Special Effects Makeup Artists

Special Effects Makeup artists assist in pre-production and production stages of films. IXT Studio artists do special fx make up for local independent films, haunted houses, and theatre productions.

During the Halloween season, Mayling Pao is a lead make up artist for Fright Nights at the South Florida Fairgrounds in West Palm Beach. She also does creative body painting for events and competitions.

Below are some samples of work and behind-the-scenes photos for different projects.
