About
*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! :)

This was my first experience using thumbtack, and boy I got a gem. Melanie was hired to create a unique look for a frankenstein character I was playing in a 1 act festival competition. Mel was professional in all areas. Clear line of communication always available. In addition to doing the makeup she was given artistic control over making a basic black blazer into frankensteins mojo - coat. It also is necessary to mention that we were on a tight schedule, which she handled with fluidity. I can assure u this is the first of many jobs utilizing her creativity and and passion. Can't go wrong with this mighty one from down under

Melly did my and my husband's make-up for a Halloween party and we looked AWESOME! We received so many compliments throughout the night - I'm so glad we went with Melly rather than trying to do it ourselves. Melly was really nice and great to work with - she made the whole process easy and fun. Thank you, Melly!

I had Melanie do my zombie make up and it was amazing. It was for my birthday and turned out to be a $1000 look for under $100. I highly recommend her, great service and the products she used were non irritant for my skin.

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.
