Backstage

Not only the sensitivity of the wedding makeup, or the charm and sweetness of make up fashion & glamour on these pages, but also a bit’ of blood and nastiness.
The idea of ​​Frank and Mary to see each other with a little’ of blood on him has been reworked by me and Gabriel in a rather minimalist (away from the atmosphere pulp and splatter horror films the 80s and 90s) domains in which realism and conceptualism.
In 'play your game’ (Pictured above) Mery is playing his life in a game of cards with the always fascinating vampire Francesca, and the opening bet of the game comes down fresh from her wrist.

The make up of the characters in the scene is light and almost neutral: has always been made with funds made fat light, neutral colors, eye shadows red and rosé, colored contact lenses to make it look flat and bright, and all helped to make the atmosphere quite surreal.

The wounds were instead made by molding: In fact, the model made of plasticine, I got the impression with a silicone rubber for polyaddition. Then I created a movie on the footprint in cap mat you can easily blend with the skin, sucessivamente and I filled it with bondo, which has maintained transparency.
The result is an effect of extreme realismoin which the prosthesis has no edges and whose color blends naturally (thanks to semitrapsarenza) with that of the complexion.
