Not just blood and guts, You Bloody Beauty also does creative makeup for events, shoots and performers, from high-glam to avant-garde character looks. Because transformation comes in all shades.
I’m Alexandra Cox and I am the Artist behind ‘You Bloody Beauty’, a Melbourne‑based special effects, prosthetics & custom fabrication studio.
I’m a Melbourne-based special effects makeup artist with a serious love for all things gory, glam, weird and wonderful. I specialise in SFX, prosthetics, sculpture, mould-making, and custom props for film, TV, theatre, cosplay, events, and just about any project that needs a little extra ew.
This all started years ago when I picked up a brush, went nuts with acrylic paint (yes, on my own skin and no, it did not end well), and realised I was completely obsessed with transforming peoples faces. So I made it official, I completed a Diploma in Specialist Makeup, then levelled up again with an Advanced Prosthetic Makeup course, diving deeper into sculpting, lifecasting, fiberglassing, mould making, and silicone work. Since then, I’ve been making creatures and chaos ever since.
I still love both the glamorous and the gruesome side of things, hence the name, ‘You Bloody Beauty’.
