Why Tinsley 3D Transfers Stand Out

• Apply easily with just water and are designed to stay securely in place throughout your event. Latex-free for added comfort.
• Developed by experienced Hollywood special effects artists for highly realistic wound and injury effects.
• Seamlessly blend into the skin, creating convincing raised wounds with natural-looking edges.
• Made in the U.S.A.

What Are Tinsley 3D Transfers?

Developed by renowned Hollywood special effects makeup artist Christien Tinsley, Tinsley 3D Transfers offer an innovative alternative to traditional prosthetic makeup. They work similarly to a temporary tattoo, but feature a raised, dimensional design that gives the appearance of a genuine wound or injury.

Each transfer is made in the USA and hand-painted by skilled in-house artists to achieve realistic color, texture, and detail. Application is quick and straightforward—you only need a pair of scissors, a towel or sponge, and water to create a professional-looking special effects makeup application.

Take Your FX Look Further

For an even more convincing result, add a small amount of special effects blood to your transfer. A subtle touch can enhance the depth and realism of the wound without overpowering the effect.

How to Apply

Applying a Tinsley 3D Transfer is simple, even if you're new to special effects makeup. While there may not be a dedicated tutorial for this transfer, the same basic application technique can be seen in other Tinsley 3D FX Transfer demonstrations.

For the best results, follow an application tutorial before getting started and take your time when blending the edges for a seamless finish. If you need assistance with application or have questions about the product, feel free to contact us.
