my make up course 4 dis semester

Hari ini kami telah mempelajari bagaimana ingin melakukan make up darah. saya telah memilih untuk melakukan luka di bahagian tangan saya. Ianya kelihatan seperti luka kemalangan dengan menggunakan sirap, tepung jagung, sedikit nescafe dan madu.






Hari ini saya ingin melaporkan tentang segala yang telah saya lakukan pada semester ini untuk subjek make up. Pada 17, 18 dan 19 April 2011 saya telah mengikuti kumpulan 6 untuk membuat pengambaran filem pendek bagi pelajar skrin. Kami diminta untuk melakukan make up pada tahun ini memandangkan criss cross telah kembali diadakan selepas perlantikan dekan baru pada awal semester ini. Melalui pengalaman saya melakukan make up kepada 3 orang pelakon yang sudah terkenal iaitu Juhara Ayob, Nam Ron dan Rosdeen Suboh.

corrective make up...

The primary goal of corrective make-up is to accent a person's best features while minimizing a person's unflattering features or flaws. This can be a very touchy matter, because the make-up artist has to scrutinize a person's features and tell the client what parts of her body and face need touching up. This consultation can result in hurt feelings if not done with tact and compassion.
There are a few basic rules to remember when applying make-up. The first rule is to remember that highlighting an area emphasizes a feature. Shadowing an are minimizes it. Highlighting uses colors that are a shade or more lighter than a person's natural skin tone, while shadowing uses darker shades. Another rule is that the ideal face should be oval shaped, approximately three-fourths wide as it is long. The distance between the eyes should equal the width of one eye. These rules, like any rules, can be altered or even broken, depending on what result is desired in the end.
Face shape is always the first consideration. There are seven face shapes: oval, round, squared, pear-shaped (wide-jawed), heart-shaped (wide forehead, narrow jaw), diamond-shaped (wide cheekbones), and oblong (a long and narrow face). The goal is to make the face as oval and as proportionate as possible. Corrective make-up takes the face shapes into consideration and uses highlighting and shadowing to add width where it is needed, or to conceal excess width.
For instance, let's look at the round shaped face. The objective is to slenderize the face, which can be done by applying darker foundation on the sides of the face, thus shadowing excess width and creating the illusion of extra length. For a square shaped face, color selection is important because you want to soften the hard lines. If you've ever heard someone say, "She's a hard looking woman", they usually are referring to someone with a squared face.
Pear-shaped faces are characterized by a wide jaw and narrow forehead. The goal is to create width at the forehead, using highlighting, and to slenderize the jaw by shadowing. Oblong faces need width the most, so lighter colors are used. The same highlighting and shadowing principles apply to every other face shape. Lights and darks are used to make the face appear oval.
There are special corrective techniques to deal with specific problems, like wrinkles, double-chins, and off-set eyes. To fix these problems, make sure you have the essential products, such as concealer, foundation, powder, eye color, lip color, etc. Color selection should be based on the person's skin tone, eye color, and hair color. Remember that you are an artist and the make-up is your palette. Have different shades of foundation and shadow on hand because these will be the tools you need to perform corrective make up.

MAKE UP..


BEAUTY MAKE UP



STAGE MAKE UP..

Through the use of makeup, specifically highlighting and shading, the apparent shape of an actor’s face can be changed. By highlighting the face's protruding bones, the features become pronounced; shadowing cavities can add depth. Sagging jowls, forehead wrinkles, eye pouches, and prominent veins can be created by manipulating highlights and shadows. A highlight is a base makeup that is at least two shades lighter than the base. It is applied on the bridge of the nose, cheekbones, and areas under the eyes and below the brows. Using a color two shades deeper than the base provides depth and definition. This depth is commonly used on the eye sockets, to thin the sides of the nose, to shallow the cheeks, and to minimize heaviness under the chin.

Make up and lighting..

