This class will guide you through essential skills to kick start your special effects, make up journey. Empowering you to explore your creativity and create versatile looks. Greetings. I'm Smith from sunny California. With over 20 years experience, I've had the privilege of traveling the world on diverse projects, teaching basic beginner level make up to captivating special effects that you see in theaters and films. I run a successful Youtube channel with over 3 million followers, where I teach the mastery of make up from its foundational roots to professional make up artistry S effects or special effects. Face painting is a form of art that goes beyond traditional designs and involves creating realistic effects and often fantastical make up on your face and body. It's commonly used in films, theater, cost, play, and Halloween, or any event where dramatic make up is desired. Throughout this class, I will demonstrate the use of basic material. Most of these are found in your home. To craft professional looking SFX looks. We will explore a range of exciting techniques, including three D face painting, where we'll dive into creating depth and dimension using colors. Master the art of creating lifelike illusions on human campus. And then we'll discover how to combine liquid latex with paper to create three dimensional looks. That will leave everyone in all. We will then unleash the artist in us crafting prosthetics from scratch and then creating a certain look with it to bring the impossible to life. During the class, I'll be teaching these techniques while we create three different looks. Lion kings, scar, half way skull, and a fantasy creature that we will create with the prosthetics that we make from scratch. Once you've learned these easy techniques, you can use it in finite number of ways. Creating anything from zombies, and aliens, and wounds and scars, or even aging, make up special effects. Make up is not your regular make up, but mastering it can be a game changer. And I'm thrilled to share budget friendly, accessible techniques with all of you. If you're ready, let's begin. 2. Class Project & Materials : Welcome to our thrilling class of SFX make up. I'm so glad you're here. This class is broken down into four projects. Lion King's scar, half face skull, prosthetic making, and a fantasy creature using the prosthetics For the first look, which is Lion King's scar, we'll be learning three D face painting, including b***ding and adding effects. For this we will need face panes and make up. We will need make up brushes or sponges and we'll also need water to activate the face panes. For the second project, which is half face skull, we will work with liquid latex and tissue paper to create three D effects. For this, we will need face paints and make up. We will need some water to activate the face paint. We will need some tissue paper or toilet paper. We will need some liquid latex. You can purchase liquid latex online on Amazon, on camera, ready cosmetics on maroon make up. Or it's also readily available in many of the Halloween supply stores. Always be mindful of allergies and skin sensitivities to make up and latex, and make sure to perform a spot test before you use it on yourself. For the third project, we will learn to create prosthetics from scratch, and for that you will need aluminum. Food foil will need liquid latex. We will need flour. I like to use all purpose flour, but you can also use corn flour or even rice flour. You will need a sealant like a glue or a mort page. We will use some Cheers to add texture to our prosthetics. We will need some makeup brushes to paint over the prosthetics, and we will need some paint. I'll be using face paint. You can also use spray paints. Always have a pair of scissors handy. We'll also use a disposable mixing stick. And some disposable bowls for the fort Page, as well as liquid latex. For the final look, which is Fantasy creature, we will use the prosthetics that we crafted from scratch. We will use some make up, some make up brushes or sponges, and we'll also use liquid latex to attach the prosthetics. Throughout this class, you will observe that I have this clean white background to keep the focus on all the colors that I'll be using on my face. Now let's get ready to immerse ourselves into imagination and we'll bring that to stunning reality. In the next lesson, we will learn three D face painting, where we create jaw dropping dimensional artwork on our face. Let's make this experience want to remember? 3. 