5 more body art and SFX artists you need

25 Apr

As our identities become increasingly enmeshed with digital worlds, it’s easy to feel split between who we are online and who we are IRL. It’s a reckoning that’s led us to view our real-life selves as avatars we can upgrade, customise and deck out into new forms. One medium that has been expressing those ideas is the world of SFX and body art.

5 prosthetics and SFX make-up artists you need to

There was a time when prosthetics and SFX make-up were reserved for monster movies, gory fight scenes and maybe an ambitious Halloween costume. Over the last few years, however, we’ve seen a steady infiltration into the world of fashion, editorials and celebrity. Animals have been a popular trend – think Collina Strada’s barnyard animals at the AW23 show, for example, or Doja Cat’s transformation at the 2023 Met Gala into Karl Lagerfeld’s cat, Choupette. Then there’s been the rising popularity of pain and injury make-up. At Rombaut in Paris last season, SFX make-up was used to make it look like models had been in a fight with cuts, scars and footprint welts, and celebrities including Charli xcx, Doja Cat and...