Pencahayaan adalah sangat penting menghidupkan mood dan emosi dalam sesuatu situasi dan ia memberikan kesan juga pada teknik solekan.

Lighting controls makeup to a high degree. Makeup can lose its effectiveness due to incorrect stage lighting. Conversely, skillful lighting can greatly aid the art of makeup. Close communication between the lighting director and the makeup artist is crucial for the best possible effectUnderstanding light's effect on makeup and various shades and pigments is important when designing a performer’s makeup. The following are among the basic rules of light: nothing has color until light is reflected from it; an object appears black when all of the light is absorbed; an object appears white when all of the light is reflected. If certain rays are absorbed and others are reflected, the reflected rays determine the color

Light's effect on makeup
§  Pink tends to gray the cool colors and intensify the warm ones. Yellow becomes more orange.
§  Flesh pink flatters most makeup.
§  Fire red ruins makeup. All but the darker flesh tones virtually disappear. Light and medium rouge fade into the foundation, whereas the dark red rouges turn a reddish brown. Yellow becomes orange, and the cool shading colors become shades of gray and black.
§  Bastard amber is flattering because it picks up the warm pinks and flesh tones in the makeup.
§  Amber and orange intensify and yellow most flesh colors. They turn rouges more orange. Cool colors are grayed.
§  Green grays all flesh tones and rouges in proportion to its intensity. Green will be intensified. Yellow and blue will become greener.
§  Light blue-green lowers the intensity of the base colors. One should generally use very little rouge under this type of light.
§  Green-blue washes out pale flesh tones, and will gray medium and deep flesh tones, as well as all reds.
§  Blues gray most flesh tones and cause them to appear more red or purple.
§  Violet causes orange, flame, and scarlet to become redder. Rouge appears more intense.
§  Purple affects makeup like violet lighting, except reds and oranges will be even more intense, and most blues will look violet.


Straight make up!
Straight makeup is a style of makeup that provides a natural, clean and healthy glow

Skin

If a performer’s skin is perfectly toned, makeup spreads smoothly and adheres easily. Dry skin or oily skin is dealt with prior to makeup application; otherwise, the makeup appears blotchy or smeared due to variations in absorption. Performers with dry skin use a moisturizer daily and after their faces have been cleansed following a performance. Performers with oily complexions use a facial toner wipe or astringent to remove the oil and allow a smooth application.
Skin has four basic tones: brown, fair, pink and olive. Individuals with fair, pink, and olive skin tones use olive, beige, or suntan bases. Makeup artist and performers select shades compatible with the natural skin tone, but the base is one to several shades deeper. Performers with predominately pink or ruddy complexions use base colors with cool undertones. The character, size of the theatre, and light intensity will determine the tone depth of the foundation
A thin layer of base makeup is applied to the neck, ears, and face using a white rubber sponge or fingers. A heavy application of base appears aged and creepy

Rouge
Fair complexions are enhanced by soft shades of peach and pink, while brown complexions are best accented with coral shades. Moist rouge is applied before powder; dry rouge is used to accent the already powdered makeup.


Eyes
Eyes and eyebrows are the greatest communicative tool in an actor’s arsenal. They are the most expressive feature on the face

Eye shadow
Grease or stick shadow is applied to the eyelids and blended out toward the eyebrow bone before powder is applied; dry eye shadow is used alone or to intensify and touch up the color underneath. Dark eye shadow or grease deepens the eye sockets, creating a skull-like effect. Shades of brown and gray are best for individuals with fair complexions. Individuals with brown complexions use lighter shadows such as toast, mushroom or soft yellows


Eye liner
Liquid eyeliner, cake eyeliner, or the eyebrow pencil is used to accent and frame the eyes. There are two ways to line the upper lid of the eye: the owl eye or the almond eye. The owl eye is used to widen the eye and involves using a heavier line in the middle of the lid. The almond-shaped eye is created by extending the line out beyond the outer corner of the eye. The lower line is created by using the same tool used on the upper lid. The line begins a quarter-inch from the inner corner of the eye. This extra space is needed to open the eye.

