Ellis Faas- A family affair
The youtube clip of some of Ellis Faas,'s work i found reallyinteresting particularly the way she applied to makeup to the face. I really liked how the texture on the face looks like paint onto a canvas and the bold colours applied to the face are bold and really overexaggerated. The linework on some of her final looks are very sharp and edgy.
The overall message of Ellis Faas's work in the clip 'A family affair' is people showing there true colours.
Ellis Faas- identity revealed
Ellis explains her overall approach on her vairety of looks used in the clip' identity revealed' which i found really interestingEllis Faas. (/2014). identity revealed . Available: http://vimeo.com/109956784. Last accessed 25/10/2014.
."Since ancient times, humans have been using masks - in order to express power and authority; to feel self-confident; to stand out or to hide behind; to not be recognised and disappear into the masses. Not only by traditional masks, but also by disguising and ornamental elements such as clothing, jewellery, hair and makeup. But can one truly change one's identity, or is it merely a temporary transformation? And who or what defines someone's true identity? Is it the mask, is it the human being behind the mask, or maybe even the creator of the mask?"
In the video clip it is recognisable that the point Ellis is trying to get across is what is true identity. In the video clip Ellis's final looks are seen wearing masks or makeup applied in a certain way in order to become unrecognisable, during the video the models are seen taking off the masks and makeup and revealing their true identiy.

I really like how ellis has blended the red makeup into the white to almost act as a shadow in order to darken majority of the face and make the lips the main focus of the look.

I found the Ellis's application in this image really interesting the layering used in the image and variety of colours used on this look reminds me of an artists paint pallet .I also really like the texture Ellis has created.
I created a face chart inspired by one of Ellis Faas makeup designs, using the black and the grey from the kryolan pallet i blended the colours from light to dark on the face, in order to bring out the eyes i used a black from my supracolour pallet to outline them. In order to complete my look i finally applied a light pinkn from my kryolan lip pallet to the lips.
With my final Ellis Faas inspiration face chart i wasnt very happy with the outcome i felt the colours i applied to the face chart did not blend together well making the design look not very neat and patchy.

Kevyn Aucoin
Kevyn Aucoin- February 1962- May 7 2002
(Kevyn Aucoin photographer unkown)
(25/10/14)
Kevyn Aucoin was an american makeup artist, photographer and author. He began his career in 1983 when he arrived in New York city by bus with his portfolio, from there he was set work and had the chance to meet with vogue . He then began to work for Steven Meisel on a variety of couture shows and high end fashion shoots.
Kevyn became common in the makeup industry at the end of the 1980s he worked with many celebrities such as Cher, Janet Jackson and Gwenyth Paltrow.
'At age eleven, it was about controlling my environment. It was like ‘Let’s make pretend that everything is pretty, that everything is all right’
the quote above by Kevyn Aucoin i found very interesting , it highlights that from a young age he was always interested in makeup and considered it as his comfort zone.
In the 1990s Kevyn became generally quite successful on the business side of the makeup industry, he made his own cosmetic line called 'The Nakeds' which was a natural tone cosmetic line . Then he wrote two magazines 'face foward' and 'making faces' in 2001it was launched and sales hit the roof at $15,000 in only two hours!

I really like this overall look Kevyn has created . The pink colour contouring on the cheekbones and around the forehead works well due to the model having a light complexion and light hair. The applicqtion of the lip makeup really stand out due to Kevyn applying a bright colour and adding a slightly darker outline around the lips. the darker eye makeup around the eyes also works well due to the model having light blue eyes.

The image of the front cover of Kevyn Aucoins magazine published in 2001, i found really interesting . The magazine doesnt include a huge amount of colour, i like how hes kept the cover quite plain and not overaggerated. The overall look he's used on the face are neutral colours which can relate to 'The Nakeds' cosmetic line he launched . The overall message of the magazine title 'making faces' could be taken into consideration that when different styles colours and techniques are applied to the face particularly the features, the face changes ,by highlighting on the magazine the eyes, brows lips, nose and slightly the cheeks this can also relate to the magazine title and its message.

"Everything goes into fashion," Pat McGrath once toldVogue. "It isn't just make-up... it's film, TV, history of art, books, clubs. The culture."
The quote by Pat McGrath to vogue, i found really interesting it conveys how dedicated she is to her work.

I love the use of warm colours Pat McGrath has applied to the face and also how she has incorpated the hair into the makeup . the sleek wave down the front of the models head ties the whole look together.

This overall look really sums up Pat's ambitions. The image does not just focus on the makeup element it also focuses on the design element the costume the model is wearing. This overall look reminds me of the history of the egyptian fashion, with the uses of blues and golds. I really like the colour scheme used on this look, the work well together .

This photograph mainly focuses on the photography element. It is noticable that the hue and saturation of the image has been edited so mainly pink tones are highlighted in the image . Overall i think this works well with the hair and makeup due to the models hair and skin complexion being quite light. I really like how it is noticable that the convex areas of the face are shaded pink in order to bring them forward against the light skin complexion .

This has to be one of my favourite looks of Pat McGraths, due tot the variety of technque used, i loved how she has blend grey and black toned into the convex areas or the face in order to contrast against the white . I also love the sharp sleek linework used particularly around the eyes and slightly on the lips and the texture of the makeup around. I like how she has also thought about the costume element of this look not just the makeup, the outrageous costume design really helps the image to make its statement.

After researching into further detail about Val Garland i came across an interview on the 'vogue' website, which i found very interesting. The interview talks about vals highlights as a makeup artist which was her very first shoot in Australia and also working with John Gilliano. Her favourite elements of working as a make up aritst is shows something which involves working under pressure.

Val Garlands interview with vogue was how relaxed she seemed, if her model she was working on had poor skin she would spray water over their face to keep the model moisturised and hydrated, this portrays Val Garland and as prepared makeup artist who thinks outside the box.

I love how sleek the line work is which Val has incorporated into her work. The use of three primary colours and an additional black around the eyes is simple but really stands over. Overall i really like Val's design.

I love Vals interpretation of an analogus makeup look. I really like how powerful the colours are on the above and around the eyes this helps to bring the look alive. Also by Val Garland blanking out the eye brows and redrawing the with sleek brush stokes makes the eyes the main focuse of this look.

The magic mushroom look create by Val Garland for Mac cosmetics company is really interesting, i love the colour used on the look and the glitter like texture used on the face. When looking at the image the first things i am drawn to are the lips and the glitter situated around the face.
I love how Val has used a pale white base colour to apply to the face, this really contrasts against the lilac. Overall i really like this look as its very unique.
After doing some thorough reasearch on Val Garland, i really like her as an artist, i love how she is prepared and thinks outside the box her work is also very neat and unique looking which makes her stand out from other artists in the industy .
I created a face chart which ressembled Val Garlands work, using the orange and yellow eyeshadow from the kryolan pallet and then the orange and yellow colours from the supracolour pallet i applied colour to the eyes, using the black from the supracolour pallet i created the eyebrows and the design underneath the eyes, in order to highlight the convex areas of the face i used a summer tan colour from my glamour glow pallet and finally to complete my look i applied a bright pink from my kryolan lip pallet to the lips.
I was happy with the final outcome of my face chart i feel the orange and yellow colours applied to the eyes works well, the only thing i could perhaps have improved on was making the black supracolour
