Please I'm not putting anyone down or calling them liars...PP is standard procedure today.

I don't know about what you have seen in the past...I am only talking about those particular movies.

All makeup is fake...lol... much of your Youtube move is photoshoped...I've done it for years...I could cut shots and post the mistakes...how they did it… where they messed up. There is nothing wrong with doing it...Every single glamour photo is enhanced today before published.

Some of the movie is real… but a good part is not… all has been enhanced.

Lip gloss and color has been digitally added and enhanced… all skin has been dodged and burned…lashes have been added…on and on.

Status: offline 		alot of the make-up artists that do the fantasy looks, use airbrushes, it allows a much smother application. The last time I had mine done for a special event that is what they used. You might want to contact a local theater group or such, thats how I found someone to do mine the last time.

Status: offline 		Hi there! Thanks for the vote of confidence, puella!  :) I am a makeup junkie, that's for sure.  I am still a novice though and have never worked professionally in the MUA field except for a short stint in the late 80's for Lancome.  I am working on expanding my current cosmetic collection to include some better foundations for photography purposes as well as more highly pigmented colors for dramatic looks.  As it stands I have just a few MAC pigments but they are pretty incredible. When it comes to the youtube videos, a great many of those images are post-processed which is the norm in the modeling/photography industry.  Genuinely flawless skin is a rarity and post processing can help to correct that as well as correcing color balance, hue, brightness, etc. There are some who can apply makeup (and make it look completely realistic) with photoshop alone.  It is a difficult thing to do but possible if you have crazy-uber-good photoshop skills.  I'm not quite there yet lol. Below is a link to a few examples of what I've done.  Some photos are post-processed, others are not.  A few are even just webcam shots.  I use this page as a sort of amateur portfolio when people are interested in having their makeup done (or photographs) http://www.moonspheres.com/makeupart/ Are you looking to have makeup done for an event or for photography purposes?  Or are you looking to learn the application itself?   Well wishes! Cav's ally

         Ben Nye makes very good stuff.  Don't try to skip the setting powder.  You can download the catalog from the website.

Status: offline 		Awww shanks!!!  Trust me, the makeup helps a LOT!!!! As for where to find the cosmetics, Ben Nye is good but there really are some Walgreens type cosmetics that are quite good.  There is one wet n wild pencil that nearly every professional MUA I've ever spoken to keeps in their kit.   Brands I recommend for high pigments are:  Smashbox (they make excellent primer too), MAC, Lorac, and believe it or not, L'Oreal's HIP line. As for foundations for photography, I recommend RCMA and Cinema Secrets for photographic purposes.  I use L'Oreal True Match foundation for nearly all of the photos but I do use a green-based primer and apply my foundation with a brush.  Sponges soak up too much product and fingertips are good but don't get the coverage that a good foundation brush will give you. Hope this helps! -Cav's ally
