Applying Prosthetics Online Workshop

Who is this for?

If it's your first time applying prosthetics and you're looking for help with each step along the way, this course is for you.

I've designed this course for beginners who have never applied prosthetics, through to those who have some experience but want to learn how to correct common issues and get better application results.

I go into depth into what we do, and why, so that you have a well rounded understanding of each step of the process. I also go through troubleshooting common problems, so that I can be as helpful as possible without physically being there with you.

Hi, I'm Kiana. AKA Freakmo.

I taught myself how to apply prosthetics!

I started dabbling in makeup effects in 2012, with the aid of the internet. The last eight years I've uploaded tutorials to YouTube, amassing a total of 97 million views!

I've also worked on feature films, TV shows, short films, ads, music videos, photoshoots, and museum exhibits. I have worked at four makeup effects studios (include Weta Workshop), working on prosthetics for movies.

I've never attended a makeup school to learn FX makeup, this all started with me teaching myself at home with what resources I could find.

I've learned a lot about what works and what doesn't, and over the past several years I've shared that knowledge with millions of viewers on YouTube.

But in the process, I've also learnt that people need more than being shown how to apply it flawlessly, in a fifteen minute quick video. They need guidance around the materials and common mistakes.

They need a way to ask questions and show images for feedback on how to improve. They need someone who has been there, teaching themselves at home, getting frustrated by crinkly cap plastic edges, to guide them through minimising those problem areas.

That's why I created Applying Prosthetics for Beginners, to have something more indepth and helpful than a quick YouTube video. To be able to communicate with my students to give them feedback and answer questions. To help aspiring prosthetic MUA's learn from my successes—and failures—teaching myself these skills.

I love teaching and passing on my knowledge about prosthetic makeup, and I'm excited to get to know you.

"THIS COURSE TAUGHT ME MORE OF THE BASICS THAN MY TWO YEAR SPECIAL EFFECTS MAKEUP DEGREE..."

Gabby Peppler

"This course is a perfect option for both someone who has no experience, and someone with experience in prosthetic application, as Kiana demonstrates in-depth explanations of each step, to ensure you are given as much knowledge as possible, as well as sharing tips and tricks for better application and painting, from her experience in the industry. 

This course taught me more of the basics than my two year special effects makeup degree, as well as teaching me new tricks that I wasn't able to learn at that makeup school. 

This isn't just a course that teaches you the application of a silicone prosthetic. It’s a course that teaches basic product knowledge, prosthetic creation, colour theory with the inclusion of a variety of skin tones, and the do’s and don'ts of prosthetic application and painting."
