Ever wondered how those zombies come to life in movies? Or how those deep wounds appear real on television? Makeup is not just about looking good. The gross, the ugly, the scary is all a part of makeup and we went on a special session with Jordan Plath at Kryolan to see how makeup is an art like no other.

Kryolan the world renowned manufacturer of specialised Professional Makeup organised a seminar on “Special Effects” by Jordan Plath at Kryolan City Lajpat Nagar.

The master class we attended was the zombie making and it was a tedious slow process but completely amazing to see such a transformation as Plath introduced us to HD makeup for altering the face.

The seminar is a part of a series of 3 seminars scheduled at Chennai, Mumbai and Delhi.
