Fantasy Make up



 
In todays market, fantasy make up is being used in different outlets in the media and fashion world and the concepts behind the look, are incredable. The use of products, colour, texture and imagination make for great fantasy make up. Through the years with new products and technology, the fantasy make up has grown to extreme levels, sometimes finding it hard to fault a look, from the way that the make up has been applied, to the way it has been showen and the technology used to make it stand out and inhance whats been created. One musical that stands out form the crowd, is wicked. For the make up for Elphaba, she has a green base which is created by aqua colour. On top of this they contour her face with dark shades of grease paints and continue with the make up with stricking eyes and lips. They set this all with powder and add a black ,long style wig and the look is complete. This is simple yet affective and looks great for the show.

In the move Labyrinth, David bowie's make up is very creative in the way that it changes his face shape. the use of eye make up, and extending the arch in his brow to create an evil, stricking look gives his face even more character, and also helps with suggestion for the audience, as it give's an odd, untrusting feel towards him. ( I would trust David Bowie with my life!)

In the movie Avatar, this showsa great example of make up and technology, and where they both meet. The use of colour, texture and help from smart software, the creators were able to achieve a belivable look, and make the experience for the viewer greater. I think to create an avatar, there would of used stencil work, with airbrushing, and fine detail to create an impressive look, and on top to use technology to inhance this makes the overall apperance outstanding.
