Listen "Eyes On Special Effects Makeup Artist Carleigh Herbert"
Episode Synopsis
From TEEN WOLF’s werewolves to HBO's most anatomically detailed prosthetics, special effects makeup artist Carleigh Herbert takes us behind the scenes of Hollywood's jaw-dropping transformations.
Discover how a dancing career pivot led her down an unexpected career path, why blood continuity is an art form, and what it's really like spending three hours applying... well, let's just say HBO's MINX required some very specialized prosthetics skills. Carleigh shares war stories from other major productions (AMERICAN HORROR STORIES, V/H/S, and THE SEX LIVES OF COLLEGE GIRLS), the delicate dance of working with actors who resist period-accurate makeup, and why the hair and makeup trailer is the pulse of any film set.
Whether you're fascinated by the technical wizardry of special effects or curious about the human side of Hollywood production, this episode offers an unfiltered look at the story behind the spectacle.
