Interview with Traci Loader:

Traci Loader is a special makeup effects artist who has worked on productions like Infinity Pool, The Witch, and most recently, Nosferatu as Makeup Designer/Makeup Department Head, Directed by Robert Eggers. Traci’s career started in 1992 when she was doing fashion commercials, work for TV stations and video B movies. However, Traci’s big break came when she was working on The Witch and The Lighthouse, both directed by Robert Eggers. Traci’s collaboration with Eggers on these productions landed her the position on Nosferatu, Traci’s third feature with this director. 

Traci was not always aware that her passion for makeup would turn into a career. She attended school in a small program and a lot of her experience has come from self-teaching and repetition. Today, Traci’s work is multifaceted, from beauty makeup to eerie and grimy special effects makeup as seen in Nosferatu

Traci has been recognized for her work in the past receiving a few Canadian Screen Award nominations and winning the CSA for Best Makeup in 2022 for her work on the film Night Raiders. However, her most prestigious nomination to date has come from her work on Nosferatu, as Traci and her team have been nominated for the Oscar for best makeup and hairstyling. This huge achievement is only one of the exciting things coming up for Traci as she is set to begin working on the set of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
