Cinema Makeup School Takes Over Monsterpalooza 2012




"For the past three years Monsterpalooza has been a great catalyst for connecting generations in the makeup industry as well as providing a pedestal to showcase many talented artists' work" says Cinema Makeup School graduate, Cris Sposito. She is not the only one that sees Monsterpalooza as a Mecca for all things horror, gore, and fantasy. Monsterpalooza is the industry's largest horror convention and year after year Cinema Makeup School manages to surprise and amaze attendees. 2012 was no exception.

Monsterpalooza is the ideal place for celebrations of films past, celebrity sightings, and glimpses of inspiration to come. Cinema Makeup School joined in all the creepy fun with a variety of demonstrations.

Now enjoy some photos from the weekend...
