Dead makeup.

 This my my dead make up I did in my sfx class on the second week.
This makeup is based on what you would do if you were on a TV or film set doing a makeup for a dead person. The idea is to eliminate any redness from the face as that what gives it the 'alive' look. Also, with a dead body all the blood settles with gravity so the veins and capillaries would not be sticking out of the face or even be visible on the surface unless the dead body had been lying on the face for a long period of time.
This was my first attempt at the makeup. Overall, I think I could have done this make up a lot better. To make it better for photographic reasons would be to take the dead body look onto the neck and ears. As you can see my client has very pink ears which is very 'lively'.  

Whilst doing the makeup we were told not to blend it as it isn't a pretty fashion makeup and I struggled not to do that, especiall on the eyes. This made a massive impact on the overall makeup and I would definatey try and change this on my next attempt.
Looking back on the photos I can see that there is still a bit of red in her face. Next time I will have to use more green to counteract the red in her face.
One of the things I am mildly happy with, is the lips. These give the 'dead' effect with how blue they are. I did this by using green on them and then going over the top with a blue.
To improve next time I think I need to use more green on the face so I can get a better coverage ontop without red coming through and to work on my brush strokes.
