiration from “Creature from the Black Lagoon” to make a customized fish-like character. Students will be using liquid latex to create the shape and build it up with multiple layers, and then use face paints and different types of painting techniques to color as they wish. Using skin safe adhesives that are used on movie sets, students will apply the prosthetic to each others’ faces and finish with more painting to blend it in.
Considering the length of the class and materials being used, the class costs $60 per person.
*We recommend you sign up with another person if you don’t feel comfortable applying and receiving makeup application from a stranger.
