Beauty makeup
You may have already guessed that this
website is not really aimed at people interested in beauty makeup. It
is a big part of the makeup artists work and I do it often but on this
website I have decided to focus more on the special effects side of the
profession. Beauty makeup is something very individual and I suffer
from the weakness (as a makeup artist) that I think that the woman's
face looks the best without any makeup at all. So when I do beauty
makeup's it tends to always look very natural. Sometimes I get to do
fantasy makeup's that I think is both beautiful and aesthetic. "The
Libidella" from Aniara to the right is a good example of one of those.

An interesting part of beauty
makeups is to do classical makeups. These are quite often very
exaggerated and stylized. This is of course fun to do but can also
be quite challenging. You will have to do a lot of research to find
out how the makeups were really done in the past. In the past many
toxic chemicals like lead were used as makeup. This killed people so
today we use safe alternatives.
