Background Information on Makeup FX
Makeup FX began as my personal collection of Halloween-related recipes in makeup effects as a twelve-year old kid and has exploded to an international phenomenon. Makeup FX, officially uploaded to the Web on January 24, 2001, through CNET's Download.com, has generated over 30,000 downloads and has been well-received among both amateur and professional makeup artists world-wide. The success of Makeup FX has led to several editions which eventually went off the path Makeup FX was intended to go down, from providing a cheap and easy collection of makeup recipes to eventually requiring expensive materials often difficult to obtain. Makeup FX has returned to its glory days, similarly designed as it was in 2001 but with a more improved interface. Makeup FX continues to be used by anyone interested in the craft.
Foreword
Friends,
Aw, how I remember the days I dreamed of working in film when I was in my preteens. Unfortunately, adulthood has a way of changing things, but I can always find ways to help amateur film makers any way I can. Started as an idea when I was 13, Makeup FX is my personal portfolio of recipes and ideas concerning the craft of makeup and special effects from home-based ingredients. I converted Makeup FX into a Web format in 2000 using Netscape®'s free Webpage designing software. I was fortunate it has received over 30,000 downloads and received recognition among some professionals. I hope Makeup FX will make your projects interesting and unique as much as I have enjoyed turning it into one of my childhood dreams come true.
Take care and FX like crazy,
Kelcey Coe
