As The original Smurfette Celine, 9,… As a Halloween witch…
Transforming Arsène Lupin into a Japonese man
Such a transformation is not easy if one wants to look credible and not grotesque. Arsène Lupin is known as a master at disguises, therefore the challenge was delicate.
Lids appliances: D. Colladant; Application/makeup : Alain Folgoas.
Prettier than she thought she was
Wounded in a car crash, this nice young actress doubted her beauty. With just a little makeup - light, not thick - I was lucky to be able to show her that her beauty was still here…
Although not very much illustrated on this site, Beauty make-up - straight, natural, "no-makeup look", fashion or period - is about 80% of most cinema or TV make up artists job, including me, not to say 100% for some others. Unfortunately a flood ruined my stock of Beauty pictures. I'll do my best to add more as soon as possible…
At least, some beauty models
I love as well having fun doing beauty make up !…
There is nothing like Opera to offer such transformations
Compare the first picture with any of the next ones : this talented artist can play son and/or father, can't he? And that is one of the greatest pleasure in drama or operatic world.
For film or TV screens, this progressive aging technique was often used in biographies or sagas, but prosthetic appliances are preferred nowadays when budget permits.
A know-it-all Alien
This pseudo Alien, in fact a man supposed to come back from 4800 AC, had to walk amongst the discotheques audiences. The huge (2,8 l.) one piece foam latex false skull had to be invisible and applied by the magician's wife all along a long tour in the South of France.
Not easy to design, but it worked out well.
Only ONE actor = SEVEN completely different faces
For this commercial film, shot hidden camera, make ups were not allowed to show as makeups since actor Valère had to be unrecognizable amongst close colleagues and friends to trick them all. Not enough preparation time, therefore a lot of stress, yet it worked out very well.
