Why Choose Our Makeup Artists
Hollywood-Trained Czech Artists
Prague's position as Europe's busiest production hub means our makeup artists have credits on Mission: Impossible, The Gray Man, and dozens of major features. They bring A-list production standards at Central European rates.
Continental Climate Adaptability
Prague's continental climate ranges from cold, snowy winters to warm summers. Our artists use season-appropriate products and cold-weather skincare protocols, maintaining flawless looks whether shooting in Barrandov Studios or on location in Bohemian Switzerland.
Pan-European Period Versatility
Prague doubles for London, Paris, Berlin, and Vienna on screen. Our artists create period looks spanning every European era, from medieval to WWII, with expertise in the multi-country doubling that makes Czech Republic productions so versatile.
Competitive European Sourcing
Access to European professional cosmetic brands at rates 30-40% below Western Europe, plus established relationships with local SFX labs and wig makers. UPP and Soundsquare offer complementary post-production support for productions completed in Prague.
Hair & Makeup Expertise
What makeup services do you provide?
We provide complete makeup services including beauty makeup, character and transformation makeup, prosthetic application, special effects makeup, and period-specific looks. Our Czech artists work across features, television, commercials, and music videos, with particular strength in the big-budget international productions that film at Barrandov Studios.
Do you provide hair styling as well?
Yes, we provide complete hair and makeup departments. Our hair stylists handle all styling needs including cutting, coloring, wig fitting, period hairstyles, and daily maintenance. Prague's long history of period production has cultivated exceptional wig makers and period hair specialists.
Can you handle period productions?
Period work is a core strength of Czech makeup departments. Prague's architecture allows it to double for cities across Europe, and our artists create accurate period looks from medieval through contemporary, with deep experience in WWII-era, Victorian, and Renaissance productions.
What about special effects makeup?
We work with skilled SFX makeup artists for prosthetic application, creature effects, aging, injuries, and transformation makeup. Prague has established SFX capabilities honed on years of major productions, and we coordinate with local labs for complex prosthetic and creature work.
How do you handle large cast productions?
For productions with large principal casts or significant background makeup needs, we provide scaled departments drawing from Prague's deep, experienced talent pool. The constant flow of international productions means large teams of skilled artists can be assembled efficiently.
Do you provide makeup tests before production?
Yes, we arrange makeup and hair tests during pre-production to develop and refine looks, test materials under camera, and document continuity references. Barrandov Studios and Prague Studios offer dedicated makeup testing facilities for pre-production prep.
