HND Year 1 & Year 2
Makeup Artistry for TV and FIlm
Silicone Making
The silicone prosthetics are made in a long step by step process, first I build the shape of prosthetics by using oil based clay, when I'm happy with my design I will make it into a permanent mould by pouring cheap silicone over it and when I need to use the product I will use Baldez plastic to make second skin and pour a silicone in middle, I always pigment my silicone using grease paint.
Crepe Hair( False Hair)
In some movie productions false hair is needed to add for example as facial hair, eyebrows or extensions to help bring an actor more to their character. We use crepe hair and spirit gum and slowly build up layer by layer
Wig making
It is important for theatres and film productions to understand how to block, wash, make and maintain wigs. A look isn't complete without hair being styled and involved so it's essential to understand the theory behind hair and wig making for future productions.
Costume Design
Although not necessary for the course, I took matters in my own hands on certain makeup looks and designed costumes to fit the overall look, for example I bought a vintage dress from a charity shop and added sweet ornaments onto it by hot-glue and fabric glue taking inspiration from online.
