Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: *Please no requests for beauty makeup or children's face painting. I am offering services for special FX makeup for Halloween only. Thank you! :) I specialize in gore and special FX makeup services for Halloween - the bloodier and more gruesome, the better!!! Bring me your dreams of bruises, scars, gaping wounds, gunshots, stabbings and zombie faces and I'll make them come true - with makeup... I won't hurt you, promise. I am a little bit old school sticking with the traditional latex and face/body paints as my preferred method, so no airbrush makeup. Also, I like to make your overall look cohesive (e.g. zombie makeup includes hands/visible skin areas, teeth rot, bloodied and dirtied clothing) for the best dramatic effect. I want you to have THE BEST costume out there!! I will be available Thursday and Friday evening and all day Saturday and Sunday given that Halloween events will be in full swing ahead of Halloween Monday. I can also be available on Halloween itself if there is demand - do people still party on Mondays? This is NYC, so I'm guessing yes... Drop me a line to discuss your makeup to complete your look for Halloween 2016! I am excited to make you a bloody, terrifying mess!! I love seeing the reaction of my clients when they see what I've done to them and hearing of the reactions they got on their Halloween night. Last year a few of my clients won contests and prizes for their costumes/makeup, that made me so happy!! I enjoy people winning, at anything! :)

Melanie is AMAZING! She helped me to achieve the PERFECT skeleton face makeup. I've seen many attempts at this Halloween face and with that I've seen many failures, but that was not the case with Melanie on my side. Being fair skinned with very blonde hair I was a bit concerned a full face of makeup would be overwhelming but with Melanie's artistic hand my makeup was the talk of the night, even won be a free bar tab! Her ability to understand exactly what her client is looking for is unparalleled. She is extremely professional and provides a fantastic end product. I cannot praise her work enough! Melanie will be my makeup guru again this coming Halloween and has even helped me to decide on my look this year, a face full of Pop Art! Thanks again Melanie, you're the BEST!

I wanted to go as a Zombie to a party in 2014, got in touch with Mel and the results blew me away.. pretty much looked like I should have been on Walking Dead.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    Pricing is dependent on the complexity and time required for your final design, and will be agreed upon through the consultation process.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    I like to be prepared - which means we will begin with a call or email exchange to discuss the specifics of your makeup needs. From there we will confirm the overall look and pricing and set our appointment date!

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I am self- taught and looking to grow across many different creative pursuits.
