Mulain just loo-ves Captain Jack Sparrow...a.k.a Johnny Depp....

Even MU Virginia did n't escape...o'ah me hearties...
Another pirate....
A pirate in the making....yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!Mulain loved seeing all the students working with their character looks - facial today and creating theatrical pirate characters. We all pretended to be pirates in Captain Jack Sparrow's world...great fun and how into the characters everyone felt, amazing the power of make-up. We started off creating the look with a simple colour Kryolan grease palette and setting it with Ben Nye's Neutral set powder.....we broke down the skin, put in stubble, darkened the undereyes, had Jack Sparrow eyes, and created sunburn...all with the right brushes and tools and sponges but essentially just working with one palette. We then recreated the same look but imagined it for cinema and the big screen. So we swapped grease palettes for Reel / Illustrator palettes and more sophisticated products...subtle layering of make-up suited for film and not theatre....very important to know and feel the difference.
Don't have a grease palette? GET ONE.....essential for your kit for any emergency situation.. Kryolan is great! ......Don't have a Reel palette either? Save up for one...and then GET ONE.....not available in India :(...know someone travelling put the word out there, most pro make-up stores sell them...in the UK try MAP / SCREENFACE...
