Welcome to the

WORLD'S MAKE-UP SCHOOL Each year, students from around the world come to Make-up Designory (MUD) schools to train for a variety of make-up specialties. Students at MUD are immersed, from their very first day, into the craft of make-up artistry. Each of these courses are specifically designed to help the student to fulfill their own aspirations of working in film, television, the fashion industry, advertising, retail cosmetics, and a wide variety of specialties.

MUD creates the path for future artists by giving each of you the opportunity to discover and develop their own unique style under the training and supervision of certified instructors who have the professional expertise in all fields of make-up artistry. The student's personal vision will come alive as they infuse their inherent talent with practical skills. Whether it will be within the intricacies of prosthetics or the delicacy of beauty make-up, MUD will prepare the student to begin a unique journey as a make-up artist.

MUD is a school designed by make-up artists to train make-up artists. Founded in 1997, by accomplished, professional artisans, Make-up Designory began with a simple dream, and has expanded into a recognized, rigorous academic program that fosters creativity, experimentation, and achievement.

6

MUD humbly began with a few courses in beauty, character, and special make-up effects, and has since expanded to offer four comprehensive make-up programs, several individual courses, and a collection of part-time courses within the two main campuses in Los Angeles and New York City. MUD has also expanded globally, offering Studio Courses internationally at MUD Studios, and at Partner Schools across the U.S. Make-up Designory is an outstanding example of how a clear vision will help the student realize a dream career.

MUD's connection to the film, fashion, and beauty industries is what gives MUD our advantage. Professional Advisory Committee (PAC) meetings are an important way to gain insight on the latest techniques and trends that are happening in these exciting fields. MUD's PAC is comprised of experienced make-up artists who represent all the faces of make-up artistry, graduates who know the curriculum inside and out, and fellow educators who have committed their lives to student learning. The PAC meetings lead to lively discussions about curriculum, policies, and student services.

PAC commentary is taken to hear and has led to many school changes; this constructive criticism is what keeps MUD relevant in the industry and is an important step towards creating make-up artists who are prepared for professional work, and successful careers.

Los Angeles

MUD Welcomes you to

Los Angeles is the man dressed as Darth Vader in front of the Chinese Theatre. It’s some kid jumping a six stair on a skateboard as a movie is filmed nearby.

It’s the Hollywood star in a ripped t-shirt.

Finding the local indie people in the french named coffee shop. The ability to have authentic Thai food after taking a Zumba class in Spanish. It’s road work ahead.

Seeing the city from Lookout Mountain. Driving to the ocean. It’s car lights. It’s music. It’s film.

The Los Angeles campus can be found in downtown Burbank, California, home of some of the biggest production studios in the world, including Warner Bro. Studios, Walt Disney Studios, The Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, ABC Studios, and dozens of other major entertainment related companies.

Los Angeles campus life

New York MUD Welcomes you to

New York is trying to catch a taxi in the middle of Times Square. It is East Village, wishing you were as cool as the musicians who hang out there. It is a long walk along Battery Park. Seeing the Keith Haring on 128th and 2nd.

Knowing the subway like the back of your hand.

New York is cookie shots in Soho. It’s trying to walk as fast as men in suits and getting a pizza in the Financial District.

It is a small restaurant around a corner that nobody knows about. It’s bright lights. It’s a horizon of windows. It’s fashion. It’s art.

New York

campus life

The New York campus is located amidst the bustle of the world's most renowned fashion designers, theatres, and network studios. In Manhattan's fast-paced and exciting Financial District, MUD students are just steps away from Wall Street, Stone Street eateries, and the Battery Park waterfront area.

The courses are pulled from the same curriculum that comprises the longer programs at MUD's main campuses in Los Angeles and New York, but are broken up into smaller modules. These modules can be taken separately or combined, allowing the student to transfer their education to one of MUD's main campuses.

Introducing MUD's NEW Course

Essentials of

Hair

NEW!

Make-up and hair go together like peanut butter and jelly, you really can’t have one without the other. Our focus was on the student experience when we started Make-up Designory eighteen years ago and is still very true to this day. We wanted to make sure the education the student received was relevant to the industry, and that the student would have the tools to be a successful make-up artist. One of those essential tools is hairstyling. In today’s film and fashion industries, producers and photographers are looking for artists that can create the complete look. To help our students be better make-up artists we are introducing Essentials of Hair to provide that tool.

