Beginner's SFX Kit

[@elliesvensson7462]

Please do the common beginner mistakes ! It would help a lot! My looks look okay but there always just seems to be something a tiny bit off 💕

[@tiamoulton7336]

Ellie Svensson same with me

[@zeekay7512]

You should do a video on your SFX makeup collection. I just started doing SFX at Uni and wanted to know what products you recommend for building your kit as you get more experienced. Thanks!

[@Maazzzo]

I really like these beginner's vids - so interesting! Thank you for uploading them!

[@Vousie]

3:45 for the start of the actual kit.

I know it’s 3 years later, but tyyyyyy

[@myeengunskoo]

Would you consider doing a more advanced version of this video? I want to start doing more advanced things such as mask making and sculpting my own prosthetics and i dont know where to begin and what all i would need to semi-succesfully do it on my own. There's so many mixing mediums and adhesives and sculpting tools and everything its a bit overwhelming! I've been stuck on liquid latex and third degree for too long! Onto bigger and better things! Thank you so much, you're an amazing artist!

[@chaniachaisson]

I have the same dilemma

[@laceyfrieden6896]

Watch glamandgore 's recent video. It's basically a more detailed version of this.

[@funstuff8085]

+Lacey Frieden I came here from her video

[@filmsbycarrie]

squeee this is what i have needed. so glad i found your channel. i have been looking into makeup schools in Scotland for a while now but i have a very small budget unfortunately so i could not afford any of them :-( knowing that you are self taught makes me more comfortable about going out and trying this on my own with channels like your own to help guide me. i watched your resource video as well and have written everything down lol. gonna start building up my kit as soon as i next get money. also thank you for providing a UK online store that i can purchase these items from xxx

[@miha_parvulescu]

Your tutorials are pure gold to me! I am learning so much from you, having in view that I am a beginner in the prosthetics makeup. I am thankful for finding your page! :) Greetings from Romania!

[@nunyabusiness164]

Thank you for making this! I wasn't sure where to start :P

[@WakeMeUpInVegas]

This was awesome! I'm just beginning to get into SFX and this has helped a BUNCH!!

[@livvyross2469]

I don't know if you could help but I'm in the uk & I'm 15 and I'm very keen on making a short zombie film, it's not going to be amazing obviously but I think adding some gore will make it look much more professional and realistic rather than a lot of people running around hahah! I'm going to follow a girl trying to deal being now alone in the zombie apocalypse and right at the end she's going to be bitten (I'm going to clever and not show any zombies though) and I want to do some cool scratches / bites / makeup & I wondering if you knew places I could order beginner stuff (that's cheap!) that show the prices in pounds and ship or are in the uk? Thanks so much! Love your videos, you've inspired me! Sorry for the long message o_o x

[@nadeycakes]

Love how informative your videos are! I have a few questions I was hoping you could help answer. How long should you leave for a latex patch test and what is the best way to clean stippling sponges? Xx

[@rangerrixx]

Nice video... Maybe in the future talk about how to organize your stuff for on the road projects ... i.e. do you use something like a fishing tackle box? Thanks.

[@mollyfoy655]

i hope i'm not alone when i watched this vid first starting out and was offened that she didnt like latex, but now i understand why its a pain in the ass considering i also ruined my 99 dollar jeans! It also can be problematic. i will say that the uneven build up of latex is great for zombies, wounds, or old age stipple.

[@lindsvanleeuwen3267]

Omg! I spilt liquid latex on my 80 dollars jogging pants. I searched online for DAYS trying to find a way to remove it, but nobody could find a way to get it out of clothes. BUT ... I scrubbed my jogging pants with lemon oil, and it came out completely!! So hopefully this helps if you ever spill liquid latex on clothing again😊

[@Maazzzo]

+Molly Foy I'm allergic to latex, so I was happy she talked about alternatives!

[@ethancarroll]

hey guys just to help you all i found on crcmakeup.com the skin tones palette. it goes by a different name though. its $19.95 USD and $26.54 AUD. its called the mehron mask cover makeup - olive series palette :)

[@sammakesvlogs]

thank you very much for this, i've always wanted to start out never knew where to start :) but thanks to this it's going to get me on the right track. thanks again :) love your channel.

[@faithiex]

I have been watching so many sfx videos, and by far, your's are my favorite! I was wondering if I should buy the nose and scar wax, 3rd degree, or sculpt gel. I can't decide which one to get. And also, if I were to get the nose and scar wax, does it need to be applied with Spirit Gum? I have seen some youtubers use it and others do not. If you could help me that would be greatly appreciated! x

[@faithiex]

Thank you! I will be sure to try that out.

[@faithiex]

Ok! That helps a lot! Thank you so much!

[@emmaadamson1523]

I got 3rd degree and its really good!

