ABOUT
​
Lara Wirth is an Australian makeup artist, currently located in Los Angeles California.
Inspiration to learn and begin teaching herself prosthetic and creature work, was found through the work of legends such as Ve Neil and Tim Burton.

After two years of working on her craft she obtained a substantial social media following and succeeded in winning the NYX Profession Cosmetics FACE Awards (Australia and New Zealand). Further inspired and motivated to hone skills in the field of makeup and special effects, Lara commenced study at Cinema Makeup School the following year.
