We are looking for an experienced and creative makeup artist for film who can bring characters to life through makeup and special effects. As a makeup artist, you will work closely with directors, actors, and costume designers to ensure that the characters' appearance aligns with the film's visual style and narrative. You will be responsible for applying makeup, creating special effects, and maintaining continuity in the characters' looks throughout the filming process.
The job requires precision, creativity, and the ability to work under pressure in a dynamic production environment. You must be able to adapt to different genres and styles, from realistic makeup to imaginative and dramatic looks. Experience with special effects makeup, such as wounds, aging, and prosthetics, is a significant advantage.
You will also be responsible for maintaining and organizing makeup equipment, following hygiene standards, and collaborating with other departments to ensure a smooth production. The position requires flexibility in working hours, as filming often takes place early in the morning, late at night, or on weekends.
We are looking for someone with a passion for film and visual storytelling, who has a strong portfolio and proven experience from previous film or television productions. If you have an eye for detail, are a great team player, and love creating characters through makeup, we would love to hear from you.
