Task 4

Task 4

I could probably list loads of films where the makeup artistry has been awsome but can only list 5.

 

The first being a proud Scot has to be Mel gibson playing William Wallace in Braveheart....FREEDOM!  

 

 

 

I love the makeup in the likes of movies such as Mrs Doubtfire and Tootsie that transform the actors into middle aged women.

 

Benjanim Button and The Goonies are also great examples of aging and special effect make up...and theres a bit of eye candy there with Brad Pitt half way through the film.

 

 

 

When it comes to wigs Hairspray, Alice in Wonderland and Pirates of the Caribbean have got to be up there with the best.

 

 

 

The Lion King that is currently showing at Lyceum Theatre makes great use of wigs and hair piece's.

Top makeup product Task 6

My favourite beauty product that I cant live without is YSL's iconic Touche eclat. If I'm having a good skin day I can use this without foundation just touching up any dark circles, blemishes and highlighting cheek bones, brows at the sides of your nose, the corner of your mouth and the hollow of your chin. It really is amazing.

 
The top voted product discussed in class was Kat's Collection lasting perfection concealer. Its had rave reviews comes in four shades and best of all costs under £5.00. Defo going to have to try this out!!!
