The art of photographic make up unit 220

What is photographic make up?

The aim of this unit is to introduce the learner to research how to create and achieve a make-up

suitable for a photographic image. They will extend their knowledge of specialist make-up

techniques, and develop their creative and innovative skills; through preparing and implementing a

mood board.

Make-up artists work with photographers, who generally have preferred styles of working. It is up to the make up artisit to adapt to the way the photographer uses lights. In general, the stronger the light, the more it bleaches out the make up

Lights

the lights in photography draw attention to any shine, so you must always use matt colours with no glitter or shine in the pigment.

Factors to consider when carrying out a photographic makeup application:

Any problems with the design must be identified as early as possible to allow modifications or to find alternative solutions

Schedule changes

Model showing up with bad skin

Model showing up late

Four hours is the average time to prepare for a fashion show.

can you think off any more factors ?

think about the skin !

Ageing of the skin

• Skin becomes dry as sebaceous and sudoriferous glands become less active

• Skin loses its elasticity; elastin fibres harden and wrinkles appear

• Epidermis grows more slowly and skin appears thinner and transparent

• Broken capillaries are evident on cheek and nose area

• Muscle tone reduces; contours become slack

• Bone structure suffers shrinkage and appears more obvious due to thinning of fatty and supportive layers

• Circulation slows down; fewer nutrients to the skin

• Decrease in metabolic rate; puffiness due to waste products not being removed as effectively

• Increased pigmentation; lentigines and chloasma

• May also have:

o sebaceous warts, skin tags

o hair growth; upper lip and chin which is dark and coarse (female clients)

o dark circles and puffiness around eyes

Sunlight- UV exposure is the major cause of pigmentation, texture changes, blood vessel changes and moles.

Smoking- is a main cause of wrinkles, especially around the mouth. It can increase the time it takes to recover from wounds, and stain the skin

Air pollution- Dust can clog pores and increase bacteria on the skin. It can interfere with your skins natural protection system, breaking down the natural oils that normally trap moisture in your skin to keep it supple.

you need to learn the effects of ageing

Mood Boards are a range of images that are put together as a visual guide by the makeup artist. It must used to reflect themes using a range of original ideas.

Avant-garde makeup can range from the bizarre to the beautiful, but it is always entertaining to see what a makeup artist will create. Because these looks are more likely to be seen on a runway or in the pages of a magazine than frequenting the city streets, there’s a certain element of fantasy that surrounds these looks

Question : What did you learn in your last session ?

Challenge Question : What did you find difficult and how could you improve ?

Portrait (editorial) and advertising

This area of fashion includes all magazine art ‘print work’ and is high profile for the makeup artist, but not as well paid as the other areas. Most makeup artists compete for editorial because it enhances their reputation and they get a tear sheet for their book. It puts them in the public eye and can lead to other opportunities.

Some fashion makeup artists have become personal makeup artists on feature films through making up leading film actors on editorial jobs. The actor will request that person (through their agent) and the film company agrees if the actor has enough clout.

Think ?

Why is editorial make up a great opportunity for a make up artist ?
