My name is Abby Bester. I have been working with special FX makeup since 2017, beauty makeup since 2020, and visual art since 2021. I love making monsters, fake wounds, and characters come to life.
I have done workshops & classes in Chicago & Atlanta & graduated from Paul Mitchell’s esthetician program in 2020. I completed the MUD Makeup Designory Master Makeup Program in NYC in January of 2022.
I am currently working towards my Art BA with a focus in Sculpture at Kennesaw State University.
I have done makeup for short films and student films as well as created various sculptures from different materials, including metal, wood, silicone, ceramic, plaster, and more.
I have also done a few jobs for NYFW in NYC and Six Flags Fright Fest in Atlanta.
When doing special FX, I work with a lot of 3rd degree (silicone) and all kinds of prosthetics, but there are a few pictures on here using products such as latex & scar wax. I am also skilled in hand-laying hair, bald caps, old-age makeup, and more.
With my art, I have experience in welding, mold making, wheel throwing, wood working, foundry, book-binding, paper-making, and more. I have experience working with sand, silicone, wax, bronze, iron, pewter, aluminum, wood, fabric, paper, ceramics including porcelain, steel, fiberglass, resin, and various 2d materials.
coming soon
