Task Six : Scottish Make-up Artists

 

                     Scottish Make-up Artists

My first choice in a make-up artist from Scotland is Rachel Gallagher, I found her on twitter and her work is great, she is extremely enthusiastic about her work and keeps her followers up to date about what events and films she is doing.






My five questions for these make-up artists


1) Is being a make-up artist what you expected it to be like at the start of it?


2) Are you always pleased with your work you have done or do you sometimes end up disappointed with the outcome?


3) If you had the choice, where in the world would you work as a make-up artist ?


4) What is the best career path to go down for make-up Artistry?


5) Did you always know you wanted to be a make-up artist?

Task four : Favourite Films

 

These are my top favourite films with special effects make-up in them : Part one

 

SAW


I Love the Saw films, The makeup is so realistic and gory. In each of the saw films they have created new and different ideas for the make-up none of the scenarios are ever the same and that's what I like so much about it.




A Nightmare on Elm Street
The make-up in this film its extraordinary, its so different to other films and the character of Freddy Krueger is very imaginative. The artist has created an effect of burns all over him and makes him look dangerous.




Edward scissor hands
This film is great, I could watch it over and over again and not get sick of it, the make-up is so effective and the scarring of Edwards face looks realistic but it shows that Edward is different to everyone else in the film.





The Joker In Batman
The jokers make-up is scary and dangerous looking, I love this as it gives and edge to him and an uncertainness' about his actions that he is planning to carry out in the film.




Avatar
The make-up in Avatar shows that the creatures are from another world but similar to humans, the blue makes them look aesthetically pleasing.




Here are three uses of wigs used in my top three films with wig use in them
Edward scissor hands : a wig was used for his crazy black hairstyle
Saw: a wig would have been used for the jigsaw dolls hair
Avatar: a wig is used for the avatars long braided hair

Task Two Make-up Artist

 

For my Make-up Artist I chose Pat McGrath
who was named the most influential make up
artist in the world today by Vogue Magazine

She takes runway makeup to a new level by making each model stand out
in their own unique way. I enjoy looking at her work and taking ideas from her work and using it to create my own looks.