3D Face Painting, Pigmentation, and Blending: In this lesson, you will learn how to correctly use face paints to create different characters and illusions. In just a few easy steps, we will convert ourselves into Scar from Lion King. First, let's gather everything that we need in this lesson. A nude eye pencil. Some face paints and water to activate the paints. Some basic make up and paint brushes start with a clean face free of any creams. Have a mirror in front of you and the picture of the character you wish to paint. Today we are painting Scar from Lion King. For the first step, I like to use a nude eye pencil to outline the picture on my face. I'm starting with the V hair line on top, bringing it all the way down to my cheeks. And then I'm going to draw a curve leading up to my mouth. And as Scar has a wide nose, I'm going to widen my nose and attach it to the sides of the curve. And then I'm going to pull the curves all the way down to my chin. Because Scar has a long mouth and chin, I like to use a nude eye pencil to outline because it's easier to erase it and redo it in case there's a mistake for face paint, I'm going to be using the Meron Paradise palette, which has all the colors needed for this look. I'm going to start with the sunset shades of orange and red to paint within the borders on the top half of my face, starting with a lighter orange shade. And I'm going to mix in a little bit of the red till I'm happy with the intensity. I'm using a flat shading make up brush. You can also use paint brushes. I use very little water to paint That way the paint show up more pigmented. Always remember, more water will dilute the paint. And then I'm going to go back and forth between the orange and the red. Now I'm dipping into the white paint with a fine liner brush. And I'm going to start outlining the mouth area. And then I'm going to paint the entire mouth with the white paint using a flat shading brush. I'm using two coats of paint to make it opaque. Next, I'm going to dip into brown to outline the tear ducts and the nose. And then I'm going to use a dry b***ding brush. Dipping into the brown. I'm not using any water here. The brush is completely dry. And then I'm going to use that brown shade to shade around my nose. It's easier to shade with a dry brush because the color b***ds right in. As opposed to a wet brush, which will dilute the colors. Next, I'm dipping into black with the same fine liner brush to carve out the nose and mouth. Looking at the picture, I'm going to paint a curved nose outline. And right beneath that I'm going to make a large M shape. I'm going to join that to my mouth. And then I'm going to draw a thin line across my mouth. And I'm going to point the ends downwards to show a sad face. I'm going to now paint the nose and make the M thicker. I'm making the face sad because carp was never happy. Now I'm going to dip into the brown with a flat shading brush and paint around my eyes. And once that's a little bit dry, I'm going to mix in a little bit of black with the brown to make a deeper brown to draw pointed eyelids with an eye line or brush. Now for the scar, I'm going to dip into the red and pull out a long triangle above my left eyebrow and another inverted triangle below my eye. And then using this flesh color, I'm going to highlight the scar. Scar has this raised eyebrow, so I'm going to first mark a point above my brow and join it to the ends, elongating it in the inner and outer corners. Using the black paint to clean up. On top, I'm using the orange paint, and at the bottom I'm going to be using the brown paint. And that leaves us with thick raised brows. And now on to creating that cat eye. I'm going to first start with a black eye pencil. This is the make up Forever Aquas pencil. I'm going to use it in my water line. And then using the urban Decay liquid liner, I'm going to line my lash line and pull out a wing in the outer corner. And then I'm going to extend my inner corner joining it to the lash line to create the cat eye. I'm going to further thicken the lower lash line using the black eye pencil and then using the site, Wonder warned mascara. I'm going to finish up this look. As you can see, this look is coming together. Now that we have the expression, let's go ahead and paint the outside of the border with black paint. I'm going to be using a flat shading brush by Milani to paint the larger areas. And then I'm going to fine tune it with the fine eye liner brush in the borders to, to cover larger areas like my neck and shoulders. I'm using a larger foundation brush and applying two parts of the paint to make it opaque. If you prefer not to paint your neck and shoulders, you can either wear a turtle neck or a high neck black T shirt. Now for the finer details, I'm going to be using the liner brush to pull out some strokes that look like hair. And I'm just going with the flow looking at the picture in front of me. Feel free to use your imagination to alter the image according to your style and imagination. I'm going to make the mouth a little bit thicker before I use this yellow paint to start shading in the chin area. I'm also going to use a little bit of orange paint to shade that should give depth and dimension. And then using the brown paint, I'm going to start adding shadows by shading around my face, so that should add more dimension and depth. Before I use the brown paint, again with the fine liner brush to pull out whiskers, I'm using brown instead of black, so you can see it on both the white background as well as the black background on my chin. I let my hair down to go with the theme to make it look like Maine. And here is the finished look. Remember that special effect space painting is an art form that allows for a lot of creativity and experimentation. Don't be afraid to try new techniques and have fun with the colors and designs. Patience and practice is key to improving your skills. Make sure to take photos of your creation from different angles to showcase your work and share it with others. In the next lesson, we will work with tissue paper and liquid latex to create magic while we craft another extraordinary artwork. 