A Beginner's Guide to Special Makeup Effects: Volume 2 is out on September 2nd, time for some sneak peeks! You can learn to do every makeup I'll be posting in this series, following along step-by-step with me. To begin the series, how about something a little sexy and a little sci-fi? This was very much inspired by the makeups I grew up admiring on the various Star Trek series back in the 80s and 90s.

Meet Faux Cruz, the newest member of the family! He debuted in the season 10 premiere for some of the water action. And he comes with accessories! Two different faces to give the director of the option of eyes open or eyes closed. The last picture is when I took @joeminoso 's lifecast a couple years ago, it was for his wedding episode when he smacked his face on the truck.

Working on my first digital matrix mold shell, been a minute since I've had time to play in Zbrush. Still struggling with some of the details, there aren't a lot of good tutorials out there, but I'm slowly figuring it out...

Been a minute since I've done stained glass but it's coming back to me. Working on a 10th birthday present for my niece Zoe. #AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent
Demonstrating the foaming mouth capsules for the higher-ups. Shocking that even after a performance like this they didn't offer me a position on the cast. Somebody fire my agent. 🎥: @francesm.makeupartist

I just found a companion to that bathroom video. Here I'm breaking down the pumping rig we used for a pool of blood spreading under the door. I can't post the scene from the finished episode because it's owned by NBC so you'll just have to go check out episode 14x07 of #ChicagoFire to see for yourself! 🎥: @francesm.makeup

Life casting is often the first step when doing effects makeup, like this head cast @francesm.makeup and I took of @joey.filippelli1 a couple years back for a burn makeup. I'd guesstimate the entire process was about 45 minutes, it was actually right after this timelapse I installed a clock in the background so that you can track it. No stunt performers were harmed in the making of this video.
