hello and welcome to top X where we
count down the very best that YouTube
has to offer today we’re helping you
look creepy crazy or just plain bloody
with our picks for the top 10 special
effects and movie makeup artists on
YouTube
you
a few weeks back we did a video on the
top 10 makeup gurus on YouTube
we had to exclude a lot of great artists
that specialize in more outlandish types
of makeup stuff you would wear to a
Halloween party instead of the prom and
that’s exactly the kind of tutorials
we’re checking out here today we ranked
our picks based on a mix of subscriber
numbers use oats from our users personal
preference and of course general impact
on the YouTube community number 10
cat sketch right off the bat you’ll
notice that the hosts of this channel
cat sketch is very personable and
down-to-earth what’s funny about this is
that she specializes in tutorials that
help you turn yourself in to all manner
of frightening monsters it’s kind of
good if you have next-day stringy gross
hair because that’s what zombies kind of
look like they don’t look really pretty
there are tons of special effects that
make up artists out there on YouTube but
as you’ll see today many of them do the
same looks cats sketch has found a way
to differentiate herself from her peers
by doing mashups of popular characters
he’s include a half Beauty half beast
look and her most popular video which is
a half snow covered face inspired by
frozen and now that the creepy eye is in
we are completed with our makeup
transformation of onna being half frozen
one thing you’ll notice about her videos
is that she actually narrates the videos
with voiceover instead of talking you
through it in real time as she’s
applying the makeup and now this is why
I’m using blood red lipstick for those
petals too cuz you need it for the sides
of your face as contour not only does
this give her points in the tech-savvy
department but it allows her to focus in
fine tune what she wants to say and
focus on the makeup as she’s applying it
so I hope you guys liked how this creepy
amnesia monster turned out I hope it
kind of looks like him this was one of
the hardest makeup tutorials I think
I’ve done in a long time
number 9 Emma pickles coming in at
number 9 is Emma pickles who apparently
started using makeup to conquer her
crippling shyness although she’s
self-taught
she has carved herself a nice little
place out on YouTube one of the themes
this year is cabin in the woods which is
where this beautiful character is from
and this is of course Monica
although she does do a lot of scary
stuff like vampires and zombies she does
it with a lot less extra materials like
latex this means that her videos are a
little bit easier to follow on a budget
or if you’re trying to do them
last-minute with stuff
the house but then that’s it that’s our
newly infected zombie slash person thing
Emma actually has a fair amount of nerd
cred racked up as many of her looks are
taken from either sci-fi or video games
she has one for Harley Quinn she has one
from Lightning from Final Fantasy and of
course one for mystique
her most popular video though is her pop
art slash comic book style tutorial
which is easier to show than it is to
explain now the yellow Harry is an
instant color hair spray from superdrug
cause it only cut at the top of my hair
the dark hair showing through looks like
the black detail in a lot of pop art
work so while I needed to do was add
some more black to define a style number
eight beautiful you TV coming up next is
beautiful you TV a channel that takes
the award for most ironic name on this
list I say that because there are a few
videos that will help you look beautiful
but her most popular videos are the ones
that help you replicate horrendous
physical trauma finally using your
angled brush and a sponge apply fake
blood into the wound and around it
Corina runs this channel specializes in
gore now while a lot of other channels
you’ll see today specialize in this too
what she helps focus on the most is
specific injuries so like glass in the
wrist pins in your mouth or her most
popular a nail through the finger and
this step is very important because
depending on what you do and how you do
it your wound will look realistic or not
what’s funny is that what Kareem is not
helping you with Gore makeup she also
specializes in replicating the looks
from various music videos specifically
ones by Rihanna I’ve recently seen
Rihanna’s pictures from the video
princess of China and I thought it would
be a great idea to create inspired look
based on the picture another noteworthy
thing about Korea’s channel is that she
provides Russian subtitles which is no
doubt helped her Grover audience
significantly now I assure you that none
of the maggots got hurt during filming
of this video and every single one of
them was set free after the video was
filmed number 7
Goldie Starling Goldie Starling or Angie
as she calls herself on her about page
has been and I quote putting the art
back in YouTube’s makeup tutorials since
2008 and one look at her thumbnails and
you’ll agree to finish off my dark
creature I added a white wig in this
white tulle collar I thought it was very
hussar esque and then these horns these
beautiful fabulous horns are from
nocturnal
designs angie is a master of vivid
colors whether it’s something rather
common like a sugar doll look or
something extremely advanced like a
Salvador Dali painting that she wears
upon her face
everything features vivid colors and
sharp well-defined lines and to finish
off my dolly skull I’m going to add his
famous mustache because you just have to
like I mentioned before angie claims
that she’s putting the art back in
YouTube’s makeup tutorials and she’s
really not joking whether it’s something
like I mentioned before with the
Salvador Dali painting she wears or even
my personal favorite the van Gogh with a
few brushstrokes Vincent van Gogh has
come alive hope you enjoyed and happy
painting guys
number six Ella mats SFX makeup Ella max
is the creation of Eleanor rose and ur
and Max Moser hence the name Ella max
while many of these channels specialize
in things that would be more appropriate
for Halloween there is one thing that
Ella max does especially well in that
sense Gore disgusting graphic you’ll
swear it’s real Gore then at least slaps
on a lot of blood here and after that we
continue to enhance the bruising under
wound effect on the edge you’ll notice
right off the bat that the production
value of Ella Max’s videos are head and
shoulders above the rest
that’s because max is a photographer and
not a makeup artist so not only is each
shot carefully composed but the projects
are also tightly edited and narrated
with voiceover giving each tutorial the
look of a professional production then
we use more cutting this time we dip it
in fake blood or something red ish to
really make some more fleshy fibers the
trails are so detailed and the makeup so
convincing that while these would
