As part of our introduction to Film's Cool, BAFTA Award winning make-up artist Christine Blundell (of Christine Blundell's Makeup Academy for TV and Film) who has worked with the likes of Daniel Craig, Robert Downey Jnr came into to share some wise words of advice and give us a few tutorials to show us how to create effective horror make-up.
Although Christine has access to some of the most expensive and best equipment in the industry, we are working on a smaller budget for our trailers which means we will have limited amounts of money to spend on hair and make up However, Christine showed us that you don't need tonnes of money to create realistic and dramatic horror make up and all the products used by the professionals can be created at home using normal products from the supermarket. For example food colouring and golden syrup can be mixed together to make great fake blood, or using blue or yellow food colouring and a dark eye shadow can be used to highlight and contour certain areas of the face to make them look bruised or darkened.
Below are some of the pictures from our groups experimentation with our own home made horror make up.