This Studio course is modeled after our main campus course Beauty 201: Studio Hairstyling for the Make-up Artist, and consists of 70 instructional hours. The focus is on classic techniques that show the students how to create modern styles for advertising and editorial.

In addition, they will learn to use hot tools and roller sets to create modern, natural styles, as well as edgy and creative hair designs. We have incorporated daily projects and skill-building sessions to encourage learning by practice. As part of the course, the students are required to complete hair and make-up projects which relate to on-the-job experience.

We started the course with the proper care of tools and how to maintain a clean work environment. As with all of our Studio courses, maintaining a hygienic workspace is a priority that we continually stress. We cover the basics of working with hair from combing out tangles, using a variety of brushes, to the technique of properly blow drying hair. The students initially work on mannequins, which allows them to slowly build their confidence as they work towards human models.

Hairstyling is the sculpting of hair with classic techniques. We use hot rollers in a variety of ways to show students how to build a hairstyle and teach how to master the use of marcel irons. We do not just want the student to be able to duplicate a look, we want them to understand how a look was created and how to recreate it using techniques that will help that style to last under the rigors of a demanding production schedule.

The students also learn how to manipulate hair, whether it is braiding or how to skillfully use a comb and hairspray. Additionally, we challenge students to push the edge of what they are comfortable doing. As the course progresses the students are required to design looks that combine make-up and hair into a cohesive design.

We assign projects that duplicate onset conditions for time and quality that force students to manage their application. Teaching them to deliver a look on time and at the high standard set by our faculty.

According to Paul Thompson, MUD’s Director of Education, “Essentials of Hair is one of those courses that combines make-up and hair in real world situations that teaches students how to problem solve and how to create original looks”. Paul continues by pointing out that often after the graduate have left the school they discover just how valuable hairstyling techniques are. “I am continually amazed by the positive feedback I get from graduates years after they have attended the class."

There is no doubt that make-up and hair go hand in hand. Whether it is for a special night out or the demands of an editorial campaign, no make-up is complete without a complementary hairstyle. It is for this reason that MUD has included hairstyling to the collection of MUD Studio Courses.

Typically, the eyes are light, the cheeks are sun-kissed, and the lips are a soft, subtle color. Natural looks can be worn everyday, and are good for most social occasions and special events.

Make-up party Description: Invite your friends to a party where you learn to do make-up while having a little fun. This workshop is the perfect introduction to the weekend.

Channel your inner-rock star with a new look and be the center of attention.

MUD Cares

The Swahili word for ‘angel’ is Malaika Written By: Kaylie Holland In life it is not what money can bring us, but rather the meaningful experiences people can bring to our lives. What if by the building of a fence, you could give children in a village a path out of malnourishment? By digging for a couple days, you could give a neighborhood clean water. No money can give you the satisfaction of working alongside people in need. MUD Cares is an effort created by Make- up Designory to contribute to the important things in life. We are interested in our world and what we can do as a make-up company to help. It is the possibility of change that pushes our work in the MUD Cares program. MUD Cares began with a little leftover lipstick that was donated to a women’s shelter. From there, MUD cares has organized toy and clothes drives, created make-up teams to provide free make-overs, donates products to worthy organizations, and even built a house for children orphaned by disease and poverty in Kenya. Today, we continue to find worthwhile projects to become involved with such as the Malaika Foundation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

What happens when a girl is not afforded the opportunity to go to school? When a girl is left in the dark because her family can only afford to send her brother? Why is it that women are so often forgotten? Around the world, women are not always given the same chances as men. In The Democratic Republic of Congo, it is common for girls to be married at

a young age for a dowery while the boys in their family are sent to school. A key problem in women’s education is the risk associated with going to school. In the Congo, schools typically lack adequate bathrooms and a girl student’s safety is at risk. Added to this the problems of early pregnancy, poverty and poor nutrition and a lack of access to medical care make the challenge all the greater.

The Malaika Foundation was created by the Congolese born model Noella Coursaris Masters to meet in one village the problems faced by young girls and to educate young women and to prepare the Congo’s next generation for success.

