Sarah Elizabeth is a Connecticut based makeup artist specializing in character design and special fx. ​
Her interest in makeup started with her favourite holiday - Halloween. In order to make a great character, there had to be a great costume. However, she felt like there was always a piece missing from the completed look. After trying character makeup for the first time, it felt like that final piece had been found.
In 2016, her skills were taken to the next level after interning with renowned makeup artist, Keith Palmer. It was here that Sarah quickly realized this was her calling. Mr. Palmer so impacted Sarah’s desires in the industry and something he often said remains a mantra she follows in every creative idea and application to this day:

“if your mind can conceive it and your heart can believe it, then you can achieve it.”

Sarah continued her makeup and special effects studies at Makeup Designory, as well as Cinema Makeup School
In 2017, Sarah was the winner of an open competition to aspiring make-up artists. “What It Takes” is a documentary film about the highs and lows of the hyper-competitive makeup industry. The final judge was none other than Steve Johnson – world famous artist on over 200 films.

Along with her growing list of achievements early on in her career, Sarah has also worked on short films, theater productions and live entertainment of all sorts.
