Makeup artists typically like makeup. It is a tactile medium, and they enjoy products, how they feel and smell and respond to brushes and pressure. 
 
Making prosthetics similarly has its tactile qualities, and it is hard to separate these sensations from the very nature of the joy in the work.
 
It is little wonder then that this same group of people may not have developed an extensive love of digital versions of the same work.
 
Doing a digital makeup effect in Photoshop requires the makeup artist's mindset but somehow it is not the same thing, and I think this reluctance to do digital work can put the makeup community at a disadvantage. 

The digital ship has definitely sailed, but the opportunity to join the crew is always open. This is our attempt at starting a wider conversation within the makeup industry regarding digital tools in the workshop.
