Calgary Makeup Artists – VFS is taking All Access Pass on the road! This is your exclusive backstage access to Vancouver Film School’s industry-leading Makeup Design for Film & Television program and a chance to experience your future in the production makeup industry.

You’ll meet & chat with the Head of the program, experience a production makeup show & tell, take part in portfolio reviews, and more! PLUS, speak with our Admissions Advisors about possible tuition reductions.

Meet the Head of the Makeup Program

VFS’s Makeup program has created artists that have won 68 IMATS, 9 Leos, over a dozen Emmys, and even the SYFY competition reality series Face Off. In 2023, our alum Darla Edin
was Emmy-nominated for her work on Daisy Jones & the Six.
These accolades are no fluke; find out why!

Meet the Head of the program, Stan Edmonds, (Scary Movie, The Butterfly Effect, I Robot, to name a few) as he explains how production makeup transforms the boundaries of film & television.

Experience Makeup Demos

Experience a live makeup demo as VFS Makeup alum Cate Carmichael transforms their subject into something unforgettable and get a detailed look at the products she's using. Additionally, watch 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.
