Unzipped Demon face Tutorial


I was looking for a crazy concept for Halloween when I stumbled upon the video of a  gentleman who did an unzipped face. I wanted to find out how he did it, but he refused to divulge his information. So I decided to put my own swing on things by adding  a little more horror to the makeup. And since I want everyone to look as pretty as I did in the final picture, I am going to tell you exactly how to do this yourself.


Items you need:
  • Stage Blood! ( I love Mehron stage blood for its extra sticky texture)
  • Liquid Latex
  • Scar wax
  • Spirit gum
  • 2colors of foundation. 1 to match your skin, another a shade darker
  • eyeliner (gel-liner is prefered)
  • Ben Nye's Vampire colour wheel. (if you have this you don't need gel-liner since it has the black shade you can use)
  • (You can also use dark red lipstick and gel liner instead of buying the color wheel!!)
  • A long metal zipper (you can always cut it if its too long)
  • Fangs
  • Contact lenses
  • Paint brush to appy liquid latex, foundation brush, spatula (or fingers ) to use with scarwax

Step 1. Make an outline of where you want the zipper to be. From the front of your forhead to the back of your ears. Keep your mouth open just a bit. Remember you want to be able to speak, when your done













Step2. Cover outline with spirit gum, then start placing metal zipper on top of spirit gum
Wait 5 minutes for it to dry pressing lightly

Step3. Place more spirit gum on edges of zipper. Then start covering area with scar wax. (this helps to blend the space from the  zipper's edge to your face.








Step4. Cover Wax with  liquid latex  using a brush and then let dry.












Step5. You are now ready to start with your foundation. Start with a darker foundation to cover your cheeks forhead and eyes. Use the lighter color to contour around the zipper area to create dept.

Step6. Outline your eyes with blackliner and darken your eyebrows.  Then smudge the edges. Remember it doesnt have to be perfect

Step 7.outline the inside of the zipper with the black shade of Ben Nye's color wheel (or use gel liner) with a brush. From tip of nose to neck








Step 8. Use Ben Nye's red color shade ( or red lipstick)  to color the rest  of the area around the lips and nose all the way down to the neck

Step 9. Add as much blood as possible.

Your now ready to put your fangs and contact lenses on!


This makeup took me about an hour and a half to complete. It might take a little longer, but take your time and you will have no problem completing this look.

Happy Halloween!

The Millionaire lifestyle clothing shoot

Sarah Gwan is a graphic designer from Toronto who specializes in print, logos and corporate branding. Now she is trying her hand at fashion designing.   I believe has succeeded in a major way. With her Kush Bubble Gum T'shirts and Millionaire Lifestyle logos she's definetly on to something. Quotes like "Business, never personal" and "Rich Bitch" give the T'shirt line for both men and women, crazy mass appeal.
When she asked Mrs Makeup to not only do makeup but,  help come up with a great concept, I jumped at the chance. So we decided we needed loads of color, toys pretty models and of course plenty of dollar bills, to pull it all off.



 Meeting up with Sarah Gwan at the Gladstone Hotel.  Courtney Nicole Photography brought her model entourage which included models Stevie Nicks, Lola Rae, Skinny Buck, Mason Fox and rapper Joel Naggy.  Strong Arm TV  cwas also their to aptured background footage.




Its one thing to think of a great concept but another to see it all come together. In the first shot, we wanted the models makeup to be loaded with color both on the face and with the clothes.  After I did the makeup, Sarah let me style the girls as well.  Sarah brought enough clothes for me to go crazy, so I choose long socks, suspenders and short shorts for all the girls.




The girls did an amazing job,but Mason and Joel also brought their personal touch of millionaire swag.


 For the second part it was yellow, gold, black and white. The models did a great job acting out the scenes.  Doesnt it look like they won the lottery?



We had a wonderful time at this shoot. Sarah Gwan did am awesome job of putting this shoot together. Thanks to all the models for following my (sometimes bossy) direction. From the looks of Courtney Nicole's  leaked pictures, the final edits will be fire

Back stage with the Miss Eternity 2011 finalists

WWW.MISSETERNITY.COM

 The name screams pageant but, with a fushion of models, designers and fashion, its a model and designer competition like no one in Toronto has done before.  For the second year in a row, models compete in the Miss Eternity Fashion Showcase for the ultimate title of Miss Eternity 2011.

Invited to be one of the makeup artist on set for the promo shoot, I got to meet all the pretty models up close and personal. Some were shy and quiet, while others displayed moments of shear Diva-tude (not mentioning any names).

MafiaPhotography was on site as the photographer for the evening. Director/Co-ordinator Temo Primrose Gare was the best hostess, not only making sure the girls were fitted with the cutest summer dressed, but also insuring we were well fed.

Certified with Peter Jackson, Naughty by Nature and Director G-dot Solo


Peter Jackson is one of Canada's fastest rising hip hop artists. If you havent heard of him yet, you will very soon!  He has worked with Sizzla, Wu Tang, Obie Trice, Llyod Banks, Ray J, Drake, Kardinal Offishall, Joe Budden, Enur, Beenie Man, and Nas  (just to name a few). 


When I found out that G-Dot Solo was directing the video for Peter Jackson new single "Certified" with  Naughty by Nature, I had to jump on board! The weather couldnt be more perfect, as we all met up in a top secret location in the outskirts of Toronto. The set was filled with industry insiders, rapper PDollaz, Bandit, Photographer Courtney Nicole, Flight school clothing, the Eh-Team Management and the guys from Me studios, were all there to show support.










And ofcourse Treach from Naughty by Nature, was there for his cameo appearance. (Still looking absolutly gorgeous)

But the real star of the show was definetly the vintage Cadillac Escalade, as she lit up the curb (yes I said SHE, because this ride was sexy!!).


Accompanied by my new assistant Keisha, we got the the girls ready for their closeup.

Taped in 4 locations over 2 days. I scored enough picture memories to last me a lifetime. But if you want to see what really happened, check out this amazing background video courtesy of Eh Team: 


Special thanks goes out to Peter Jackson and Naughty by Nature for making Mrs Makeup part of this amazing experience. And of course G-Dot Solo for hiring me .

Make sure to see Peter Jackson open up for Snoop Dogg in Barrie!!
