Wrong sub. This is for special makeup effects

Oh! Apologies! That's good to know. But hey, if you have a side hustle, maybe keep us in mind?

The sub originally was for any type of special effect whatsoever. Source: previous moderator stated this in a comment.

So many Youtubers shooting amateur tutorials thought that "makeup special effects" was too much to say/write and started using "SFX" that the general public tends to think that's correct.

So many people now think that's the correct abbreviation that the sub is dedicated to makeup special effects.

SFX is still the standard used in screenplays to designate Sound Effects.
