Special FX Makeup by Melissa Itwar

Ready to get freaky? Melissa's Special FX makeup comes highly recommended, and very gross!

Custom Makeup Prosthetics

When the look calls for 3D realism that you just can't fake with painted effects or store-bought pieces, you can work with Melissa to draft, sculpt, mold and make custom prosthetics unique to your story. Depending on placement, position and duration, we'll decide the best material for your prosthetic needs.

Blood and Gore Makeup

Whether your character needs simple scratches, deep cuts, bullet wounds, or out-of-kit skin prosthetics, Melissa has you covered! Using primarily Ben Nye Special FX materials, Melissa stocks a variety of materials and adhesives to account for possible allergies and reactions. Your production can safely get the gory mess of your wildest dreams!

 

Face and Body Paint

Need to transform skin to something otherworldly and fantastical? From face to full body, Melissa can create different textures, designs and details. Become a statue, skeleton, demonic, undead, or beautifully ethereal - it's all possible!
