Ep. 139: How Camille Calvet Combined Her SFX Expertise + The Healing Power Of Silicone To Create SilcSkin To Fight Wrinkles
On this episode of the Friends in Beauty podcast I welcome Emmy Award Winning Celebrity Makeup Artist + Creator of SilcSkin, Camille Calvet, to the Friends in Beauty guest chair.
Camille is an entrepreneur, a mother and wife, and a two-time Emmy Award winning makeup artist with decades of experience covering up A-list celebrities’ wrinkles and spots.
While working on the set of Star Trek, Camille noticed how much smoother the actor’s faces were when she removed the silicone masks they wore, simultaneously, her doctor gave her a silicone patch to heal a scar and, in her words, “It just clicked!”
In 1999 she went on to develop & create SilcSkin, a world leader in non-invasive wrinkle treatment. SilcSkin products are specifically designed to hydrate and smooth your skin particularly on wrinkle prone areas such as the brow, around the eyes, around the mouth, the neck and the chest. The décolleté pad (for chest wrinkles) can also be used on the stomach and butt area.
SilcSkin has become the best selling wrinkle treatment pads in the world and shows no signs of slowing down.
I had a lovely time chatting with Camille and learning all about SilcSkin. In this interview Camille shares:
-Her early beginnings as a Special Effects Makeup Artist
-The cool projects that she’s worked on that led to Emmy Awards
-The most disturbing character makeup she’s ever done
-The amazing story behind the idea for SilcSkin
-The development of the brand along with it’s success + challenges
-What sets SilcSkin apart from other similar products on the market
-What’s next for herself + SilcSkin and so much more
If you are a SFX artist you will love this episode. If you or someone you know have been looking for a wrinkle treatment or preventative care for wrinkles tap in because Camille’s got you covered. She essentially took her knowledge of prosthetics paired with the healing power of silicone and made something extremely innovative and it’s so fascinating. Let’s go ahead and jump into this chat with Camille and if you prefer to watch our beautiful faces then tune in on YouTube.
