TASK 6

Make-up artists are essential members of any TV, film, theatre or fashion crew. It is up to them to make models or actors 'look' the part they are playing. This can be anything from creating a natural everyday look for a newsreader or a scary monster for a fantasy film.

There are generally 3 kinds of make-up artistry for the media. Firstly, fashion make-up is required for models on a magazine shoot or on the catwalk in a fashion show. The make-up will need to be suitable for the clothes that the model is wearing and the image that the designer is trying to portray. Theatrical make-up is required for performers on the stage. Musicals such as Cats and the Lion King require great skill and patience from make-up artists but non-musical productions also need make-up artists as the audience needs to see the expressions and emotions of the actors. Special effects make-up is used for TV dramas such as hospital dramas for those gory injuries or for films where an illusion is created. For example, a film like Planet of the Apes requires prosthetics such as masks to make actors look like apes. However, new technology also has a part to play. High Definition television is accessible to many of us and because of the super-sharp images that are now filmed the make-up needs to be even more flawless and realistic.

Make-up artists work very closely with the lighting technicians, production and costume designers, the camera and lighting crew, the performers and the directors as they have to make the person up in accordance with the light and the production or show they are working on.

TASK 4

Doctor Parnassus
The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus make-up designer Sarah Monzani. Sarah has been placed on the Oscar short-list for best make-up for awards. She also received a nomination for the BAFTA in the same category. Both for her work on The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus. Monzani is no stranger to either award, having won both the Oscar and BAFTA for her phenomenal work on “The Quest For Fire” in 1983. 

In her career, Sarah has worked as make-up artist/hair designer or make-up designer on such films as “Interview With The Vampire”, “Evita”, “Valkyrie”, “Midnight Express” and “Bugsy Malone” among many others. I’m very excited about that movie.


Alice in Wonderland 

I really just wanted to see the makeup – which was amazing. Oscar winning makeup artist Valli O’Reilly was the head makeup artist for the flim. (She’s also Canadian.) Valli did a double major in art history and theatre and studied sculpture. She planned to be an artist and started out doing makeup for friends for New York TV commercials and fashion to earn extra money.
The makeup for Helena Bonham Carter took about two and half hours each day to transform her into the bulbous headed Red Queen. It’s important for the makeup to be more flawless than normal as they worked in High-Def and 3-D.

Makeup Forever eyeshadow in blue was used on the ‘eyes’ but when they first did the makeup tests O’Reilly used Yves Saint Laurent. O’Reilly first hand painted the lips and then created a stencil to be used to recreate the look for every day.
 The White Queen’s lips are a dark plum that was brushed on with a very fine brush. The nails are a black-plum in Nars or Essie.
The Mad Hatter’s look is my favourite. Johnny Depp’s personal makeup artist, Patty York did his makeup.
The makeup notes indicate that the period that inspired the Mad Hatter’s wardrobe was also a period where a lot of people had different chemical poisoning (which also would have made them a bit disturbed), and that The Mad Hatter in this interpretation has mercury poisoning, so this influenced his whole look. One eye is lavenders and purples, and on the other is turquoise, light and dark blue with green. I like the white eyeliner with white eyelashes and the lower pink ones. It will be interesting to see how the makeup influences the spring and summer trends. I imagine we’ll be seeing more blue eye shadow.