The Malaika Foundation, is named after Noella’s late father.

At the age of five, Noella tragically lost him and was sent to Switzerland to be raised by other family members. She found a successful modeling career when she left for the United Kingdom at the age of 18 to study English. Her UK modeling eventually led to New York and there using her career as a platform Noella created The Malaika Foundation. She is driven by the feeling that if her mother had a proper education, she would have been able to raise Noella on her own.

Appropriately, the organizations first endeavor was to create the Malaika school. By creating the school, Noella aims to help young women to have the strength, confidence, and education to be independent thinkers and to help the development of their local area. The school is used to give girls a voice. A proper education empowers young girls to feel confident when speaking their minds. It contributes to their overall success in life. Whether a girl chooses to be a mother, business woman, both or neither, their education backs them in decision making, taking a stand to fight injustice, and to have a successful career.

Malaika is a school located in the Congolese province of Katanga. At the school, girls with varying backgrounds take advantage of a full curriculum with courses in English, French, Art, and Science. beyond coursework, the girls are involved in community service and even have the opportunity to earn their badges as Girl Scouts.

The Malaika Foundation operates in the Congo where they provide tuition free education to more than 225 girls, health care services to community members and help with water needs by constructing wells. Noella, continues in both her modeling and humanitarian work. She has been featured on CNN, Bloomberg, Ted Talk Paris and is a regular guest of the Clinton Initiative.

It really takes a group of artists to build a major prosthetic make-up. Make-up Designory’s Elephant Man demo make-up is no different; seven MUD instructors and graduates participated in creating and applying the various pieces to model Garett Desmond and bringing the likeness of Joseph Merrick to life at IMATS Los Angeles in January 2016. Here is a breakdown of the various stages in building the Elephant Man.

Step One Life Casting and Making Positives The first step in any custom prosthetic make-up is taking a life cast of the model or actor who will be wearing the look. This ensures that each prosthetic fits the model exactly and that the final application will be as realistic and believable as possible. After Garett Desmond volunteered to be the Elephant Man, MUD instructors Chad Washam and Ray Shaffer (Special Effects 201 and 301 classes) and MUD graduate Shelby Michael Patton took extensive life casts of his head, face and body. Using Smooth-On Body Double Silk, a self-releasing platinum silicone, the team life cast his entire head, face and shoulders, back and torso, and his right hand and forearm. After the silicone had fully cured, plaster mother molds were added to preserve the shape of the life casts and provide durability.

40

From there, hydrocal 30 was brushed into the life casts to recreate rough positives of each of the areas that would require prosthetics.

The hydrocal positives were drafted out with water clay to remove any undercuts and provide clean positives for sculpting and molding.

Shelby Michael Patton and Trina White were principally responsible for drafting out these positives, then making Tempo 30 tin-cure silicone brush-up molds, and finally tapping West System epoxy fiber-

Step Two Sculpting and Mold-Making

glass into the molds to create lightweight, durable positives for the project. In total, 3 positives were made in fiberglass, including a full head positive, chest, and back. The right hand positive was made with a combination of 1630 resin and ultracal 30, with removable fingers to assist in demolding the appliance. Additional ultracal 30 snap molds were made of the face and back of the head to create overlapping facial appliances.

Chad Washam took lead in the sculpting of the various prosthetics for the Elephant Man, with some assistance from Shelby in blocking out the sculptures. Nearly all of the sculpts were done in water clay due to the short deadline and Chad completed the sculpting work in roughly 20 hours total.

After the sculptures were finalized, they were laid up with water clay, released and prepped for molding. Chad and Shelby did the clay lay-ups and molded the face and chin (ultracal mold), chest (fiberglass mold), right hand (ultracal mold) and the back (combo fiberglass/ultracal mold.) Kelly McGuinny assisted Chad in laying-up and molding the cowl (fiberglass mold).

Step Three Running Foam

After the molds were complete, Ray Shaffer took led in prepping the molds for foam latex, with assistance from Chad and Shelby. Both the fiberglass and ultracal molds were baked in MUD’s oven to remove water moisture and any lingering gasses. Injection ports were added to the cowl, face, and chin molds so the foam latex could be injected into molds that were already bolted, strapped, and clamped tightly shut. The chest, back and right hand were all poured full of foam latex while still open and then clamped shut. Bleeders were added to all of the molds be release air and prevent the formation of steam bubbles. An additional ultracal scrape mold of blender pieces was also made and run.

