Elouise Poole - Makeup Artist

  1970s Research: The 1970s was extremely diverse and makeup ranged from very natural to very intense with different subcultures including disco and punk. Natural makeup was also popular. Blush was quite natural in terms of both colour and application and creams, powders and gel formulas were used. From the mid-1970s, blush became more intense and was in stripes across the cheeks sometimes even from the temples down. A tanned look was desired which means that bronzer was used to create a sun-kissed glow (Hair and Makeup Artist Handbook, 2013). Eyebrows ranged from very skinny and over-plucked to slightly thicker, skinny eyebrows were curved similar to how they were in the 1920s and thicker eyebrows were slightly shaped with an arch, these were similar to the eyebrows in the 1950s (Hair and Makeup Artist Handbook, 2013). Eyeliner varied depending on the subculture you were part of people who wore more natural makeup often wouldn’t wear eyeliner, but others would wear it on t...

  Personal Statement My interest in special effects began when I started watching horror films and I was instantly mesmerized by how they could create realistic wounds without actually harming anyone, I then started to research this style of makeup and started to practice on myself. My main interest is prosthetics and the idea of being able to make someone look completely different, for example changing the shape of the nose using a small prosthetic or creating the appearance of deformities due to trauma using bigger prosthetics.

I would then like to use the skills I have developed to progress into the film industry as a special effects artist. Throughout my time at college I have specialised in special effects where pos...

  1960s Makeup Evaluation: Makeup Design:  This makeup is for a film about a serial killer, the character is based on Jerome Brudos who was also called the 'Lust Killer' and the 'Shoe Fetish Killer,' this makeup is based on the first victim who was beaten then strangled before having her feet removed a few days later but this is before she had her feet removed.  Makeup:  Evaluation:  This makeup works for film & TV as the makeup works under natural lighting and intense lighting and the skin was even. Alcohol paints were used for the wound on the neck which means they will last longer as they won't be affected by water as much as aqua paints would be, however, this makeup wouldn't work for stage or an event as the makeup isn't intense enough which means the details would be lost due to the distance, however, I could make this work for theatre by making the makeup more intense to allow it to be seen from a distance. For continuity purposes, pictures would...
