Backstage

Contacted by the agency that was responsible for directing and implementing the movie, I turned the white skin of the actor, in the tan of a farmer who spends his life in the countryside.

The trick has been achieved with a slightly orange cream base, lying on the sponge on the face and arms, buffered with a dark powder, and then airbrushed shaded in darker parts (backs of the arms, front, tip of the nose and cheekbones) with a chocolate brown color, to give the proper effect of a brownish skin and sunburned.

All this took place on location in the estates Mutti, at the foot of the castle of Torrechiara (Parma).

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 ! =)

The theme of vampires has always fascinated me, and, having happened almost by accident before my eyes This contest, organized by Make Up Forever on the new theater 'Dracula's stronger than death Love’ I decided to participate.

I had no doubts when looking for a hero to the photo shoot, treated with great professionalism by Lorenzo Fontanesi and Mariasole, I knew from the beginning Francesca B., with his passion for the Gothic and his red hair 'Lucy', would have made my case.

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.

On Thursday 19 August brought together artists of different nationalities for extraction and celbrare together the beauty of flowers, in this first contest of floral painting on the body, held in Pietrasanta.
Protagonists of the event and models bodypainters, that for six hours were challenged to 'the sound of brush’ (but there are also people who have used the sponge ol'aerografo) in this mixed race, that gave birth to the most disparate works, the most light and delicate as butterflies and bold as the most amazing cats…

But what is an aperitif painting ?
By this time a bit’ I wanted a humorous show of our usual aperitifs between bodypainters in Milan, at every meeting where there is a new working group.

So this time, hosted by the Bar White Parco Sempione in Milan (and a little’ chew mosquito, actually) we have found a new reason to attract the attention of those present, Dony in the transformation of the Riddler in a pretty pink kitty. A team with no specific plan, in which each participant has improvised at the time of its creation,.
Appointment to the next drink kids !

E’ now reached the carnival and we have not yet thought about what mask to wear for a nice evening with friends in the disco ? Or more simply.. after years of serious denial, and we decided to return children to celebrate for one evening with his face painted ? So why not try to pull off our artistic side and make a facepainting for a night when no one is who seems…

Making a facepaint is something within reach of anyone with a bit’ patience, material and an hour of time to spare.

The material:

• a white makeup pencil
• a black makeup pencil
• colors for the face-based water that you can find stores that sell items for the carnival, or supermarkets
• a sponge triangular lattice, which is sometimes also provided with the colors.
• accessories to enrich the trick that you have chosen, as false eyelashes, colored wigs and glitter.

After cleaning the face, preferably with a makeup remover, we can start to play with the white pencil drawing that we have chosen. The white pencil will be easier to remove than black and not make a mess in the case of corrections.

If you want a little manual or simply to take the first, you can print and cut out one of the designs you find below, and play along the edges.

It is therefore necessary that the picture occupies the entire face, but rather that it maintains the proportions.

Once we are happy with what we have done, using the black pencil, with a sudden strong and determined, and disclose it outlines the basic design of the mask.

Then, wetting the sponge first and passing it on waffles color, Then inside of the lines marked with a pencil, go to color patterned our design.

All done ? Tigrotto and gattino.. we are ready to quit !
