Growing Special Effects Makeup Business offers more with Custom Orders.
The creative force behind Pygmalion FX have been pursuing her passion for Special Effects makeup for over 15 years in the Haunted Attraction industry in Salt Lake City, Utah and Boise, Idaho. After the October haunt season in 2012, she was determined to make a splash in the film industry with my talents. To make her passion for creature, character, and gore makeup into a successful business.
The artist behind Pygmalion FX have been employed in the theatrical, television, film, and performing arts industries applying and designing makeup, from the fantastical to the gorey.
The Owner, Lesli Spencer, is pursuing a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Theater Design at the University of Utah, emphasizing in Hair and Makeup, expecting to graduate in 2017. She is excited to begin designing and styling custom wigs and postiches, as well as facial hair such as eyebrows, mustaches and beards. Once confident in her abilities, you may be certain such products available in the shop.
By purchasing items from Pygmalion FX you will support our ability to bring you more of the products you love. We enjoy receiving custom requests, and with the increased interest in the artistic integrity of our shop, we are about two months out for completion of current custom items.
Currently our prosthetics are made of a slip or slush mask liquid latex. Which is heavier, and less stretchy and giving than foam latex appliances. Within the next few months we will be working in foam latex, and even later silicone appliances. Liquid latex appliances are similar to gelatine appliances in weight, but will not dissolve with heat or water stress.
We recommend using the adhesive, sell in the shop or a medical adhesive, such as Prosaide, to adhere the prosthetic appliances to the skin. Spirit Gum may be used as an adhesive as well, but many find it more irritating to the skin. The appliance can be removed by pulling it from the skin, but we recommend an adhesive remover like the one sold in the shop or another such as Telesis, or mineral spirits. Please avoid getting these products in the eyes, nose, or mouth.
Included with your purchase will be instructions for how to apply your new appliance and remove it as well.
Stay tuned!
Thank you.
