Top 5 examples of makeup in films I love!

1. Edward Scissorhands - I love how the makeup & hair is very dramatic and SFX is used for the scars on his face. The Makeup artist for the film is Ve Neill who has also worked on Beetlejuice, Mrs Doubtfire & Pirates of the Caribbean.

2. Tim Burtons Alice in Wonderland - I love the makeup in this film as it is very over the top & dramatic and I love that Valli O'reilly the MUA keeps Alice's look very plain & simple to show that she is not like the other chracters as bright & bold colours are used on them.

 

3. Black Swan - The MUA for this film is Judy Chin. She does a massive makeup transformation on Natalie Portman from the innocent white swan to the edgy black swan. Using dark colours & red contacts to emphasise the danger in the eyes.

 4. X Men - Rick Baker is the SFX MUA for this film. The character Mystique is head to toe in full blue paint & scales to make her look more like an alien. I love this as its full body paint so you would need to make sure everywhere is covered.

5.Hellboy - The makeup used for the character in this film was all foam prosthetic pieces, including his pecs, a skull cap, and full-facial prosthetic that covered everything except his lower lip. The MUA for this film was Jake Garber who was also MUA in Hellboy 2.