In total, 2-3 copies of each prosthetic were made over the course of about a week. Due to the large size and thickness of the prosthetics, approximately 3 gallons of GM Foam Latex was used to produce the pieces for the Elephant Man. Ray, Chad, and Shelby ran three triple batches of foam latex simultaneously to fully fill the molds and, thanks to Ray’s guidance and expertise as a foam runner, every run was a success.

Meanwhile, Chad and Shelby also ran three copies of the large tumor on the back of Joseph Merrick’s head in soft polyurethane foam with a latex skin. The reason the tumor was run in polyfoam was to help reduce the overall weight of the cowl and make the piece comfortable for the model to wear. Chad and Shelby also produced multiple copies of the sculpting positive in rigid polyurethane foam to store and transport the finished prosthetics.

Step Four

Seaming, Patching, Pre-Painting, and Hair Punching After the foam latex prosthetics were successfully run, Chad and Shelby prepared them for painting and application. Any seamlines created from where two pieces of a mold met needed to be burned away with soldering tools and then cabo-patched (patched over with prosaide thickened with cabosil). To further disguise the burn line, a light layer of a latex and acrylic paint mix was stippled on as well. The large tumor on the back of the head was also seamed and patched, and then attached to the foam latex cowl with Barge adhesive and foam latex blenders.

Once all of the prosthetics were seamed and patched, Chad went about pre-painting the pieces. Pre-painting prosthetic pieces is a particularly useful trick for any make-up artist; it not only makes the application on the model go much faster, it also allows the artist more time to carefully think about their painting process. Chad used a combination of custom-made PAX paints (prosaide mixed with acrylic paint), acrylic washes, and alcohol and ink spattering techniques to pre-paint the Elephant Man prosthetics. After being painted, the pieces were heavily powdered to protect them during transportation.

42

The final touch for the cowl was adding realistic hair. Shelby handpunched a custom mix of blonde and brown human hair across all of the Elephant Man head, including the large tumor on the back of the head. Then, the hair was wet, styled and dried. Ray Shaffer provided invaluable advice during this process and MUD’s Beauty 101 teacher Lisa Leveridge even stepped in to give Joseph Merrick a quick haircut.

Step Five Making Teeth

While the main make-up team was busy making the foam latex prosthetics, Make-up Designory’s School Director and Associate Director of Education (and former instructor) Gil Romero stepped in and made a set of upper and lower teeth for the character, using a dental cast taken of Garett Desmond during the life casting day.

Step Six Application and Painting

After nearly 5 weeks of work, MUD’s version of the Elephant Man was ready to be debuted and applied at the International Make-Up Artist Trade Show (IMATS). The prosthetic pieces were transported to the Pasadena Convention Center early in the morning and the entire make-up was applied to model Garett Desmond over the course of 5 hours at the Make-up Designory booth within the convention hall. Chad Washam and Shelby Michael Patton were the lead make-up artists and were assisted by recent MUD graduates Trina White (who also assisted in building the make-up) and Lexie Chacon-Rios. The foam pieces were glued on with prosaide and the pieces were blended together and painted with a combination of custom PAX paint, acrylic washes, alcohol paint and ink spatter (using Paasche H airbrushes), as well as European Body Art’s ENDURA alcohol-based airbrush paint and a small amount of grease paint around the eyes. After the application, the make-up was powdered to eliminate any stickiness or shine and then sealed with Green Marble Sealer.

All of the techniques and skills used to create the Elephant Man makeup are taught within Make-up Designory’s Special Make-Up Effects 201 and 301 classes. Chad Washam and Ray Shaffer regularly instruct both of these classes and teach much students the knowledge necessary to build and apply custom special effects prosthetic make-ups. Shelby Michael Patton, Trina White, Lexie Chacon-Rios, and Kelly McGuinny are all graduates of MUD’s Masters in Make-Up Artistry program.

Make-up Designory’s Elephant Man make-up was expertly photographed at the event by photographer Deverill Weekes. At the end of the day, the make-up was removed by Ray Shaffer, Chad Washam, Trina White, Lexie Chacon-Rios and Shelby Michael Patton.

