I'm in the finishing stages of my script and will be needing to do test subjects before production starts. Production will be starting in approx 6 months.

I just ran across that site. It has some interesting tips in that "Step-by-Step" section.

That's a good site. There are also plenty of useful books you could get from a library/bookstore such as Dick Smith's Do-It-Yourself-Monster-Makeup or Make-up Designary's Character Make-Up by Paul Thompson (the book I use).

I've studied/practiced make-up effects for film and could probably answer a lot of questions you might have.
