Makeup in Films

Makeup i'm loving in some films is the ones that completely change the actors facial characteristics. I just love how all this is achieved and how realistic it can appear to the audience.

Naomi Watts is the actress who had the leading role playing Princess Diana. I love how the MUA made Naomi Watts looking more like Princess Diana than her actual self.

Daniel Day Lewis is the actor who played the role as Lincoln. The makeup artist for this is Kazuhiro Tsuji. Who i think is an amazing makeup artist, i love how real looking his work is and he can make anyone into anything.

The Terminator is another i love. Stanley Winston was the makeup artist who achieved this look for the film.

I like how the skin is peeling away to show the metal underneath to show that he is not human.

Would love to do this one day!

Avatar is an amazing! I love the makeup used in this film and just the over all look of the characters, the actress in this picture is Zoe Saldana and the makeup artist for the film was Tegan Taylor.

Sweeny todd is a awesome film, one from Tim Burton who loves the whole darkened pale appearances in his films. Ve Neill is the makeup artist for Johnny Depp in this film, i love this makeup and i still think Johnny is hot! 

Thanks for checking out my blog ;-)

Task 3


1. What were your expectations on starting the course? I expected the course to be just as fun like it has been but more intense, i have only started so that is yet to come I reckon. I was nervous when applying because i wasn't sure if i could do the work because i hadn't any experience before but my lecturers teach in the best way and i always have fun learning here at WCS.

2. What are your initial thoughts on WCS and the media makeup course? I have heard in the past that WCS is the best around and now that i have started i agree completely. I absolutely love my media makeup course. I am inspired by my lecturers and the way they teach us makeup and hair in the easiest way.

3. What is your funniest moment of college life so far? I have been having a ball in all my classes but i think my funniest moment was in Essential skills class, when we had to make up 3 things about ourselves and 1 had to be a lie, it was lots of fun finding out more about the class and had a good right laugh too.

4. What is the most interesting thing you have learned or learned how to do so far? Blogging. I have never blogged before in my life, i believe that i am getting the hang of it the more i blog. The most interesting thing i have learned to do so far is special effects, i love using latex and wax with all the gory blood. ;-)

5. Who is your makeup idol? Kazuhiro Tsuji is one makeup artist that really inspires me. I love the work that he has done and it would be amazing to do great things just as he has done.

6. Why do you want to be a MUA? I would love to be a professional makeup artist, working in Theatre, Tv or Film. I have a big interest in makeup and would love to go far in this business.

A makeup artist that really inspires me is Kazuhiro Tsuji, born in Kyoto, Japan.

He was responsible for doing the makeup on some big films such as Lincoln, Planet of the Apes, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Tron Legacy, The Ring, and many other greats.

Tsuji originally started out sculpting and participating in other professions like painting, photography and art but by the time he reached high school, he was aspired to take on the role of a special effects makeup artist. This led to him liaising with Dick Smith who worked on films like The Godfather, The Exorcist and Amadeus. It was at this point in his life that his career started to blossom into the BAFTA winning makeup artist he is today.

I have a huge admiration for Tsuji's work because he is not afraid to experiment with his projects in an attempt to get the required effect and thrives on making looks that are a little different from the norm, giving a signature touch to his work. I believe Tsuji is a very talented man who i can learn much from and given the opportunity, It would be a great honor to work with him.
