Media Make Up NQ 6 by Emily :): September 2012

Tuesday 18 September 2012

My expectations at college??

1. What were your expectations on starting the course?

I thought that the course would be good, however i thought there would be more than two hours aweek of special effects work :) im enjoying it anyway

2.What are your initial thoughts on JWC and the Media make up course?

I have previously studied 2 years of hairdressing at JWC so i kind of knew what to expect, although the teaching methods are different, The make up department is brilliant, they keep us all busy, interacting with them and eachother and they hold your attention FAB!!

3.What is your funniest moment of college life so far?

Roz stutting her stuff through the town centre proudly wearing her special effects make up i done on her (NO ONE STOPPED TO ASK IF SHE WAS OK!! )
and her texting me saying "everyone is staring at me" haha

4.What is the most interesting thing you have learned or learned how to do so?

How a little make up goes along way, and it looks better!!

5.Who is your make up idol?

A mix between Rick Baker, his film work is outstanding and even now hes still sought after, and Richard Talor, i would love to own my own special effects company in the future. :)

6.. Why do you want to be a MUA?
I love it, i like the thought of creating new things :)

roisin again!

Roz had a drunken fall in Word up :)

I used 2 small pieces of wax to form the lacerations and a bruise wheel to make the swelling and bruising around the eye, cheek and fore head. Wound filler was then applied to the wax to give the effect of an open cut.
I then used fresh scratch blood on a stippling sponge and moved it over the effected area to make the swelling look better and give the effect of grazing.
I then used the liquid blood to give the effect of the wounds being open and bleeding :)

(ROZ WENT IN TOWN LIKE THIS) HAHA!!!!
