My name is Lauren Bennett, and I'm a Special Effects Makeup Artist and Propmaker from San Diego, California.
I started my FX journey in 2018. I’ve always been an artist, but I had an epiphany one day that special effects was the perfect artistic career for me and I’ve been obsessed with it since. Since starting my career, I was responsible for nearly all of the FX in the gory feature film “Morte” (currently in post!), have been the special effects artist and propmaker for YouTube group “JoelHarry” for 6+ years, and have worked on numerous short films, music videos, and feature length films. See more of my work here!
My skills range from special effects makeup to prop making, with sculpting, mold making, casting, painting, and fabricating in between. I strive to create realistic effects and unique characters by designing my own prosthetics and finding creative ways to push illusion.
The thing I love most about makeup is helping people achieve their visions for their creative projects. The amount of joy that bringing something to life creates for everyone involved makes all the hard work worth it. I also love that every project is unique and has its own set of challenges that need problem-solving. It makes everything that much more fun and interesting—there’s always something new to figure out.
