The Royce Files

I am doing a little make-up design for a short Zombie film to be shot by a co-worker. To the left is one of the tests I worked up with latex, tissue, bloody scab, clown white, and green, blue, and black creams. Probably could use a little more white. I am pretty impressed with my design. I might work in a zombie in one of my next films. Want to be a make up model?

Our envisioning of Blue Man Group. We only had about an hour to get ready so we were not picture perfect to say the least. I was surprised that the bald cap took the make up so well. I had more time I would have done the bald cap properly with spirit gum and latex. I only got it a little. As the night progressed the blue began to dissipate and wear off. We won no prizes. In fact some did not know who we were portraying. I guess we need PVC instruments. Getting the make-up off was a task in itself but having cold cream made it a little easier. I might do this again someday but probably not any time soon.

I admit, I like putting on make up. Ever since my early days in the theatre I have enjoyed painting the face to make a character. I did a really mean old age application a number of times. I am not sure I am ready to go pro yet but there always is the yearning.