4. Create Realistic Skin Texture with Tissue Paper & Latex: When it comes to special effects, make up liquid latex and tissue paper are two of the most common and versatile materials you can use to create texture to your skin. In this lesson, we will explore just that to avoid skin sensitivities and allergies, make sure to perform a sport test with liquid latex before you use it on your face. In this lesson, we will create a half face skull. It'll almost look like your skin is peeling off and revealing the skull beneath. For this look, we will need tissue or toilet paper. Some liquid latex face paint brushes, and some basic make up. I'm starting with a clean face free of any creams. In the top half will create the skin texture, and in the bottom half will create the skull. I'm going to use a nude eye pencil to roughly draw the border and divide my face and also outline the hollow of my nose for the skull. I'm going to be using the men paradise palette for face paints. Starting with the white paint, I'm going to fill in the lower half of my face. And I'm going to be doing two coats just to make it as opaque as possible, but I'll be leaving the hollow of the nose untouched. And then with a fine eye liner brush, I'm going to clean up the corners and hard to reach areas using the white paint, and it should look something like this. Now using the black paint, I'm going to first outline the hollow of the nose and then I'm going to fill it in. And then I'm going to paint a thin line inside my mouth. And I'm going to extend it on both sides of my mouth, towards the hollows of my cheek. To paint the bone structure on the sides, I'm going to start with my hair line, pulling it towards the hollows of my cheek bones. And then I'm going to draw another swirl going toward my jaw. And I'm going to mirror the same on the other side as well. Using a bit more black paint, I'm going to deepen the innermost corners of the curves where they join. And then I'm going to use some black eye shadow with a dry, flat shading brush to further shade and soften this. Whether you're using black pains or eye shadows, make sure to take very little at a time while you continue to shade and b***d. Because if you take too much b***ding becomes a nightmare. So the key is to keep on layering while you b***d till you're happy with the intensity. I'm going to do the same on the other side as well. And now we have the bone structure on the sides. Taken care of teeth is probably the most important part of the look. And to do the teeth, I'm going to be using black eye shadow. I'm going to first draw a vertical line right in the center from my nose, going all the way down. And then I'm going to start marking where I want the rest of my teeth to be. I'm going to further make these lines longer on the top and at the bottom as you can see I've kept the longest lines in the center and I'm going to taper it down as I move towards the side. They'll become shorter and shorter. With the finer eye liner brush, I'm going to start curving the teeth closer to my mouth. So basically I'm giving my teeth some shape by making it rounder close to my mouth. I'm going to do this for every tooth, both at the top as well as at the bottom. Take your time to do this, and it's okay if some of that black eye shadow gets in the white area, we can always correct it with some shading. Then I'm going to start carving out the teeth. And the easiest way to give it some shape is by keeping it closer to the mouth and tapering it as it moves away. Then I'm going to shade a little bit more, making the black part wider on top to reveal the teeth. Again, the teeth part is the most important feature in a skull. Next, I'm going to be using a bit more of the black eye shadow to start shading and adding depth around the cheek bones. Then I'm also going to be shading in the chin area before I use a thin angled brush to make some cracks in the skull. Adding the shadows in the cracks gives it so much more dimension and makes it look closer to real. And this is the completed half skull. Now let's work on the top portion of this look for which we will need tissue paper and liquid latex. You can also use toilet paper. Now whether you're using toilet paper or tissue paper, they usually have two layers. So I'm going to separate it out, making it a single layer before I start ripping it into smaller pieces. And then for latex, I'm going to be using the kangaroo monster brand liquid latex. I'm going to pour it into a small disposable bowl. And then with a b***ding brush, I'm going to start painting right on top of the border of the skull which we just created. And over that I'm going to start sticking the tissue pieces. You get the best results when you work in smaller sections. Over this, I'm going to paint another layer of liquid latex. And I'm also going to bring it down to my skin. So the latex on the tissue paper b***ds into my skin. I'll repeat the same on my nose and the other side of my face as well. And if you observe, I'm keeping my eyes closed while applying latex because the vapors from the latex can irritate the eyes. You can also wear glasses while applying latex, and once it dries, it