Special Effects MUA
Exploring the Career of a Special Effects Makeup Artist

Lights, camera, transformation!

Behind every on-screen horror or sci-fi legend, there’s a special effects MUA with a palette resembling something from another galaxy.

Each item a reference to many genres and stories consumed during endless working nights.
