My question today is would "Prosthetic Make-up artists" be allowed by the current rules?

No: "Prosthetic Make-up artists" are not listed in the crew credits table, and the rules flat out state not to include anyone who isn't credited with one of the listed roles.

They are, however, exactly the people we're who we're looking for with regards to the "Make-up Effects" credit...

I'd vote yes if I came across a contribution where they were submitted.

Like T!m says, this is Make-up Effects.

I would, without hesitation, include anyone credited that way.  Prosthetic Make-up is, unless I am missing something, a type of make-up effect.  That makes it, for me at least, a direct translation of Make-up Effects.

I agree with my esteemed colleagues that these are Make-up Effects Artists and should be credited.

Here's a related question.

Let's say in the end credits there is a company credit for something like "Prosthetic Makeup Effects and Creature Effects by Monsters Inc."

Under that are the following credits.

Department Head Supervisor
Makeup Artists
Lead Creature Effects Supervisor


1. Would either the Supervisors be credited?
2. How would the Makeup Artists be credited? Since they worked for a company credited with Prosthetic Makeup Effects do they get credited as Makeup Effects or strictly go by the credits and get credited with just Makeup Artists?

1. No, we do Creature Designer, not Creature Effects.  Odd distinction, I know, but it is what it is.
2. I would credit them under Make-up Effects, with a divider, as that is what the credit says they did.

I recently came across this group in "The Fellowship of the Ring:

Special Make-up, Creatures, Armour, Weapons and Minatures By WETA Digital LTD., Wellington, New Zealand

for Prosthetics Make-up.

My question is since we only do Prosthetics Make-up for this group could the group be shortened to:

Special Make-up By WETA Digital LTD., Wellington, New Zealand

I might be inclined to include Creatures by as well, since they designed and built the creatures,  but I have not problem with the shortening of the group listing.
