Rule Britannia!

Hey guys, I haven't blogged in a while as Iv been super busy wrapping up college and gathering a portfolio together for a internship so I thought I would share this makeup I did in class this last week.





I decided to do a stone lady based off
my sketch but add a 18th Century look to it.

I made the dress out of a white bed sheet and liquid latex! I folded the parts I wanted folded and stuck them in place. I colored it with different shades of white gray and black to look like rock adding fullers earth to give a crumble effect.

I darkened down the wig with black shadow and sponged liquid latex onto it so it would go hard and crusty.

I painted all my union jacks in not as crackled as Id have liked but hay ho!I then covered the body in a fullers earth paste and let it dry going over it with latex. I painted the skin the same as the dress.

The finished result stone woman!


















I made the fan from cardboard with tissue latex-ed over it to make it look old.

Its a shame I couldn't post this around the time of the Jubilee but in a way I doubt it would have been seen seeing everyone was on a massive 4 weekday bender!

Its an Illusion

This summer has had a great start to it for me as I (and walking wonders fx!) am now officially Published!!!

For those who I haven't told by now I have my own feature in this summers addition of ILLUSION Magazine.

I was asked last year to send in some pictures of my work and at the beginning of the year.

I was asked if I would like to do some new makeup especially for the magazine and a short interview to go with it, which I was thrilled at!

I wanted to make some special pieces especially using prosthetics whist keeping it relevant to the magazine by adding some body painting,

One photo was from a competition win which was a amazing feeling mostly cause it was hair based which I'm not trained in at all!

I love dark, gore and fantasy so came up with a few characters that were different from each other but still stuck to my own style I'm developing.

I had lots of fun doing the makeup for Illusion and would love to do more in the future!


Its out now so go get a copy its always packed with interesting ideas!
