Attention creative souls everywhere, amateur or experienced, this next part is for you! On Saturday, April 18, 2026, the BIFFF invites you to take part in its make-up contest in a relaxed and fun atmosphere. Whatever your level, whether you’re just starting out, self-taught or in training, the main thing is to let your imagination run wild!
 

Two categories:

  • Without prostheses (3h) : No need for prostheses, your brushes and pigments suffice to create surprising looks.
  • With prostheses (FX) (3h) : For those who want to push the limits, explore special effects and create characters worthy of the greatest movies ! (Do I hear “Beetlejuice” ?)
Places are limited, so don’t delay in signing up! All levels are welcome, and we’re looking for original, creative projects! A base of make-up products is provided, but feel free to bring your own materials to distinguish yourself from the crowd !