doesn't irritate your eyes anymore. I'm going to let this dry. It takes about 20 minutes, and once it's dry, I'm going to start separating out the lower portion, so just the bottom part by lifting it. And then I'm going to apply some white paint under it because it becomes a part of the skull. And now for the top half, I'm going to start with the foundation. And the one that I'll be using is the make up forever HD skin with a small concealer brush. I'm going to apply the foundation. We're going to apply the foundation on the latex as well. But before application, make sure to have some kind of a card or paper underneath so when you paint over the latex, it doesn't get on the white part. Now I'm going to add some dimension using the fenty beauty contour stick in the shade truffle by using it in the circumference of my face. Next, I'm using some concealer to cover up my dark circles and patches. I'm using the Milani conceal in the shade, warm beige, which is a true match to my skin tone. Using the Huda beauty brow pencil, I'm going to fill in my browse. I'm just filling in the spar series. And then I'm going to finish up with the Milani highly rated mascara. The last step is to apply some finer details. So I'm going to be using a little bit of black eye shadow with a flat shading brush. I'm first going to use it in my browse to give that angry look. I'm going to apply the shadow underneath the latex to give a shadow effect. And then I'm going to use a b***ding brush to b***d everything out. And here's the finished look. It almost looks like I'm lifting my skin to reveal the skull underneath. As you can see, you can create skin texture with latex and tissue paper. Remember, practice is key to achieving more detailed and realistic skin textures. I hope you enjoyed this lesson and in the next one, we will create prosthetics from scratch. Please stay tuned. 5. Create SFX Makeup Prosthetics From Scratch: Creating prosthetics from scratch using aluminum foil and liquid latex is a fun and budget friendly way to add three dimensional effects to your special effects make up. And this lesson is going to guide you on how to do it step by step. For prosthetics, we will be creating tentacles. And here's what we'll need. First, we'll need some liquid latex, which is the most common material to make prosthetics. I'm also going to be using aluminum, food foil. You'll see how flexible this material is to create prosthetics. I'll be using Cheerios. You can use anything similar like fruit loops to create the texture on the tentacles. Then we'll need some Mod podge or a sealant, some all purpose flour. Any kind of paint or spray paint. I'm going to be using face paint. I like to cover my work desk with either some re, usable plastic or paper, because these projects can get messy. I'm going to start with some aluminum foil. And because I'm creating three tentacles, I'm going to tear up three pieces of foil. And these will be molded into tentacles by crushing, pressing, and molding. Aluminum foil is so flexible that you can shape them into anything, and you can make it as big or as small as you prefer. I'm going to do the same with all the three foil pieces. So we have three tentacles. Next, we need to add some texture to the tentacles using Cheerios. These tiny circles will make it look like real tentacles. I'll be using mot patch to stick the Cheerios to the foil. I'm going to pour a little bit in a cup and paint it to the outer side of the tentacles. Before I stick the Cheerios over it, I'm going to do the same with the other two tentacles as well. And then I'm going to let it completely dry before I go over each tentacle with the mot porch. Again, as a sealant, this is not only going to seal your tentacle, but will also form a smooth surface layer. And it becomes very easy to paint over this. If you have residue of mat page left on your brush, you can simply use a makeup remover to wipe it clean. And then you can wash it off with some soap and water and it comes off very easily. The mart page will dry transparent in about 20 minutes. You can also speed up the drying process by using a hair dryer. The next step is to paint the tentacles. And for this, I'm going to be using face paints. This is the men Paradise palette. Face paints are usually water activated, so I'm going to have a bowl of water beside the paints, and I'm going to start with this purple shade. And start painting all over the tentacle, leaving the center for a different color. Although we did not use any mot page in the back of the tentacle, I'm still going to paint it, although the back is usually covered. I like to add a little bit of paint there as well. And then I'm going to use this bright red in the center and over the Cheerios Now to paint the tentacles, I'm just using a flat shading brush. You can use any kind of paint brush. I'll make sure to get the inside of the Cheerios as well. And I'm also going to b***d out the sides with the purple shade. I'm next going to use white paint to highlight the Cheerios that should give a nice texture to the tentacle. I painted all the three tentacles and I'm going to let it dry for about an hour. And now it's time to make these into attachable prosthetics for which you will need some liquid latex. The one that I'm using is the