Thriller Makeup Practice

After conducting research into typical thriller makeup i decided to practice doing it myself. I tried three three different wounds, a heroes typical makeup and a villains. I did this to try and gain first hand experience in applying the makeup as i know i will eventually have to incorporate it into my opening sequence. Also to see which is easiest to recreate as i know that there are aspects of the opening sequence we may have to re film if the footage isn't adequate enough. Therefore, i tried to see which look would be easiest to recreate to make it easier to keep continuity in the footage.

The wounds:





The wounds were fun to create and whilst doing them i realised they could be adapted easily to any situation we needed to adapt them to.However, i think the biggest problem would be time and how difficult they would be to recreate accurately. Also, i considered the difficulties in editing the wound into a sequence as you would have to make it very believable and use a lot of special effects which could complicate things. However, they do look good when done properly and last a long time so we could potentially use them in our opening sequence if we wanted to.

The hero:


The heroes make up was very easy to reply. I used no foundation, concealer or eye liner to try and keep the look as natural as possible.I used a pale pink on her eyes and a pale pink lip gloss to conform to my research as i learnt that pale pinks are a convention in a thriller hero as it connotes innocence. The makeup would also be very easy to recreate as there are only three components and they're very subtle. As a replacement if we decided not to do this hero look on a female we could go for the option of wearing no makeup at all as this again connotes youthfulness and innocence.

The villain:


The makeup for the villain was more difficult to create than i originally thought. It is very difficult to evenly apply a foundation that is too pale for someones skin whilst still making it look pale. The eyes are easier to recreate however i didn't have a black eyeliner so i had to use blue. Also i think a black lipstick would make the look more effective and use a black contour palette rather then brown to make it seem more severe and highlight bone structure.
