1                                                                           Rec

Rec is a Spanish movie about a group of people who are trapped in an apartment building, where a virus, thought to be of a demonic possession, spreads quickly infected those who are bitten. David Ambit was one of the special effects makeup artists in all three rec films, where he has done a fantastic job of making everything look so real. I particularly like this makeup as its is very gory. The woman in the picture was the first woman to have the virus in the first movie.

2                                                                       Ugly Betty 

Ugly Betty is one of my all time favourite tv shows. I especially like the makeup in this show as the actress America Ferrera, has been given a major makeover to look like Betty Suarez, the smart sweet and hard working woman. I like the way they have given Betty braces,Freckles and big eyebrows, to give the effect that she doesn't care about her apperance. Kate Best was one of the makeup artists on the show, who done a fantastic 85 episodes between 2006 and 2010, when the show ended.

3                                                                   Vampire Diaries

The makeup in this show makes all the Vampires look flawless. They all have flawless skin and beautiful eyes. Even at there worst, when they are feeding on a victim or in a fight, they still look beautiful. There is also quite a lot of Special effects makeup involved in this show ,such as the wounds on the vampires victims, as well as the werewolf bites. Essie Cha is the head Makeup artists who has been involved in 36 episodes from 2010-2012.

4                                                              Alice in Wonderland 

The makeup in this film was done by many different artists. I particularly like the Mad Hatter makeup because its bright and really stands out from the rest. The makeup in this film is very in your face and big, which i think makes it quite interesting.

5                                                                      The Grinch 

The Grinch is my all time favourite Christmas movie, I love the way they have created the turned up noses and how they have completely transformed Jim Carey into this creature.You can't even tell it's him! There were many makeup artists involved in this movie and amongst them was Lance Anderson, who recently done the special effects makeup in Cabin in the woods. 

My time at College

When I signed up for this course, I didn't really think about what would be involved in the course and I never really had any expectations, as I applied very late. When choosing this course, it wasn't because I wanted to do it as a career, it was because I enjoy doing it as a hobby.I had never really thought about having it as a job because I never expected that it could happen. Now that i've started the course, my opinon has changed and I now realise that if it's something I want to do I need to work hard.

Since starting the Media Make-up course, my opinion on make-up has changed. When I thought about Make-up, I never really thought about the SFX side to it. I always thought of it as making people look pretty. I have really enjoyed this course so far, especially the SFX part, which I wasn't expecting. I think WCS is a fantastic College and I am really enjoying my time here.
So far I have had a few funny moments in all my classes, but the best has got to be when Donald put us into groups and gave us topics to research.He gave my group the topic of Folic Acid, which was interesting...
The most interesting thing I have learned to do so far is probably how to do cuts and wounds.

I really like the work of Beverly Jo Pryor, who has done the make-up of some of the Vampire Diaries cast, such as Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley. She has also done the Make-up of stars such as Will Smith and Orpah Winfrey. Pryor has been a Make-up for around 30 years and her big break came when she was hired by MAC Cosmetics. She started off in TV shows such as "Family Matters" and "Keenan and Kel", eventually moving up to films, doing work on "Big Momma's House" and a few others. Her recent work has been shown on the likes of "Ugly Betty" and "Vampire Diaries"

After spending the last Month at WCS, I have Realised that I would really like to persue a career in the Make-up industry.

Beautylish

Beautylish is an app on all things beauty for Android and the Iphone, which is free to download. It's easy to download and you can sign in using Facebook or Google. When signing up for this, you need to create a profile, giving your eye colour, complextion etc. Once I signed up, I linked the app with my Google account, which makes it really easy to sign in, as you don't need to enter a password or email address when going on to the app.

This app offers a variety of things to see and explore. This app has many features including; photos, editorial,reviews,videos,discussions as well as shopping.
  You can buy a variety of products such as foundations and concealers from different brands. The only downside to this amazing feature is that all the prices are in Dollars($).

I particularly like the photo section, as it shows lots of looks from Halloween to everyday looks, as well as nail art and smokey eyes. With Halloween coming soon, I have found this very helpful for ideas and tips.

I think this app is very useful for all things beauty,and I would recommend anyone interested in make-up to have a look.
