Makeup Artists

Here is the breakdown. We give complete makeup services including beauty makeup, character and transformation makeup, prosthetic application, special effects makeup, and period-specific looks. Our Turkish artists work across features, television, commercials, and the prolific diziler industry that has trained top-tier makeup departments.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Yes, we give complete hair and makeup departments. Our hair stylists handle all styling needs including cutting, coloring, wig fitting, period hairstyles, and daily upkeep. Turkish stylists bring top period wig expertise developed through the Ottoman and historical drama shoots.

Here is how the picture comes together. Period production is a core Turkish specialty. Our artists create looks from ancient Troy and Ephesus through Byzantine Constantinople, the Ottoman Empire's golden age, and the early Republic era, with the careful historical accuracy that Turkey's worldwide popular period dramas demand.

Here is what we have to work with. We work with skilled SFX makeup artists for prosthetic application, creature effects, aging, injuries, and transformation makeup. Istanbul's Sinefekt and Digital Sanatlar give SFX skills. The demands of Turkish historical and action shoots have developed strong practical effects skills.

Here is the layout. For shoots with large principal casts or major background makeup needs, we give scaled departments from Turkey's massive diziler-trained talent pool. Turkish production volumes are among the world's highest, making sure skilled makeup artists are always ready at scale.

Here is how the work shapes up. Yes, we arrange makeup and hair tests during pre-production to develop and refine looks, test materials under camera, and document scene matching references. For outdoor shoots in Cappadocia's dry heat or Istanbul's Bosphorus humidity, condition-specific testing is key.
