jordanhanz. “DIY Gory Masquerade Mask Halloween Makeup Tutorial.” YouTube, YouTube, 11 Oct. 2016, www.youtube.com/watch?v=MONvglUc3qA

This source is a video, and is actually an inspiration for one of the looks I will be doing for my portfolio. Jordan hanz, a special effects makeup artist, is the person who originally came up with the idea for this look, using a masquerade mask. I looked at some of the techniques she used for painting, sculpting, and doing makeup. Also she leaves a comment on her video about what materials she uses to accomplish each look, and also links the website she uses to buy those materials, which is useful to help provide me with the tools I need to accomplish what I want to do for my capstone.

jordanhanz. “Love Sick Evil Mermaid Makeup Special FX Tutorial.” YouTube, YouTube, 10 May 2016, www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea8sx1OAifc.

This is another inspiration for one of the looks I will be doing for my capstone. This video is a sick mermaid look. She uses blue paint as a base. She uses model magic clay to make the different textures. She uses different techniques such as contouring as well as what she does for sculpting, learning from her work and being self taught is the best thing for me so that’s why I really think this source is reliable. I also take into consideration what she uses to accomplish this specific look. I’m using her work as reference, but some advice she had given about how you can use reference pictures or videos, but I would have to consider my own body and my own features as I’m doing each look.  

jordanhanz. “Heaven and Hell Angel Halloween Makeup Tutorial | Jordan Hanz / Kristen Leanne.” YouTube, YouTube, 22 Oct. 2015, www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVzweoMpqW4.

Jordan Hanz did this tutorial, she did an amazing job of showing each of the steps as for how she did this angel look. She did an angel and devil collab with another makeup artist, Kristen Leanne. She does her version of a look, but then she encourages other people to create their own style with a similar look. That is a part of my inquiry is how can I make my own style and make my own look while using someone else’s work for reference. I will be using mainly her work for reference, however I do want to develop my own work, as well as my own style of art.

jordanhanz. “Pop Art Demon Halloween Makeup Tutorial w/ RawBeautyKristi.” YouTube, YouTube, 3 Oct. 2016, www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsJeLSB6cWo.

For this video, Jordan Hanz does a demon look. This was also a collab with another makeup artist as well, with Raw beauty Kristi. They each made their own different versions of one similar look, put their own twist into it. In the beginning of the video Jordan Hanz shows both of their versions of their own looks. Seeing them side by side shows how different they can be, the differences in their styles of artwork they both achieve. This gives me a general idea for what I might want to do, I want to make a look using my own methods and make it custom to my body.

jordanhanz. “Unattainable Woman | Jordan Hanz.” YouTube, YouTube, 11 Sept. 2015, www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubcOx1JfLto.

This video is really based on what it’s like being a woman in our society, Jordan hanz uses a lot of the words that are really known to describe women within our culture, and she wrote it on her body. She was very creative, I want to do something similar, only really with makeup, and what people’s points of views are on it. Therefore is why i want to do a survey so that I can use the words from the survey for this specific look for the capstone project. I’m thinking about making this one into a video because I think that will bring out a more powerful message.

NikkieTutorials. “The Power of MAKEUP!” YouTube, YouTube, 10 May 2015, www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4Ov8qvZ2_w.

Nikkietutorials is another makeup artist i know of, she has been a makeup artist on youtube for around nine to ten years. I’ve watched so many of her videos in the past where she has done multiple different kinds of makeup looks. One of the videos I would like to do is called,”The power of makeup.” Where only half of the face has makeup, and the other half doesn’t. I saw this video of doing the power of makeup, which inspired me to do it as well as a part of my capstone project. It really shows how much makeup can really do, and shows a powerful message.

Renée, V. “Learn Some Horror Makeup Techniques from Oscar-Winning SFX Makeup Artist Rick Baker.” No Film School, 30 Oct. 2014, nofilmschool.com/2014/02/horror-makeup-techniques-from-oscar-winning-sfx-makeup-artist-rick-baker.

This source mainly talks about a special effects makeup artist, Rick Baker. It explains what he does in his work. At first I didn’t really think i could trust this source, but then I saw that there was a video, showing the process of making a prosthetic on a face. It shows the process, and what material and tools he uses. This source also explains if a person wants to be self taught, how they would learn that way. I think the part about being self taught was the most important part for me because the looks for the capstone project, are basically gonna be self taught. So I think it gave good advice by watching other people’s work, see their different styles, and create one of my own.

theepatrickstarrr. “THE POWER OF MAKEUP | PatrickStarrr.” YouTube, PArtick Star, 31 Aug. 2015, www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiq3M5d5T_A.

Patrick star is another makeup artist. As I was watching this video, it was interesting to see his transformation, and the different steps he took to get to the final look, as well as all of the techniques he uses. There are other videos by patrick star I have watched where he has talked about his journey with makeup, and how his career ended up becoming a makeup artist on Youtube. Which also inspired me to want to become a makeup artist in the future. Also made me think about how I would want to do something different and unique for my capstone.  

Vinther, Janus . Special Effects Makeup . Drama of Nygade, 2002.

This is a special effects makeup book explains how it is used in movies and how makeup can make the movies looks so real. Another thing about this source is that it talked about some of the history behind special effects makeup art. She uses different movies as examples for the history, “like 1895 the execution of queen mary when the special effects artist make it seem like her head was getting chopped off.” It’s good to know how makeup art began and the history of it. It also talks about working with different materials, like wax, and what it can be used for, like making artificial wounds. I also explains how to create different effects with the skin, making bruises or making it look like cuts on the skin.

“What Does a Special Effects Makeup Artist Do? A Conversation with Christien Tinsley.” CreativeFuture, 5 Oct. 2017, creativefuture.org/special-effects-makeup-artist-conversation-christien-tinsley/.

When I first looked at this source, I was a little hesitant on whether or not this was a reliable source. But I decided to look more into it, and then I saw that it was an interview. Interviewer, Gregg Lagambina was interviewing a makeup artist, Christien Tinsley. They talked about a lot of her interests that lead her to becoming a special effects makeup artist. They also talked about the schooling process of getting where she wanted to be in her career, as well as making a portfolio and getting the tools and materials she needed in order to complete her portfolio and get into a career she wanted to be in. She also does happen to talk about Rick baker, and how she worked with him on the set of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” This source is helpful for me because hearing from another makeup artist, and listening to the process of how she became a makeup artist. What she had to do to become very successful in her career.
