MF FX Studio

Excited to announce that I’ve officially started work on my next project! I’ll be heading up the talented team of Makeup Artist for Fright Nights at Warner Bros. Movie World this year! Very excited for this opportunity and looking forward to diving in!

Huge shout out to the previous team headed up by the fabulous Shylie Parsons (Hill) and Li-Sa Choi for establishing an amazing team to walk in to 🫶🏻

Incredibly lucky to have had the most amazing panel of Judges for our Q&A panels this year!

We had such an incredible group of talented, generous and bloody knowledgeable humans sharing their experience, stories and advice with our artists.

From our Film Makeup panel to our Women in FX panel, the conversations were honest, insightful and full of those little pieces of industry wisdom that you just can’t learn from a textbook.
These industry legends are amongst the most highly accoladed in our industry with a combination of Emmy Awards, BAFTA Awards and even Oscar awards! Setting the bar this high might be hard to top 😅

A huge thank you to every one of you for giving up your time, sharing your knowledge and helping make this year’s Monster Makeup Massacre so special.

We’re incredibly grateful to have you along for the ride.

Thank you, legends! 🖤

Just wanted to give a huge shout out to my amazing team helping me out backstage yesterday at the Monster Massacre Competition - from setting up all the tables, running around with me constantly all day and helping clean up at the end of the night. We could not have done it without you!

Aislynn 🃏 Cassandra Cordingley Hair & Makeup Charli Heslin and Lulu McDonald thank you!

And an extra big special thank you to GOLD COAST MAKEUP ARTIST for designing this amazing makeup look to accompany the prosthetics I created, doing all of the work on the day, taking exceptional care of our gorgeous model lydi lu and cohosting the demo on stage with me! Love you and appreciate your amazing skills!

Last shout out to Bethany Hall for jumping in on the brushes with Phoebe and Charli - what an honour to have last years winner backstage with us this year! And congrats on your 2 recent wins also!

What a team! How lucky am I to be surrounded by insanely talented women! 🫶🏻

I appreciate you all! ⚡️

Amazing Human Appreciation Post:

Behind every slightly chaotic, wildly ambitious event are the people who quietly make it all happen. 🖤

And I genuinely couldn’t do Monster Makeup Massacre without this guy.

Ben — thank you for all the hours, problem-solving, organising, lifting, fixing, running around, going along with our increasingly unhinged ideas 😂 and basically doing whatever needed to be done to get us over the finish line. Not to mention all the amazing goodies you made for our contestants in the lead up to the event!

We’ve been doing this together since 2018, and somehow, after all these years, we’re still here making monsters. 🥹

I’m incredibly grateful for your hard work, your patience, your creativity and, most importantly, for always being in my corner when things get a little chaotic.

Monster Makeup Massacre might have a lot of moving parts, but having someone you trust beside you makes all the difference.

Thank you, Ben. 🖤