Eyelash
Mascara is used to add extra attention to the eyes. Black lack mascara is the most popular and commonly used by women with fair and brown complexions. Very fair individuals and men use brown mascara. The bottom lashes are coated with mascara and to avoid using false lashes, a process of layering powder and mascara is used to provide greater thickness.

Powder
A generous amount of powder is needed to reduce unwanted shine. If a performer’s makeup is under-powdered, his skin oils will break through quickly, producing shine and possibly running. After powder is applied to the entire face, starting under and around the eyes, it is gently pressed for thirty seconds. The excess is brushed off with a large soft brush or piece of cotton. A wet natural sponge or cotton is wiped lightly across the face to set the makeup, to remove any visible powder, and to eliminate the masky feeling. Translucent powders are used for fair complexions because they do not alter the original color of the base, the under-rouge, or the moist eye shadow. Brown complexions are set with tinted that is compatible with the base color. It is used sparingly over the under-rouge and moist eye shadow. After the powder is applied, dry eye shadow and dry rouge are added.


lips..
Though the eyes are the most expressive feature of the face, the eyes and ears of the audience follow mouth movements to understand a play’s progression. If a performer’s lips are underdone or overplayed, they will detract from the performer and the performance. A general rule is: the larger the mouth, the deeper the lipstick tone. However, the actor should not appear “all mouth".
Fair complexions use shades of lipstick like pink and coral. Brown complexions are enhanced by coral and orange shades. Red lipsticks are reserved for large theatres and character portrayals. An auburn or brown pencil are used to provide definition to the lips. Lipsticks on men can look doll-like. Men use natural-colored lipsticks, lightly applied.

it's all about make up...

History of make up..

The first archaeological evidence of cosmetics usage is found in Ancient Egypt in the year 4000 BC.The Ancient Greeks and Romans also used cosmetics. The Romans and Ancient Egyptians, not realizing their dangerous properties, used cosmetics containing mercury and white leadFragrances, particularly frankincense and myth are mentioned in the Christian Bible: Exodus30: 34, Gospel of Matthew 2:11. Ancient Egyptians had a wide extent of make-up utensils. One of them is kohl, which was used to outline the eyes. It is made up of lead, copper, burned almonds, soot, and other ingredients. It was believed that eye make-up could ward off evil spirits and improve the sight. Even the poor wore eye make-up in ancient Egypt. The production of cosmetics during ancient Rome was usually done by female slaves called Cosmetae.

In Africa, the cosmetic uses of kohl and henna have their roots in north Africa.

While in The Middle East, cosmetics were used in Persia and what is today the Middle East from ancient periods. After Arab tribes converted to Islam and conquered those areas, in some areas cosmetics were only restricted if they were to disguise the real look in order to mislead or cause uncontrolled desire. In Islamic law, there is no prohibition on wearing cosmetics, but there are requirements as stated above, and that the cosmetics must not be made of harmful substances as to harm one's body.

An early teacher was Abu al-Qssum al-Zahrawi, or Abulcasis, who wrote the 24-volume medical encyclopedia Al-Tasrif.. A chapter of the 19th volume was dedicated to cosmetics. As the treatise was translated into Latin, the cosmetic chapter was used in the West. Al-Zahrawi considered cosmetics a branch of medicine, which he called "Medicine of Beauty" (Adwiyat al-Zinah). He deals with perfumes, scented aromatics and incense. There were perfumed stocks rolled and pressed in special moulds, perhaps the earliest antecedents of present-daylipsticks and solid deodorants. He also used oily substances called Adhan for medication and beautification.

Chinese people began to stain their fingernails with gum arabicgelatinbeeswax and egg from around 3000 BCE. The colors used represented social class: Chou dynasty royals wore gold and silver; later royals wore black or red. The lower classes were forbidden to wear bright colors on their nails.

