makeup in films

Alice in wonderland


I love the makeup in Alice in wonderland because it is exaggerated funny looking and different looking makeup to other films.

Twilight

I like the makeup in twilight because it makes the actor look dead, and very scary



Sweeney Todd

I like the makeup in Sweeney Todd because it draws there eyes in and make it look dull and depressing.

They way the makeup is done in Edward scissor hands is really good the scars on the face look very real.

History of makeup

History of makeup

The first use of prototype cosmetics is usually traced back to the ancient Egyptians; many Egyptian tombs contained makeup canisters and kits. Cleopatra used lipstick that got its hue from ground carmine beetles, while other women used clay mixed with water to colour their lips.
Most notable, though, was the ancient Egyptians' use of kohl. Both men and women would paint the kohl, a mixture of metal, lead, copper, ash and burnt almonds, all around their eyes -- picture a football player with grease paint under his eye combined with Tammy Faye Baker and her excessive use of mascara. The circles of kohl were meant to ward off the evil eye and dangerous spirits and were also handy in deflecting the harsh desert sun. In recent years, scientists have determined that the kohl makeup may have inadvertently helped the Egyptians ward off infectious diseases; the lead would kill off bacteria, though if the Egyptians had had longer life spans, the lead might have eventually killed them off as well.

Dress the Pirie's

The group costume we have chosen for Donald and his family is The Little Mermaid themed!

 Since Donald said his son wanted to dress up as a mermaid we thought this would be perfect!

First off is Ursula! 

This costume is £94 and the make up would take it up to about £120

The wig is here on ebay for £70!

The make up for ursula is really fun to do, here's a really good tutorial on how to create her look

 Ursula Make Up

Next is Ariel!

Not much make up for this, other than the basic girly makeup and a long red wig (on ebay)

If you want a really good costume, prepare to pay up to $100 

and the red wig is here for £449.99! (yikes)

And finally for Donald, King Triton!

This one is amazing, hope you look good in blue Donald!

The make up for this could be just some basic old man, wrinkled make up.

You can find all of the accessories on ebay, even some fake abs! This costume could cost well over £150 if you're splashing out on a good tail and accessories. 

heres the wig and beard on ebay for £20
