Carleigh Herbert is a makeup, special fx artist and male groomer. Originally from San Diego, California,  she began her makeup career after leaving behind her study and practice of choreography in dance due to medical conflicts. Her love of gore and character work took her from stage performance to pursue film and television. After years of running independent movies and working in a prosthetic fx lab for Kenny Myers and PPI, Carleigh became a member of Local 706 and soon became the head makeup for the Teen Wolf series, just years after joining the union. From there she continued to design and lend her talents to the entertainment industry covering all aspects of makeup: beauty, character, period, prosthetics, blood gags + more. She prides herself on being a well rounded artist, and is continuously growing in her craft. She has been a guest many times on makeup panels such as Comic-Con and IMATS, and has also taught classes on technique + period work for The Powder Group. 

 

Carleigh has been nominated for multiple Emmys and Guild Awards in both prosthetic and non-prosthetic makeup. She is also a licensed barber and cosmetologist, and has studied and is fluent in American Sign Language.

 

She is available to travel world wide, and is currently local to

Los Angeles and Atlanta.
