Theatrical/FX Makeup Artist

Taylor Maid Beauty Supply in Provo, UT is hiring a Theatrical/FX Makeup Artist to lead character and special effects work across Halloween bookings, theatrical productions, and screen productions. This role sits at the intersection of the makeup department and client-facing beauty services, with output ranging from prosthetic character builds to bridal and editorial looks depending on the season and booking. It suits a working makeup artist who moves comfortably between theatrical production environments and one-on-one client appointments without losing quality on either end.

About the Role

The position is built around a heavy Halloween season with on-call availability afterward for film, television, theatrical production, special events, and photo shoots. Day-to-day work involves designing and executing looks from a chair in a retail beauty supply setting, which means balancing client consultations with the technical demands of prosthetic application and special effects makeup. This is an in-person role where time management across multiple bookings in a single day is part of the job.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and apply prosthetic effects, character makeup, and special effects looks for Halloween clients, theatrical productions, and screen production projects.
• Execute bridal makeup applications using techniques suited to long wear and photography.
• Style hair for special occasions and photo shoots, applying professional-level finishing techniques appropriate to the production context.
• Perform eyelash extensions, body waxing, and dermabrasion treatments while maintaining strict sanitation protocols between clients.
• Conduct client consultations to align on vision, communicate technical limitations clearly, and recommend services or retail products based on individual needs.
• Manage a multi-appointment schedule during peak season without compromising the standard of each individual application.

What You Bring

• Proven experience as a makeup artist in theater, film production, fashion, or a professional beauty setting.
• Hands-on skill with prosthetic application and color theory as applied to character and special effects makeup.
• Working knowledge of eyelash extension techniques, waxing, and skin preparation including dermabrasion.
• Strong client communication skills developed through professional consultations in a production or retail context.
• Experience shooting portfolio images or working within retail sales is a genuine plus here.

Why This Role

Taylor Maid Beauty Supply offers a paid position with a compensation range of $100.00 to $250.00 per day, reflecting the range of work from standard appointments to full special effects makeup builds. The role gives a working artist a stable home base during Halloween season with a realistic path into on-call work across theatrical and screen production in the Provo area. For an artist building screen production credits alongside client work, the structure here supports both.
