The Details

In addition to SFX and Face & Body Paint submissions, we are looking for talented makeup artists and makeup lovers to join in the fun! The Camera Ready Cosmetics team will select FOUR total winners (two from each category) based on their overall use of the makeup, creativity, and passion for all things SFX and beauty. Photo and video quality will be considered.

For our Total Transformation category, go all out! This category is for the SFX lovers, prosthetic experts and anyone wanting to show off the full range of their skills. Submit looks with abundant use of fake blood, wounds, and full face and/or body paint transformations to partake in this category. Gore and prosthetics are not required.

For our Glam category, we invite you to create a makeup look that shows off your skills and creativity. Combine both traditional makeup techniques with SFX or face/body paint elements while not fully transforming yourself. Minimal gore elements may be included in this category.

Examples are provided below the FAQ.
