Backstage

During the realization of a video presentation “Virtual Promoter”, taken care of by the Keep In Touch of Mantua for the fair Ecomondo Rimini, I was commissioned to create makeup and special effects on Violet, to give her a look that recalls the character of Star Trek “Seven of Nine”.

Violet, who starred several scenes in front of the camera, had to have a look cybernetic, with a sort of neural interface on the eyebrow, to attract the attention of visitors to the stand Tetra Pak presenting a futuristic look.

The Making of make-up
Before you start to make up your face I was in charge of coverage of the eyebrow, of which had to be installed interface. After combing the hair of the eyebrow and standardized, I applied a piece of shell cap mat then faded.
At this point I created a nice trick beauty uniform over the entire face, paying attention to the chiaroscuro.
Finally I applied and colored prosthetic part, previously made of latex and cold foam, for optimum mobility on the face.

Here are some shots for a photo shoot with Daniel Mora.

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.

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.