[@seriesmasters4638]

Nose and scar wax is very very fragile as she said but then again third degree is very expensive as well as sculpt gel. If your a beginner I would defo recommend making gelatin at home using a sachet and glycerine with a bit of water. Or you could buy mehron 3D gelatin. Just to yano play around and see what you like best xx ( hope this helped)

[@Raniratt]

You should do a video showing your sfx makeup kit :)

[@mayd3973]

Kiana, You rock. Thanks a ton for a great video! :D I do have one question for you, I am currently going through lists, videos, webpages, etc... I added up your list, it's roughly $100, which is the same price (roughly) as Mehron's Special FX pro kit... wondering if you, with experience, would suggest a pre-made kit, like that or building your own to start off with. Thank you! :)

[@mayd3973]

Yes! Exactly what I was looking at :D Thanks so much for your input! I really appreciate it!

[@AnastasiaSilvi]

After watching this video I'm actually a little scared to start with sfx. The kit seems to be quite expensive and technical. Might need to go to an actual makeup school or class to do it right and safely. Sticking to face painting for now. But I like textures :"

[@sophieusedcharm]

honestly just start with liquid latex and tissue :) then build your kit up v slowly

[@faithfierro160]

I honestly started with home made scar wax & homemade blood & then you can buy little palates of purple, black, and red grease paint at party city for $1.50 not expensive at all!! 😊😊 & you can go on amazon and buy a pint of liquid latex for $8

[@subtleoblivionmaze6744]

Yeah, I started off with latex. It's always best to start off with that.

[@kitty-yv1wo]

AnastasiaSilvi try just buying latex grease paints and blood u can make at home and isopropl myristate to remove the latex btw these r really cheap and easy to use

[@JoshVlogs11]

What does the gelatin feel like on skin? I've never used it, all that I usually use is scar wax and latex. Is it comfortable and easy to move your face with?

[@charlottepickering2554]

I am a complete beginner, would you still recommend using silicon or gelatin as an alternative to liquid latex? And what are the best brands to use?

[@arsfx-sj3fo]

Great video! Thanks for sharing it's really useful!😘

[@elizabethmcmillan9887]

What are the best colored contacts that are safe to use?

[@AirglamGuru]

Hey Kiana did you try CRCmakeup.com in the Usa? They have a lot of these products and their shipping charges to Australia are much lower (they don't charge any handling). I love them!!!

[@MadiLush]

Yay, I have all this stuff, except the adhesive remover. :/ Is there anything else that will take spirit gum off? Before I cover my face in it for halloween.

[@donutlover1012]

Usually the spirit gum comes with remover

[@kaileymachete]

I'm not necessarily a beginner make artist, but I do have a lot of questions regarding how to get started with an actual career. I'm a junior in high school right now and plan on going to Cinema Makeup school in LA but I am not really sure where to go from there so any helpful tips would be wonderfully appreciated.

[@natalym.450]

This doesn't help but Same . I read on their site about career stuff look into it if you haven't already (:

[@barbaraharmon4299]

What brand of silicone do you use and where can it be ordered from?

[@GinnyE25]

Great video Freakmo. :-)

[@GinnyE25]

I really like how you mentioned Health and Safety information at the beginning of the video. :-)Mikah

[@MiningPuppie]

Do live in Australia or America or some place else cause your cool and i want to do something like these but I'm in Australia. So I'm curious what country you live in? Plz answer 😀

[@elden2708]

Lol when u ain't got no money

[@samijust8786]

thank you for this, it was very helpful

[@SLN_Clips]

This is really helpful :) Thanks x

[@Finjen22]

In the uk order from red carpet fx - they have everything for sfx and beauty makeup

[@justinaday182]

If you do go to college what college do you go to and what do you go there for? I want to work with Fx make up but I really don't have a good idea what to go into and what colleges will support it

[@taesarnecky8986]

Blanche MacDonald in Canada

[@mollyfoy655]

+Jdy Diaz i think before you invest thousands of dollars in makeup school, you should take an online course. I recomend dick smiths makeup school, its very cheap and offers a great begginers course

[@squigglove]

How can you protect your vellus hair from being ripped off when using silicone and latex?

[@elliegreenart]

Is the Mehron Greasepaint skin tones palate still being sold? I can't seem to find it on the Frends Beauty website, Mehron website, or Amazon.

[@Hyminym]

Thank you for this video!

[@annahornberger6560]

So I'm doing the joker on my crush this Halloween. He's a medium skin tone (he's black), and I was wondering how I would make his face paper white like the joker?? I'm assuming just layers of white face paint would work, but I'm not sure. (I've never worked on dark skin tones, I'm as pale as a vampire)

[@MrAnamchara]

Good stuff again

[@mazyforever]

is spirit gum necessary when using scar wax?

[@cloroxiclean9089]

not necessarily, you could also use other adhesives like prosaid adhesive, or if you are really really desperate at the time, Elmer's glue.

[@gracewelch8921]

When I was beginning I used Elmer's glue for a adhesive and it worked great just make sure it does get in your eye (duh😂)

[@beezlytownley1412]

Not really but a great adhesive is pros aids

[@torisayre7536]

I just have a cheap Party City scar wax that doesn't need that but I also know it may not be Star quality...

