Day 3

 On Friday we started the day with a group prompt. Ms. Bowman tasked us with taking a fairytale and creating a look for our parnter, we would then apply our makeup look to our partner. Sopiha Watts and Sophia O’Heron chose to do Snowhite and The Evil Queen, using eye brow blocking to create Sophia W’s look and the icicle gell to create Sophia O’s look. The concept was meant to be a combination of the Snow Queen’s story and Snowhite. Sophia W’s look was based off of the Evil Queen from Disney’s animated Snowhite movie, whereas Sophia O’s look is meant to look as if she were froze due to the Snow Queen. 



The next concept and group was Kat and Sabrina, who chose to take Hansel and Gretel and reimagine it in a more horror way. The concept was to have Hansel and Gretel turning to candy, as if that was what would happen if they were to stay with the witch. For Kat’s look, Sabrina used scar wax to create gumdrops emerging from the skin and a candycane doing the same. For Sabrina’s look Kat painted candy elements and tears. Lastly, the two looks share cartoonish eyebrows to communicate the character’s sibling relationship. 

The last look and group was Jayla and Sonieya who chose a cyborg Tinkerbell look. They did a half and half look, in which, one side has circuitry made from metalic power converted to paint for optimal opacity and the other half is a more natural looking Tinker Bell face. Jayla’s Tinkerbell has contour that indicates a sickly state and Soneiya’s has eyeliner that resembles wings. The two looks share a Tinkerbell green eyeshadow as well. 




In the afternoon Sophia O. taught us how to use scar wax and we all made wounds on the inside of our arm. We used scar wax to mold the shape we wanted and then create irritation colors with out bruise wheel. The last step was to add the fake blood in the center. From left to right this is whose scar is whose:

Day 7

  Today, the second to last day of our J-Term, was a really exciting one. We had two ‘final looks’ to complete before the end of the course, so we had some options for how to spend our time. One of our options was to use the morning to do a test run of a look and then execute it in the afternoon, doing the same thing for the other look tomorrow. Another thing we could do was a test run of one look in the morning and one in the afternoon and then do both of the final looks tomorrow. We all chose to experiment with and finish designing look number one first thing in the morning and then take the rest of the day to complete it - planning to repeat the process for look number two tomorrow. As we worked in the morning, we had a documentary about historical makeup playing. The film was really cool and provided a lot of insight as to how people in different eras viewed makeup and what that told us about their societies. This was particularly relevant to the historical makeup that we had been

  Blog SFX J-Term Day 1, 1/4/23 Today was the first day of the SFX J-Term, where we will learn how to design and apply theatrical and special effects makeup.  Before we could do anything else, we all had to understand the materials we were working with, and how to do a basic full-face make-up look on ourselves. We figured out how to match our skintones and find what contour and highlight color worked best for us, as well as what application style worked best for our face shape. After lunch, we started learning about age makeup. After a few video lessons showing us the basics, we went to the Tinkeria to do eachother’s makeup (another class needed the room we were originally in). In pairs, we spennt the last of the day attempting to make our partner either old- or middle-aged. Sophia O’Heron is not pictured because she did Ms. Bowman’s makeup. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of Ms. Bowman before I left, so you are unable to see her work. I can assure you, however, that the fi

  Today in we learned a lot of things, including an entry on character makeup, how to block out our brows, and we did old makeup on ourselves.  As you can see below Sophia has on character makeup, specifically, the Evil Queen. For this look, she had to block out her eyebrows to achieve the high eyeshadow look and to achieve the new eyebrow shape. To contour her face more like the character Sofia used her contour shade or grey to give the face a more "snatched" look. On the character there is lots of visible blush, therefore, she used that blush over her contour, there was also a choice to do a Tim burton character as you can see below as well on Sabrina. They followed a tutorial on the Tim burton look and it came out amazing!
