The process of using artificial parts of the body and advance cosmetic effects to mould and sculpt in order to achieve a good casting character is known as special effects make up. The special effects makeup kits are used to achieve the instructions in the scripts which are used in movies and plays. The casting director requires the help of makeup artist to achieve the characters that undergo different situations in the movie.

The places where this makeup is used include the following; medical schools, military training bases and so on. In medical schools the technique is use to make wounds and the students are equipped with skills to nurse the wounds since they are being prepared on what to meet in their careers. The military are not also an exceptional to this method that is used to achieve these effects, their instructors do train them on pain endurance and how to handle and give first aid to their injured partners on a mission.
