Who we are
Proteus Makeup is a Czech-based SFX studio and makeup school founded in 2012 by two working artists — Vlad Taupesh and Jozef Rarach. What started as a small workshop creating custom masks and prosthetics for film sets and theatre stages grew into something much bigger. Today we run a full SFX studio, a professional makeup school, and an online shop trusted by artists across 24 countries. Every product we carry has been tested on real productions — because we use it ourselves.

Our founders
Behind every mask is a maker. Vlad Taupesh and Jozef Rarach founded Proteus Makeup after years working on film sets and theatre productions. Two artists, one shared obsession — bringing creatures to life with materials that actually perform.
Our values
Pro-grade quality
Every product is tested on real film and theatre sets. If it doesn't perform under stage lights, it doesn't make it into the shop.
Skin-safe materials
We only work with platinum silicone and dermatologically tested materials. Safe for long wear, even for sensitive skin.
Community first
Built by artists for artists. We run a makeup school, share tutorials, and support the SFX community across Central Europe.
