Training at MUD

Training with the best, I went to the Makeup Designory in LA, California.  They have the best SPFX classes whether you want to take the Chatacter portion only or you want to take the full course.  

The picture to the right is when I was learning Character FX at MUD in LA, California.  Juliet Loveland and Paige a fellow makeup artist applied around 15 prosthetics and bald cap on my face.  

This class has ignited my interested for FX makeup.  

Since MUD I have created my own FX portfolio as you can see all of my work on my blog spot.  Trust me there is so much more to come.   

Your tuffy head is your friend

When practicing hair or even floating hair the best tool to use is your tuffy head.  This is how a lot of mustaches and beards are made before hand then they are floated of the dummy to use on a film, T.V., or a character.  

Become friends with the Tuffy Head, at times it is frustrating because you want to bond with the tuffy.  Just take it with a grain of salt the tuffy wont talk back so you can stab the tuffy head with your comb all you want.

Welcome to the world of FX

Welcome to my new blog spot! I want to keep two sides of my makeup separate. Why you may ask? This allows me to help you, the viewer distinguish and also appreciate both sides of the spectrum. This also helps me not get categorized as just an FX or just a High Fashion Makeup artist. My dream is to be as versatile as possible. Keeping a large range whether it be my FX work or my editorial/high fashion looks. Hope you enjoy the new blog.

Stay on top,
