Or how a werewolf bite is created? In this FX makeup class, we will explore all of the tricks of movie magic. Each class will be tailored specifically for a Vampire Diaries\/Originals\/Legacies effect from your favorite show. No supplies or experience needed. A volunteer will be selected each class to be our model (please note all allergies must be discussed before you may be selected). For one hour, you will learn a whole new skill for any cosplay or Halloween look. Come join us on SUNDAY! Meet your makeup artist: My name is Victoria Righthand! I am a licensed esthetician who has been working in beauty and special effects makeup for 10 years. From fun photoshoots to short films, and Halloween events, I have worked with a variety of mediums and people to give you all a well-rounded insight into the world of special effects. Some of my work with the Supernatural cast is photographed above. Hope to see you at a class!
