Vampire Halloween Makeup - Preparation for Makeup

Transcripts

<p>Roger Bennett Riggle: My name is Roger Bennett Riggle, and today we are doing a vampire transformation. In preparation for the transformation, there are a few things we have to consider. One is I am going to sanitize my hands with alcohol which I always like to do before I work on the model. Two, I want to wipe the models face down with witch hazel and a cotton pad and then depending on your model, you want to be able to be fix the hair up and away from the make-up transformation and dont forget that we are going to put a widows peak on our vampire transformation so I really need the hair up and out of the way. We are also going to spray the hair black.</p><p>So I am going to take the alcohol and what I do, in a squeeze bottle is just squeeze that a little bit on my hands and I rub it very well all over my fingers to disinfect my hands. Now I am going to take the witch hazel and a cotton pad, this is also in a squeeze bottle and I am just going to saturate that cotton pad. And what I do here on the model, and this is Joshua Dubois, is to just really clean his face with the witch hazel which is a natural astringent and it also helps to close up some of the smaller pores on the skin. So we are not really putting make-up into those pores and I especially want to get in well around the nose where there are extra natural skin oils going on, okay.</p><p>The next thing I want to do is to get the hair up and away from the make-up and so I have to begin the design of the hair for the vampire transformation. So at this point I will take some heavy styling gel that you can get anywhere, at the drug store, CVS, Rite Aid, any popular drug store and I am going to just put this gel through Joshuas hair. I do want to use a good amount of it; I am going to pick up a little bit more. Lets see, want to make sure I get the sides. I always think of the vampires being very, very debonair and slick.</p><p>So thats kind of the look that we want to achieve, good. Then I am going to take a thick tooth comb and I am going to comb through the hair, so I dont pull on it too hard and get that pretty much slicked back. The styling gel as it dries will help hold the hair into place and then I am going to take a brush and try and just get in all the little wispy hair that are sticking out. So I get a nice, clean look and you can see where the brush really starts to tighten and pull the hair back. I want it real slick around the ears. So I will take that gel and really press it into all the little tiny hair that maybe sticking out and up.</p><p>That is our preparation for the vampire transformation. Next, we will apply the prosthetics to the neck which are the vampire bites.</p>
