Question Time! - Task 5

If I could ask my favourite Makeup Artist any questions, what would they be?

3. What made you choose this career path?

4. Are there any brands or products you would recommend ?

5. Are there any tips you could give me to make sure my work is at its best?

Multiple Makeup - Task 4

                                                 Johnny Depp in "Alice in Wonderland"
                      I like this makeup because it uses unusual colours, pink and white I mean                                         c'mon :))also the technique of weaving is used for the eyebrows.

Lee Pace in "Guardians of the Galaxy"

I think the illusion of a double texturized face is so cool and cleverly portrays the villain that he is.

         

Angelina Jolie in "Maleficent"

The paleness of the face in contrast to the grey contour is what I like most about this makeup

adding to the evil vibe.

Philip Friedman in "Insidious 1&2"

I find this interesting because this man is aged with makeup and made to appear as an old woman..creepy.

Michael Keaton in "Beetlejuice"

The way he is created to look gross is cool by there being marks and stains not only on his face but on his neck also and the dirty, matted hair also adds to the effect which I like.

Giving Answers - Task 3

Questions

1. What were your expectations on starting the course?
My expectations? Well I expected makeup, makeup and did I mention makeup ?

2. What are your initial thoughts on West College Scotland and the Media make up course?

I think the college is welcoming and relaxed and that there is a lot more than meets the eye with the course, being able to blow dry my hair the right way now is a bonus!

3. What is your funniest moment of college life so far?

Probably when I managed to stupidly bump my head off the hairdressing equipment attached to the wall.

4. What is the most interesting thing you have learned or learned how to do so far?

Making prosthetic pieces with latex, you can literally make anything you want it's so cool.

5. Who is your make up Idol?

Rick Findlater, he worked on the Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogies making people look abnormal or unhuman. Yes I like that stuff :))

6. Why do you want to be a MUA?

Makeup is a passion of mine. I knew I wanted a job in makeup when I realised I would enjoy it in my spare time as well as a career. It makes me happy! :)

Make-up Artist Under The Spotlight! Task 2

Rick Findlater

Rick Findlater was the head make-up artist on two of my favourite trilogies The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, geeky I know.

Rick has also worked on films such as Avatar and The Chronicles of Narnia both also great films. He has been active since 1997 and since then obtained a nomination for Best Makeup and hairstyling at the 85th Academy Awards for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. The reason I have put him in the spotlight is because it baffles me how he can take a human face and turn it into all sorts of wonderful beings. I mean if I was transformed into a dwarf ? well it would be cool but I can't guarentee I'd look any good :))

 

 So yeah this is my favourite Makeup Artist! :)



 

 

Right time to give this a whizz! Task 1

So NASMAH eh? 

Well, this is the National Association of Screen Make-up Artists and Hairdressers. They spur the standard and quality of media hair and make-up to its finest as well as making sure to promote they're members. This committee was brought about in 1996 from an idea by 50 talented make-up artists and hairdressers. The association is funded by nothing other than memberships and sponsorships

Pretty cool don't you think?

There is a variety of links to companies which supply equipment, provide courses and offer help and information to all its members in need of a little guidance :)

e <----- This is the way forward! good guidance :))

  

One of these suppliers I checked out are Make-up International

 

                                                   http://www.make-upinternational.com/ 

This company supply cruelty free make-up complying with the Humane Cosmetics Standard since 1986 and provide a full range of colours & formulas, complimenting all skin tones, ages & genders. 

I think this is great considering my skin tone resembles the colour of a glass of milk so its a win win situation for me :))

Make-up kits, individual products and brushes can be purchased as well as provided services that can cater to your needs if it be help in finding the perfect product for you! 

Anyone sharing my milk situation or not could totally benefit from this site so check it out i mean how could you not it sells make-up c'mon! :)