obviously turn heads at a Halloween
party they might be better suited for a
movie or a photo shoot though they have
nowhere near to as many subscribers or
views as pretty much anyone else on this
list their professionalism and high
quality pushes them ahead of many of
their peers
and we wrap it all up with our bloody
scab wet look blood and there you go
that’s one freaky clown for you
number five Kiana Jones SFX we really
hope you aren’t sick of gore tutorials
because we got another one coming and I
think we’re only just about halfway done
hailing from Perth Australia is the
self-taught Kiana Jones or Rick mo
actually goes on YouTube see in the
fingers up pretty far before you see the
fingers underneath but otherwise from
this angle it works pretty well
for those of you who thought that the
gorge tutorials we’ve looked at so far
were not detailed enough Kiana Jones
might be just what you’re looking for
she divides her more elaborate tutorials
into different parts
often starting with the creation of the
molds or props in the earlier bits and
then moving to the actual application in
the later episodes
well these are certainly a little less
DIY because they require complex things
like modeling clay and latex molds for
those of you that really want to make
that sliced cheek look as convincing as
possible except no substitute I’m gonna
put like a rough layer first over
everything and then let it kind of dry a
little bit and once it’s dry I’m gonna
go over it to sir move a little blood
it’s my reference image has a lot of
dried blood on top in frustrated
tutorials she has a lot of videos that
teach you how to use her various tools
like modeling clay or latex which is
very useful if you want to make gore of
your own number four Claire de Lee’s art
after wading through an intense amount
of blood gore and assorted biomatter we
finally come to another channel that’ll
help you look kind of cool instead of
just injured coming into number four is
Claire to the east part finish with a
few extra stripes and tiny details like
the whiskers or a few dots that’s it
you’re done
while it’s not 100% related to the
subject of this list one thing that
Claire does specialize in is nails no
not nails through your finger although
she coincidentally does have one for a
staple through the finger but colorful
creative designs for your finger nails
her focus on hands doesn’t actually stop
there as she’s the only channel on this
list that features hand art makeup as
well and the really thick black dot
place a dot right in the middle of the
eye and then with the white create some
highlights
of course you can’t have an SFX and
movie makeup channel without doing some
face stuff and of course Claire does
tons of that stuff to her tutorials are
mostly focused on fantasy things
everything from a porcelain doll to
Darth Maul now you really want to apply
your contact lenses before you’ve
painted your face because you don’t want
anything to get stuck behind a lintel
one cool thing you should definitely
check out on her channel is her series
on the seven deadly sins
where she makes herself up to be one of
the seven deadly sins like greed pride
or thus the lips I’m going to be using a
mulberry color and I’m going to
completely change the shape of my lips
I’m going to create a sharp point on the
Cupid’s bow and then for the lips I’m
going to draw out in the corner and then
connect that Cupid’s bow
number three pink stylist charlie short
with the name like pink stylist you’d be
forgiven if you didn’t guess that this
was a channel run by a guy a young man
named Charlie short I went off on a
little bit of tangent made a bit darker
than usual so large and yeah but unlike
my own little gory twist I while almost
all the channels we’ve seen today are
inspired by movies Charlie’s looks are
pretty much all ripped directly from
phil usually sci-fi or whore he’s got
one for pinhead from Hellraiser one for
Reagan the little girl from The Exorcist
and one for Chucky from child’s play and
yeah that’s it so I finished up a look
by applying two really super bright blue
contact lenses and just cuz they look
more dole light and that’s kind of
lengthy as in the film one of the best
parts about his channel is that once
he’s done putting together these really
scary looks he goes on a mega and scares
the crap out of other people on webcam
making his channel a bit of a hybrid
between makeup tutorials and prankster
hmm lastly one thing that you’re not
going mentioned is the pure dedication
that Charlie puts into his channel he
updates on a weekly basis making his
channel one of the most active and
dependable in the genre number two
mystique dope – 1 1 1 so a few weeks ago
when we did makeup gurus a lot of you
are wondering where promise fan was and
here she is on top of that I’m gonna put
on this horns and my Maleficent look is
complete mystique or promise is actually
dangerously close to being sort of a
makeup group but it’s her stalwart
dedication to making yourself look like
other people specifically movie
characters and other celebrities both
male and female that lands her on this
list for the final touch I used a long
brown way and a pair of green eye
contact now I say she turns herself into
movie characters but there is one thing
that really defines promise and that is
Disney Princesses her most popular video
is to her turning herself into Elsa from
frozen but she has pretty much the
entire Disney Canon covered from
Pocahontas to Snow White and at the end
I’m gonna top it off with this brown lip
gloss there’s tons of people out there
that will help you mess your face up but
we couldn’t cover them all so here are a
few honorable mentions
number one made you look
Alexis Fleming our pick for number one
is Alexis Fleming who is in charge of
the mind-blowing may you look Channel
ah flexor made you look at how to make a
virus and body pair while someone like
promise fan will help you look like a
completely different person
Alexis Fleming will help you look like
something that is completely not a
person alexis is tutorials vary so much
that it’s actually kind of hard to find
a connecting thread all that you can
really say for certain is that they are
all almost total transformations for
tutorials are so insanely elaborate and
creative that she’s essentially
completely unrecognizable by the end I’m
also using the same metallic yellow
eyeshadow to shade around the entire
section of the neck and the shoulders
these tutorials are definitely some of
the most intense that we’ve seen today
even looks that are relatively simple
like a skull face are done with a
staggering level of detail
all that to say is that these videos are
as much a showcase of her talents as an
artist as they are tutorials on how to
do the makeup yourself also use this to
outline your face and your ears it may
be a little tough outline your ears
yourself so you might want to ask them
what help you well that’s it for today’s
countdown be sure to check out our
