Class Experience

Welcome to MUA Co-op school of makeup artistry. We teach aspiring makeup artists, makeup enthusiasts, cosplay lovers, and theater students how to use makeup artistry & household items to complete special effects makeup looks on a budget. We empower students to have fun, be themselves, love and respect themselves and others, be confident and outgoing, foster a spirit of community, and explore the breadth of their creativity through artistry. Above all else, we aim to teach students to be their most authentic and joyful self through the art of makeup. All skill levels are welcomed and encouraged to participate! 

We empower students to create a SFX makeup look of their own choosing. However, students may choose to follow on directly with the teacher. Students will learn by verbal instruction and live demonstration of the complete process.

We highly recommend acquiring liquid latex and spirit gum for SFX looks, however, Mentor MUA's are happy to demonstrate how common household items like toilet paper and glue can be used to create budget friendly SFX effects.

Learning Goals

Special Effects Makeup (SFX)
How to do SFX makeup effects like scars, bruises, zombie effects, and more out of cotton balls, paper towels, wax, spirit gum, liquid latex, and fake blood, repurposed or recycled materials, makeup, paper, and/or other easily accessible & affordable materials.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Parental supervision is recommended. Please be aware that some students may find SFX makeup effects disturbing. Students may be required to use scissors, liquid latex, fake blood, prosthetics, spirit gum. Please be aware of possible allergic reactions. We ask that a parent/guardian assist students if they will be using a hot glue gun. Please be aware that makeup artists often utilize their neck and chest as a canvas for bodypaint. Students and teachers may wear a sleeveless shirt. SFX Makeup is a respected art form and we will not be discussing or joking about those who are suffering in real life.
Supply List
Teacher will provide a detailed list of products and tools they will be using. However, teachers emphasize ingenuity and improvisation. There are many ways to achieve the same makeup look and teacher will help students to find a suitable substitution found within their own makeup kits. For students that don't have any professional SFX products or tools of their own, we have included an informative supply list to help you choose which products to begin with. Additionally, we provide all students with a printable facechart and vision board. 

Students will need a quiet, organized, well lit workspace.

Commonly Used SFX Makeup Tools:
Scissors, spirit gum, hot glue gun & glue, lip liner, liquid latex, fake blood, cotton balls, kitchen towel, body/ face paints (cream or water based), variety of eyeshadows, make up, makeup sponges, and makeup brushes.
