SFX Makeup Club: Advanced Character of the Week

SFX Makeup Club: Advanced Character of the Week

A weekly club for teens ages 13 to 17 with SFX makeup experience. Each week members create a different character, from zombie to elf to old age, and share techniques.

Class Experience

The teacher introduces the character and demonstrates the key technique in close-up. Members then work on their own version for most of the class while the teacher gives individual tips. Class ends with a camera-on reveal. Looks are creative and theatrical, and members can swap any character for a milder one.

How classes work

The club meets every week for 55 minutes with up to 8 learners. There is no last class: each meeting stands on its own, so learners can join in any week and stay as long as they like.

Example weekly themes

  • Fantasy Elf – Contour, ear illusion and shimmer.

  • Old Age – Wrinkles, shadows and gray brows.

  • Zombie (Stylized) – Pale base, sunken eyes and texture.

  • Robot or Cyborg – Metallic panels and seams.

  • Animal Face – Shape change with highlight and shadow.

  • Original Character – Design and present your own.
