The posts from this point forward will incorporate photos from this current class. Soon I will be incorporating beauty into this as well, with [...]

Thursday December 10th I successfully graduated from Professional Cinema Makeup, taught by Nikki Greene. And as always, one graduation leads to another lesson to learn, teach and grow…. Next step? SPFX makeup. Same instructor… next level up. What a way to start off the new year! I’m excited. And, as with this past class, I [...]

Or at least that was the look I was going for as one of these will go toward my portfolio. The model is my twin sister, Kelly, and the photographer was Lucy B. (don’t know her last name).

I LOVED doing this makeup… even more than I thought I would. I just love bringing characters (or history) to life. The makeup I did for class was inspired by The Lion King production. a close up meant to be seen afar off…

You’ve seen them if you have seen a live show in Vegas. Talk about HEAVY makeup with LOTS of glitter and shine. I I needed to do even more contouring on her face for this photo. I literally applied glitter on her lips for maximum shine. If this photo was taken under stage lights, you’d [...]

Fantasy makeup isn’t fully stage makeup, however, as it is still based in beauty makeup. Fantasy makeup is most commonly seen in photographs and on the run way. So you need to keep [...]

Below is the standard look for an actor (in this case, actress) head shot. This is the look for a colored photo head shot. For one in black and white, the color would be more bold on the lips and contouring of face and eyes to make sure all features still carry over in the [...]