In Japan, geisha wore lipstick made of crushed safflower petals to paint the eyebrows and edges of the eyes as well as the lips, and sticks ofbintsuke wax, a softer version of the sumo wrestlers' hair wax, were used by geisha as a makeup base. Rice powder colors the face andback; rouge contours the eye socket and defines the nose. Ohaguro (black paint) colours the teeth for the ceremony, called Erikae, whenmaiko (apprentice geisha) graduate and become independent. The geisha would also sometimes use bird droppings to compile a lighter color.

In the Middle Ages it was thought sinful and immoral to wear makeup by Church leaders, but many women still adopted the fad. From the Renaissance up until the 20th century the lower classes had to work outside, in agricultural jobs and the typically light-colored European's skin was darkened by exposure to the sun. The higher a person was in status, the more leisure time he or she had to spend indoors, which kept their skin pale. Thus, the highest class of European society were pale resulting in European men and mostly women attempting to lighten their skin directly, or using white powder on their skin to look more aristocratic. A variety of products were used, including white lead paint which also may have contained arsenic, which also poisoned women and killed many. Queen Elizabeth I of Englandwas one well-known user of white lead, with which she created a look known as "the Mask of Youth". Portraits of the queen by Nicholas Hilliard from later in her reign are illustrative of her influential style.

Pale faces were a trend during the European Middle Ages. 6th century women would bleed themselves to achieve pale skin. Spanish prostitutes wore pink makeup to contract pale skin. 13th century Italian women wore red lipstick to show that they were upper class.
Some Native American tribes painted their faces for ceremonial events or battle
During the early years of the 20th century, make up became fashionable in the United States of America and Europe owing to the influence ofballet and theatre stars such as Mathilde Kschessinska and Sarah Bernhardt. But the most influential new development of all was that of themovie industry in Hollywood. Among those who saw the opportunity for mass-market cosmetics were Max Factor, Sr.Elizabeth Arden, and Helena Rubinstein. Modern synthetic hair dye was invented in 1907 by Eugene Schueller, founder of L'Oréal. He also invented sunscreen in 1936.

Flapper style influenced the cosmetics of the 1920s, which embraced dark eyes, red lipstick, red nail polish, and the suntan, invented as a fashion statement by Coco Chanel. Previously, suntans had only been sported by agricultural workers, while fashionable women kept their skins as pale as possible. In the wake of Chanel's adoption of the suntan, dozens of new fake tan products were produced to help both men and women achieve the "sun-kissed" look. In Asia, skin whitening continued to represent the ideal of beauty, as it does to this day. During the 1960s and 1970s, many women in the western world influenced by feminism decided to go without any cosmetics. The anti-cosmetics movement was an outgrowth of this; feminists in this movement object to cosmetics' role in the second-class status of women, making them mere sex-objects who must waste time with cosmetics. Cosmetics in the 1970s were divided into a "natural look" for day and a more sexualized image for evening.

In the 1970s, at least 5 companies started creating makeup for African American females. Before the 1970s, makeup shades for Black females were limited. Face makeup and lipstick did not work for dark skin types because they were created for pale skin tones. These cosmetics that were created for pale skin tones only made dark skin more gray. Eventually, makeup companies created makeup that worked for richer skin tones, such as foundations and powders that provided a natural match. Popular companies like Astarté, Afram, Libra, Flori Roberts and Fashion Fair priced the cosmetics at reasonable prices. Due to the fact that they wanted to reach out to the masses.

Modern developments in technology, such as the High shear mixer have facilitated the production of cosmetics which are more natural looking and have greater staying power in wear than their predecessors.

Cosmetic deodorant was invented in 1888, by an unknown inventor from Philadelphia, and was trademarked under the nameMumm. Roll-on deodorant was launched in 1952, and aerosol deodorant in 1965.
