Victoria Arias is a California-based makeup and special effects artist whose work spans beauty, prosthetics, creature fabrication, and practical effects. After earning degrees in Art and Theatre from Colorado State University, she completed the Masters Program at Cinema Makeup School, placed second in the Battle of the Brushes at IMATS Australia, and received the Leonard Engelman Fellowship. She's since worked with leading effects studios including Legacy Effects, and Creative Character Engineering, contributing to major productions such as The Shape of Water, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Avengers: Infinity War, 1BR, Netflix's Being Eddie, Avengers: Endgame, and Reunion.

Trained in prosthetics and fabrication in addition to beauty, Victoria brings a uniquely hands-on, multidisciplinary approach to her craft. She specializes in high-end gore, realistic bruising and wound progression grounded in anatomy and the stages of physical trauma, while her beauty work ranges from innovative glam to celebrity red carpets for major Marvel premieres, including The Fantastic Four: First Steps, HIM, Thunderbolts*, and Ant-Man and the Wasp. Her work combines technical precision, fine-art sensibility, and an ability to move seamlessly between the beautiful and the extraordinary.