Monster brand from Amazon. I'm pouring some liquid latex in a bowl to mix with some flour. I'm also going to pour a little bit on the side, which we will use for molding, to mix in the latex and to make it thicker, I'm going to be using some all purpose flour, which is the most common flour to use. You can also use rice flour or corn flour. I'm just taking it in a bowl on the side. I'm going to keep on adding and mixing the flour into the latex till I'm happy with the consistency. And when I say consistency, it should almost look like toothpaste. And that mixing ratio is approximately two parts of latex to one part of flour. Next, I'm going to scoop out a teaspoonful of latex and make three equal parts. Almost like three small hills. And with the extra latex that I took on the side, I'm going to start thinning and flattening the sides of the latex. I'm going to do that for all the three. And then I'm going to insert the backside of the tentacle into the latex, making sure it's completely attached to the latex. If needed, you can use a little bit more latex to attach the base to the tentacle. After attaching molding and flattening, it should look something like this. I'm just going to let this dry and set overnight. It's the next morning, and once it's dry, it should look something like this. It should feel very soft and squishy to the touch and should be completely dry. Now, I'm going to slowly lift on the sides and start detaching the latex from the plate. You can use some dry flour to dust it right underneath the latex. That helps to slide it off much faster. And the way to do it is to start slowly loosening the latex while you dust some flower underneath, while slowly detaching it by gently pulling it upward. And once you detach it, you can now cut and separate the three tentacles. You don't have to attach the tentacles, you can make them as three separate hills. I like to always attach them because you can cut it as big or as small as you prefer. I personally like to leave an inch off the flat surface around the latex to secure it to my skin so it stays intact. And here are the finished latex prosthetics that can be used to create a look, which we will cover in the next lesson. Keep in mind that crafting prosthetics may involve some trial and error. Be patient and enjoy the process. In the upcoming lesson, we will use these prosthetics to create a fantasy creature and leave everyone mesmerized. 6. How To Create a Seamless Look With Prosthetics: In the previous lesson, we learned how to make prosthetics from scratch, but how do you create a look with prosthetics and how do you attach it to your skin? It's a process in itself to make it look seamless and realistic. And this lesson will teach you how to do exactly that. The look that we'll create is of a fantasy creature with tentacles coming out of the face. First, let's gather everything that we'll need for this lesson. We'll need the prosthetic tentacles that we prepared in the previous lesson. Then need liquid latex, some toilet paper or tissue paper, some basic make up and make up brushes. Let's start with make up first. I'm going to be using foundation and the one that I'm using today is the make up forever H D skin. I'm going to.it around my face and b***d it out with a foundation brush. You can use any foundation that you have and you can either b***d it out with a brush sponge or even your fingers. I'm next going to be using a concealer. And the one that I love and use quite often is the Milani conceal. And I'm using the shade, warm beige or 145 because it's a true match to my skin tone. Which will help me cover the uneven skin tone and patches around my mouth and around my eyes. Once again, using the foundation brush, I'm going to b***d everything out. Now let's add some dimension using contour. This is the fenty contour stick in the shade truffle. And I'm going to use it to create natural looking shadows under my cheek bones, on the sides of my nose, as well as in my jaw line. And that should help to add structure and dimension to my face. Make sure to b***d everything out before you set with powder. Today I'm going to be using a translucent powder from Lor Mercie with a large powder brush. I'm going to dust it all over my face and neck to set the make up using the house labs eyebrow pencil in black. I'm going to fill in my browse to give it some shape before I use eye shadows. The eye shadow palette that I'm going to be using today is called culture palette by Julia's place. And I'm going to start with this pink shade called Bo to define my outer corner. And the crease, b***ding it out with a b***ding brush. I'm also going to smoke it out in my lower lash line because we used purple in the tentacles. I'm going to pick up this beautiful purple shade called Ecowas and apply it right beside the pink eye shadow on my lid and in my lower lash line, smoking it out. Using a highlighter, I'm going to highlight my inner corner as well as brow bone before I finish up with a coat of mascara and lashes. For mascara, I'm going to be using the Milani highly rated mascara. And for false lashes, I'm going to be using Lily lashes in foam ing. And here is the completed eye look. Next I'm going to be using some blush. I'm using the Patrick Ta blush in she's a doll. I'm