Backstage

Here are some photos made the 7 8th May, during the week of inauguration of the European Photography.
Following the theme provided by the organizers of the event, that is, the Tricolore, I made two bodypainting that also celebrate the 150th anniversary of Italy.
Heads on both models and the image of Garibaldi immersed in the flag of the Tricolor.

All event and in particular the bodypainting has seen a great triumph of visitors, who took turns during the evening to follow the progress of work to get to see two little girls to take off the finished work.

Thanks to all those who have gone to see me at work, just to make me a greeting, to those who made the photos and especially to Carol and Bianca for having worked as models, and Alex for their help in the field !

Republish this old guide on how to make a nice makeup feline, always in vogue for those who want to deal with a little carnival’ of joy. E’ You can also change the colors proposed (blue and blue, Pink and rosso) to give the mask a touch of originality !

First of all applied with a sponge, a white light enough on the face (I used the acquacolor) , including the eye, and softening the neck. Then start drawing with the black nose cone, as shown, about respecting the limits given by the vertical line of the eyes and ears of the mid face (red lines).
The mark must be decisive and firm, starting off from the edges of the mouth to get thin and faded face up to the half way line.

E’ important to taking a nose-shaped inverted triangle, the upper lip and a double curve, typical facial feline. In the rest of the face I made a trick based on triangles and curves, to remember a bit’ the stripes of the coat brindle.

In this case, to remember the effect of the hair, I left the poorly defined bodi, created with many small irregular pennellatine.

Finally I marked with a white nose and chin more cargo, I called contornadoli black eyes and stretching a bit’ out, and I scored a mustache with many small dots blacks.
Another effect you can give with sponge (little!) gray / black part of the face remained between the white stripes; This will help to create chiaroscuro effects and make the most basic trick of living.
Accessories such as ear, vampire teeth and colored contact lenses with the eye of the cat will make the mask even more attractive ! =)

As promised a few days ago, here are some simple steps to achieve in a short time and with materials readily available from a nice trick Zombie, On the subject saw the carnival imminent or partner if you want to remove some’ troppo assillanti 🙂

Materials needed:

• White base for facepainting (excellent even in the clown makeup cream)
• Black pencil make-up
• Color fire red (well only a lipstick)
• Pre-vulcanized liquid latex (alternatively a layer of toilet paper and PVA glue)
• possibly a correction / economic foundation

How to proceed:

Apply with a sponge in the liquid latex to the cheeks and make it dry using a hair dryer. In the event that you do not have the latex (mesticheria or sell it in stores a few colors €) can be done as follows:

Separated by a piece of toilet paper (or a paper towel) two-ply, tear so that it follows an approximate outline of the cheeks (you could get two more or less oval) and paste to the face, one cheek, using PVA glue as a bonding agent diluted in a bit’ d’acqua, being careful to apply the glue to the side of oval, and not in the middle.

When finished you can proceed to slightly whiten his face, as the most preferred white forehead, the nose and cheekbones.

Apply now some’ black eyes: over the entire upper eyelid and lower eyelid, surrounding the whole eye.
Wait for it to dry out a bit’ (in case you're using water colors) then mix it with a bit’ sfumatelo on lipstick and white: the objective is to achieve a dark purple.

Now, with a pencil or black color on the cheeks create a chiaroscuro: the goal is to give an idea of emptying, then you can proceed to break the latex or toilet paper in vertical strips, coloring the underlying skin with red lipstick, To give an idea of the flesh.

Finally, color the tip of the nose and lips with black.
If you're using a pencil ol'eyeliner can score some interesting cross line, thin lips, not too long, giving the idea of ​​a lip that is breaking.

The concealer or the foundation may be useful at this point if we realize that we have exaggerated with the white or black and white will fade further (apply it to lighten the black, then fade to white).

If we want to add some more details, We can draw two parallel lines on the forehead and round, by then fade out, to give an idea of the passage of a large vein or the skin is breaking.

A red halo around the mouth and stains like blood spatter made will make it more gruesome and terrifying your creation..

Neck and hand colored the same color of the face , and uncombed hair properly and fixed with a bit’ spray or foam to make you worthy of revival from death …

The photo shoot was carried out in all external, Parco Ducale in Parma, daylight to a late summer day.
For makeup Eilidh, wanting to obtain a quite natural, I made a clear basis on the face, shaded pink cheeks and cheekbones with a natural and edged black eye, pencil (eyeliner) el'eyeliner lower eyelid removal on the upper eyelid, just above the root of the eyelashes.
I used a purple in poor enough to give off a color tone to the eyes, delicatamanete brushing the upper eyelid, starting from the eye closest to the nose and blend it with a white eye shadow outside corner of the eye, near the end of the arch eyebrows.
The same eyebrows were re-redefined the use of a dark brown pencil, also to make the transition to a nicer hair wig blacks used shortly after, very good in giving a stronger tone to the character and remove it so decided by the fund, Very colorful and bright.
For the second series of shots instead, made towards the sunset, we went back to the classic style, Eilidh for removing the wig to regain its natural brown color, tune with the background color of the trees, and focusing instead on the lips, on with a bright red.

A Saturday afternoon spent at home, color with dirty hands and a desire to recreate the atmosphere and a bit gothic’ cup.. typical of dusk, indefinite time between the day and the night creatures day and night meet, undefined as the distance that exists between death and life.

New drink with friends organized the Cost of Milan, where, launched the theme of International Day for the Rights of the Child, we colored our model who kindly provided us with the torso and arms cartoon characters

The fact that he has no basic project and to have worked each with their own colors led to some discoloration and all'accavallarsi of two or more people in the realization of the work, despite the kind offer made to us by the holders of local, to continue working in the private room
