FROZEN MAKEUP

This look I found on a DIY film making site called Indy Mogul. The look consist of white cream makeup, blue eye shadow, purple eyeliner, black cake makeup, liquid latex, salt, and shaving cream. A thin layer of white goes on first to make the face seem pale and drained of blood; then the blue, black, and purple create bruising affects and also to make the flesh appear cold and almost lifeless. The final effect is to use liquid latex to stick salt crystals on the cheeks and forehead to give the illusion of ice crystals, then put streaks of shaving cream in the hair to look like frost. It is a very simple and easy look, but effective. Though most of the fx makeup I have done so far is horror fx, like gashes and scars, a frozen look can be used for a number of scenes. It can be used for a survival movie, horror movie, or even a romantic movie (like The Titanic).