going to apply a generous amount to my cheekbones and a little bit around my face just to add some color flips stick. This one was especially made for Halloween by color pop, and it's called Hello Boys. It's a liquid lipstick. And to add a little bit of drama to this black lipstick, I'm going to highlight it with a shimmery purple shade called Katanga. And here is the completed makeup application to this. Of course now we will be attaching prosthetics. I like to use a head band to push all my hair back before I attach it, before I actually use a glue and start sticking the prosthetics to my face. I like to place the prosthetics without the glue to see where it fits. Then with the note pencil, I'm going to mark those areas around the prosthetics. I know exactly where I need to apply the latex, which will be the glue to stick the prosthetics. Again, I'm going to be using the Monster liquid latex with a flat shading brush. I'm going to start painting the latex around the area that I just marked with the nude pencil. I'm also going to paint the prosthetic with the latex. It sticks well to my skin by using prosthetics around the hair line. Make sure to paint only the area that sticks to your skin because you don't want the latex to get on your hair. You don't have to worry about it. It's going to be pretty strong and it's going to stick really well to the skin, even if you paint half of the prosthetic. Then I'm also going to apply some latex around the borders of the prosthetic to seal it. And I'm going to repeat the same with the other two prosthetics as well. Now if you want to smooth out the borders of the latex further on your face, you can also use acetone. It melts the silicone or the latex. You can definitely do that when applying latex below your eye, anywhere on your face, always keep your eyes shut as the vapors from the latex can go up and irritate your eyes. It's completely safe to use latex on your face as far as you don't have any allergies to latex, most of the movies that you see with special effects use latex to build and attach the prosthetics. To b***d the prosthetic in with your skin. You can use acetone around the prosthetic to melt the latex and b***d in with your skin before you use the foundation. But today I want to show you a different method. I'm going to be using foundation directly, and I'm going to use the one that I used on my face to b***d everything together. And then I'm going to be using a bronzer to add some depth around. You can also use a brown eye shadow for the prosthetics to b***d in my skin. I will add shadows to all the prosthetics and also around the prosthetics on my skin. This is just one of the ways to attach prosthetics, but today we want to create some texture around the prosthetics and make it look like these tentacles are growing out of my face and out of my skin. To make it more realistic, I'm going to be creating some texture around the prosthetics. As we know, the easiest way to create some texture on the skin is to use latex and some kind of tissue paper or toilet paper. I'm using toilet paper here because it's cheap. I'm going to separate the layers of the toilet paper so I get a thinner layer. And then I'm going to start tearing it into smaller strips before I attach it around the prosthetics using latex, I'm going to first apply the latex and then I'm going to stick the tissue paper over it. As we learned in one of the previous lessons, the tissue paper and latex give a nice texture to the skin. Over the tissue paper, I'm going to paint a second layer of latex to seal it. I'm going to continue to do the same around all the prosthetics, letting it dry before I add dimensions, again using foundation and brown eye shadow. Now that it's dry, I'm going to add a little bit more texture by opening up towards the prosthetic so it looks like the tentacles are actually growing out of my skin. The next step is to use foundation and b***d it with the skin that gives an illusion of textured skin that's peeling off To this, I'm going to apply the brown eye shadow, shading it to give dimension. For the final step, I'm going to be using some gel eyeliner. If you're going to be attaching the prosthetic closer to your hair line, you can either use a gel eyeliner or a black face paint to paint around the headline on the prosthetic and shade it off. Before using the hair to cover up the top of the prosthetic, I'm going to part my hair on one side and secure it with a Bobby pen. And here is the completed look. Once you get a hang of making and attaching prosthetics, you can create any kind of prosthetics and any kind of look with it. And how do you remove the prosthetics? It's super simple, just like you see in movies. Lift off from one end and slowly pull it off. It comes off very easily and then you can wash off with some water and cleanser to remove any make up and any latex residue that's left behind. Prosthetics, in few special effects, make up with life like authenticity, evoking genuine emotions with a little bit of creativity, some prosthetics and make up, you can bring anything to life. I hope you enjoyed this lesson. 7. Conclusion: Bravo for completing this thrilling S effects. Make up class unlocking the gates to your wildest imagination. But hold on, it doesn't stop there.