[@noaahhh_g]

+Tori Sayre I just have snazzaroo and it works fine

[@morpho_portis]

Thank you a lot for this!

[@paulagarcia5435]

I've been a huge Fx makeup fanatic for over 4 years and it's really sad I can't get any of this in my country and ordering online is impossible for me as the minimum shipping is more than 20 dollar, which converted to my money is realllllly expensive 😔😔😔

[@Nonnitot]

Is rigid collodion safe to use on/around the lips?

[@talaa3]

when I was going to add a stipple sponge into my cart, i had different options of: fine, medium, and coarse. Which one do you recommend?

[@talaa3]

thank youu!!

[@sophiavlogs4097]

A fine stipple sponge feels almost like foam medium has a lot of holes and then coarse is stiff and almost scratchy (medium and coarse are good for blood and others for a random but nice application)

[@Cynnae]

I went to calculate shipping on a 2oz container of nose and scar wax from Frends Beauty and its telling me $78 in shipping to QLD Australia. Is this what you usually pay to get stuff to Aus?

[@Cynnae]

Coolies Thought that mightve been the case. Sydney or ebay it is!! Thanks for the reply :)

[@hla97]

My 10 year old is dying to becoming a sfx artist. What would be a things to get her for xmas to start her a kit?

[@TaylorAlexis-noot]

liquid latex, scar wax, water based paints, (hopefully they know about how liquid latex is a b word to pull off of any area with hair) but those are pretty much basic things you can get for a beginner

[@valentinadstteffano]

There is a Ben Nye 3D effects kit. It gots almost all for a beginner ;)

[@leonelon9364]

Use elmers glue instead of liquid latex...it does the same thing, because you never know she might be allergic

[@rachellyn30]

Just fyi if your planning on buyong the list of things in her bio they discontinued the mehron greasepaint skintones pallette

[@sammyirwin78]

where can i buy the Mehron Greasepaint skin tones in Australia please?????

[@nightsurfer874]

I'm Australia too, I think we have to get them shipped to us once we buy it, I don't think we have them here in Australia

[@AaronW-ww4ds]

Would normal make up setting powder work to set cream sfx products

[@Veronica-wr7ls]

what do you prefer water activated paints or cream based?

[@tillymerrills6471]

Water or alcohol activated alcohol lasts longer x

[@LoveRatherThenHate]

Water activated paints like the Kryolan aquapaints, Ben Nye Megicakes, and Wolfe FX Hydocolor are going to be way better than cream or oil based makeup. The watercolors are easier to apply, are usually more pigmented, will last longer. The main advantage of using the watercolors is that they dry. This is beneficially because they wont smudge as badly as the cream makeup, and layering the colors is so much easier. With the cream makeup, its hard to layer one color over another. They end up just mixing together, and you just end up with mud. I really wish I would have started out using the watercolors when I first started makeup. It makes everything go so much more smoothly.

[@Veronica-wr7ls]

+Joshua Phillips thank you!

[@suzzystar1114]

Please where can i buy the products?

[@n3v3rlvnd29]

Thx so much

[@unicornsaresexy26]

any idea if i can get the listed stuff above in melbourne ?? they don't have it in malaysia & I'm visiting melbourne in a couple months and would love to know if its possible for me to buy the items there. i also don't like buying things online cause parcels usually get lost when its shipped to malaysia :/

[@unicornsaresexy26]

Thank you so much!! :)

[@kaylee42698]

Where can you get a spatula?

[@HollyAndChuck]

what spray gun do you use?

[@jujufelton30]

There should be no dislikes these are training videos like all videos for trying to be helpful if you don't like the videos don't watch them

[@breezie6656]

Do you need a natural talent to do SFX makeup? I understand most people who do it well would have a natural talent, but over time can practice help someone master at least the basics?

[@alfredogomezaegm]

*****

[@AliceEinDreamland]

Breezie of course, i mean its a big benefit if its a talent but if not thats also totally fine. practice makes it perfect. ;)

[@kay4680]

Unless I missed it, Could you list the products please?

[@kay4680]

thank you ;3

[@moanimaldonado5885]

What could I use to make a slit throat last all night? i used wax and it fell off and I didn't like the texture of latex. what else can I use. and no prosthetics. like just thing since can make pretty much

[@morganmiller5034]

You could try Sfx gelatin or 3rd degree ??

[@mollyfarquharson]

put spirit gum on before putting the wax on?

[@miriamhakimian]

you cant use water activated/ grease paint of your eyes?

[@miriamhakimian]

I meant on your eyes

[@glamcookiemonsterz2494]

Miriam Livian you can use water activated paints on your eyes just not grease paints because u use alcohol to activate it

[@anusuyarajbharath4339]

Wr do I get this product

[@insolencestar]

Isopropyl Myristate? No? Okay. Good luck with that.

[@kitty-yv1wo]

Hallie Galloway. Ikr

It’s incredibly hard for us Australians to get this product.

[@corbinbrier0]

I prefer to make my blood..'cause that sounds normal...

[@evilravenpython6664]

[@ysg2788]
