random tips

so, i thought id post some random tips here cuz im bored cleaning out my kit and washing brushes for class..

-it is best to use any form of pros aide in a medicine cup or a paper palette.. it is so hard to take pros aide off anything else, nail polish, acetone and mek are pretty much the only things that will take it off...

-myristate is amazing. when using pros aide on your skin or hair, myristate is heaven when removing the pros aide.

-use dawn or palmolive dish soap to remove myristate from your brushes.

-gafquat is very sticky. wash your hair thoroughly after any use of gafquat.

-if u have any allergy to any powders in latex or vinyl, bald caps r not for u (i learned the hard way)

-greasepaint is awful. if you use a steaming hot towel and let it set on the greasepaint and pros aide on your skin it will help loosen the product, making it easier to remove.

these are all things ive learned during bald cap week at school..

bald caps

tips

so i was in class today, getting crepe wool spirit glued to my face and my teacher randomly said...

"when in doubt, blend it out"

and thought i should share... its a great little tip....

btw... crepe wool beards & spirit glue are not fun.. going to be glad when we finish this and move onto bald caps...

beards and facial hair....

so, weve been working on beards and facial hair in class... it is not fun... maybe if i do more applications it will get more fun.. but its slow right now...

were using crepe wool so we have to steam it, pull it apart and then hackle it...

more on that when i get some pictures to put up and some new tips...

Best Week Of My Life

this week i got to to go to the set of Jay Lees "Alyce"...

it was amazing... jenn hall is key makeup artist, if u dont know who she is, check her out she is amazing... if u get the crazies on dvd and watch the almost human fx makeup featurette shes on it... best teacher ever..

ive realized over the past week that this is what i want... this is where i want to be in my life.. this is what i want... i want to do makeup, i want to be on sets.. i want to make people bloody.. and do special fx...

im not sure if ill carry on with the whole associates degree in mortuary science... maybe.. ill need something to fall back on.. some steady work...

ive never felt a high like that before... i love that feeling...
