ALL ACCESS PASS

Meet Emmy-Winning Makeup Design Alum Emily Walsh

In 2024, alumni Suzie Klimack and Emily Walsh both won Emmys for their makeup artistry on the Disney+ smash-hit Shōgun (14 total VFS Makeup alumni worked on the show!). Emily Walsh will be at the event for a Q&A on her experience at VFS, working on Disney’s hit series, and more. 

As well, Head of Department Stan Edmonds, (Scary Movie, The Butterfly Effect, I Robot) will explain how VFS’s Makeup Design program launches your career in production makeup and why it creates award-winning artists; aside from the Emmys, our Makeup alumni have won 68+ IMATS, 9 Leos, and even the SYFY competition reality series Face Off.  

Experience a Live Prosthetic Transformation

Watch in real-time throughout the event as a VFS Makeup Artist applies prosthetics to a subject and get a detailed look at the products they’re using. The big reveal happens at the end of the day; witness the subject’s spooktacular Halloween transformation into Frankenstein’s monster. You’ll also get to view a video demo on staining teeth and see the terrifying effects that this process has on an actor (something right out of the likes of Evil Dead)!

Production Makeup Show & Tell

VFS’s Makeup department will “show & tell” the prosthetics, life casts, molds, masks, wigs, hairpieces, etc. that you'll use in the program, allowing you to take a close look at a variety of industry-standard tools the professionals use. You’ll also take a look at the official VFS Makeup Kit – your essential starter kit that you receive as part of your tuition on Day 1 at VFS.

Your Personal Portfolio Review

The final portion of the event will be dedicated to portfolio reviews with our faculty. Don’t be shy! The VFS Makeup department is looking forward to reviewing your work – anything on your phone or in a physical portfolio that illustrates your passion for makeup design. You’ll also have the chance to view past student work to see what you could achieve at VFS.
