2011-09-25T19:27:00.000-07:00

Guenevere+King Arthur

oooooh this makes me want red hair again!!

to get this look:

twist each piece 1/2 a turn and wrap around the smallest

curler you have..making sure to really saturate the ends to get that

curl look..then piece out and separate each curl making sure

not to get too fluffy..

products used:

big sexy hair play+stay spray &

kenra heat activated curl spray

2011-09-06T00:36:00.001-07:00

madamm vampire

to get these size curls around her face i used a pinki sized curling iron..

the same one i use for african american curls..

alternate the direction of curls tho-they'll look more natural.

styling wigs is quite hard..there are A LOT of rules.

like:no curling irons..or flat irons..or brushing or

anything you wouldn't do to miss barbie.

so we have to roll the strands in curlers+use a steamer to set them.

2011-09-06T00:05:00.000-07:00

typePAD NAILS:here's the how2

1paint nails a nice chalky color

2rip a piece of newsprint to size

3dip in rubbing alcohol

4press firmly onto nail10seconds

5finish+seal with topcoat

new fun nail trend. thanks hayhay for the inspiration!

my favorite were the big numbers+random faces i found.

2011-09-05T23:36:00.000-07:00

hottip: i like to mix-in black lipstick to darken ANY look.

so much fun to work with.and had the most rad-tastic pieces.
i applied a foundation that was at least 3 shades lighter than their color to just the jaw line and up..applying a really dark bronzer and cream stick foundation to the jawline and down through their decollete. still kept their eyes super smoky.. and blush super pink.

these were done in the wee hours of the mornin..we had too much fun.more Mountain Dew please!

not the usual glitz&glam..
i had to make these dudes look a little drugged up.
coral shadow smudged below lower lashline..and red liner in the water line.
paled out face and for dark circles..i applied a foundation 4 shades darker..
and blotted with a medium brown bronzer and dabbed it with a plum matte shadow.

applied the same foundation to lips and blotted with a translucent powder..
{pursing lips while applying to get a chapped-cracked look}
we also cut chunks out of his hair and never washed it.
taber-one of the writers-had a cameo-an almost dead guy with a nice bloody nose.check it.

..i spy a yellow monkey on that mini van..

while catching grapes in our mouths at lunch..paul thought it would

{makeup artist} Jeanne Van Phue for Twilight

so i have gotten to the bottom of this...{or atleast some dirt. . ..}

Q: What was the process for creating the various characters’ looks?
A: Katherine Hardwicke, the director, and I have previously worked together on a movie called “Lords of Dogtown,” so we know each other very well. I began by preparing sketches of my vision, keeping in mind the descriptions Stephanie Myers (Twilight’s Author) set forth in the books.

Bella’s (Kristen Stewart’s character) description in the novel is very pale and extremely beautiful with large chocolate brown eyes, so she wore colored lenses every day. I also pictured her as a natural beauty, which is exactly what Kristen is. I used a light hand while applying all neutral colors to make her look as though she had no makeup on.

Edward’s (Robert Pattinson’s character) description in the novel is impossibly handsome almost god-like. His skin is marble-pale, hard as stone and ice cold, but perfect and flawless. Edwards’ eyes are described as topaz colored when he is normal and black like onyx, when hungry.

Q: Were there any changes to the looks of the characters that weren’t planned?
A: At the beginning, Katherine Hardwicke visualized Edward with long hair, yet after studying his face and jaw line in the makeup test, the decision was made to go with short hair to accentuate his amazing jaw line.

Q: What was the overall look of the makeup in this movie?
A: All the vampires had to be pale, but I didn’t want them to look to ghoulish, somewhere between Sweeney Todd and Interview with the Vampire. The choice was made for a denser, more opaque look for the supporting vampires and a lighter look for the leading man.

The challenge was they still had to look beautiful and handsome. The key was striking the delicate shading balance. We had two weeks of makeup test. This is the time for a makeup artist to unleash their imagination. During the testing Katherine let me know when I was on the mark. Katherine has a fabulous eye for detail and everything I did had to be approved by her.

Q: Were there any other challenges you encountered while working on location in Portland, Oregon?
A: The rain was a huge challenge. We were outside, and it rained the entire time we were there. Most of the shots were exterior; trying to fix makeup in the rain with wet faces and wet brushes was difficult. In the end, I must say I loved working on this movie, it challenge my creativity as never before. The cast was such a great group of talented young actors.

Q: What were your non-makeup related responsibilities in terms of creating this look?
A: Another one of my jobs was too find a contact lens specialist. So I called upon the expertise of Cristina Patterson Ceret FX lens/painter from Professional VisionCare.

Q: What M·A·C products did you use on the film Twilight?
A: The M.A.C products I used on this film were eye shadows and powder for our principles. We had several other characters and day players I used M.A.C. foundations, lipsticks and blushes.

Q: How long have you used M·A·C products?
A: In 30 years as a makeup artist in my career and over 50 movies, M·A·C products have played an integral part in my work. I have probably used all of them at one time or another. I choose the cosmetics based on their skin tone and whether they are oily or dry. It also depends on how the product reacts to their particular skin type.
