Day 4

 Content warning: fake gore 

Today was the last day of the first week of the SFX makeup term! In the morning, we started by building on and creating more advanced looks from the skills that the amazing Sophia O’Heron taught us yesterday afternoon. Each person created their own unique gore makeup design with an intention and a story behind their look. We used tools such as scar wax, liquid latex, and more to execute our makeup

. 



In the afternoon, we moved from gore-based looks to fantasy-based makeup. We had interesting looks such as a porcelain doll, zombie, ghost, Frankenstein's monster, fairy, vampire, celestial being, video game character and cheetah. 

     

While doing our makeup, we enjoyed watching episodes of Star Trek to pass the time. We had a lot of fun this day and make sure to tune in again to our blog next week!
