Tips and Tricks to Remove SFX Make-Up!

2/13/2019

Getting fake blood and makeup off after a shoot may be a challenge, but when working with Special Effects Make-up, it's a big requirement and part of the fun of being an actor! In order for you are ready for the next day, here are some tips and tricks that will help you get your scratches, burns and wounds off with a bit more ease!

Oil-Based Products:
A number of household oil-based products that can speed the process of removing a fake blood stain from your skin. These are petroleum jelly, baby oil, and olive oil. Rub one of these oil based products into the blood-stained area with a makeup-removal pad or a cotton ball.

Toothpaste:
Depending on how sensitive your skin is, grab a non-gel tube of toothpaste, preferably one with baking soda. Just like using an oil-based product use a makeup-removal pad or a cotton ball and rub over the blood-stained area in a circular motion. Then rinse with warm water.

Shaving cream:
Some non-gel shaving cream and dispense some into your hands. Rub the shaving cream on the blood-stained area as you would with soap. Rinse with warm water.

Makeup Remover:
Makeup remover is designed to get coloured dyes off your face/body, so for removing fake blood stains from your skin, this is a good place to start. Many Make-up artists and stylists have this on hand at the end of the day!

Lemon Juice:
Lemon juice is not so much as a stain remover as it is a bleaching agency, so it won’t remove the stain, but it might make it faint enough to deal with until your body naturally replaces old skin cells.

There are many ways to remove your SFX make-up and we hope these few tips help you find what works best for you and your skin!