43

Proteus syndrome is a rare disorder marked by the excessive and unusual growth of skin and bone, as well as the development of tumors over half of the body. The most famous documented case of Proteus syndrome is that of Joseph Merrick, an Englishman who spent most of his life as a human curiosity and freak show attraction in London during the late 19th century. He is more widely known as ‘The Elephant Man.’ Several old black-and-white photographs of Joseph Merrick exist (and his preserved skeleton resides at the Royal London Hospital) and the images depict the extent of his deformities; nearly the entire right side of Merrick’s body is enlarged and twisted by thick skin, abnormal bone growths, and tumors. Proteus syndrome is incurable and relentless; Joseph Merrick died at the age of 27 of asphyxia caused by the weight of the tumors and growths throughout his body.

While Joseph Merrick was quite the attraction and object of study in London during the late 19th century, his story entered wider public knowledge in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

In 1979, a play based on Merrick entitled The Elephant Man debuted. Written by Bernard Pomerance, the play won 3 Tony Awards (including Best Play) and numerous other honors. In 1980, The Elephant Man was released as a feature length film, directed by David Lynch and starring John Hurt and Anthony Hopkins. The Elephant Man was nominated for 8 Academy Awards.

And this is where the story of Joseph Merrick, the Elephant Man, meets the world of makeup effects.

As make-up artists, we are charged with the task of transforming actors into characters and bringing life for the creative vision of the director, writers, and producers. We must use our skills, training, and tools to convince the audience that an actor is someone different than who they actually are, without drawing attention to the fact that they are wearing make-up.

This transformation is sometimes as (seemingly) simple as making a beautiful woman look like an average waitress. But, in the world of special make-up effects, this transformation often requires the creation and application of extensive prosthetics, hair pieces, and teeth.

When David Lynch initially began production on The Elephant Man, he planned on building and applying the make-up to actor John Hurt himself. However, it quickly became apparent that the project would require the assistance of an experienced and knowledgeable professional make-up artist. In the interview ‘Christopher Tucker on Creating the Elephant Man,’ make-up

artist Christopher Tucker describes how he first heard about and was eventually brought into the production, “Then a phone call came from a production manager I knew and said ‘We’re doing a production of The Elephant Man.’ And, um, they wanted to know where they could get some polyurethane foam. I said, ‘Well, what’s it for?’ He said, ‘We want to make the prosthetics’ or something. I said, ‘Well that doesn’t sound right to me, that’s not going to work. Um, who’s doing the make-up?’… About a week later, they rang up in a panic and said they hadn’t got a film and they hadn’t got an Elephant Man and they needed to start shooting on Monday. It was a mega panic.”

Christopher Tucker was invited to view the preserved skeleton and remains of Joseph Merrick at the Royal London Hospital. However, he suggested that if he had the remains with him at his studio, it would be extremely helpful in recreating Merrick’s likeness. Almost unbelievably, the curator compiled and the remains were transported to him. Among these relics was a plaster cast that had been taken of Merrick, which gave Tucker a good reference for the size and dimensions of his head. According to Tucker, bits of Merrick’s hair were still embedded into the plaster cast, so they also had a good reference for what color his hair was. Tucker based his sculptures and make-up off of those remains, as well as old, grainy photographs of Merrick that were taken when he was alive.

Despite the fact that the make-up was an extremely rushed job (approximately 8 weeks in total), Christopher Tucker and his team managed to sculpt, build, produce, and apply enough pieces to allow the production to complete filming. The longest day they worked was 49 hours straight to meet the incredible deadline. The final make-up was comprised of some 15 pieces and sections that all had to overlap.

The Elephant Man was nominated for 8 Academy Awards. But it was not nominated for, nor did it win, the Academy Award for Best Makeup. This is because in 1980, that category did not exist. However, a year later in 1981, the category for Best Make-up was officially introduced and was won by Rick Baker for An American Werewolf in London. There is little debate the Christopher Tucker’s phenomenal work on The Elephant Man was crucial in the decision to finally add an Academy Award category for best make-up and recognize the achievements of the talented artists within our industry.

Due to both the unique appearance of Joseph Merrick himself and the significance of Christopher Tucker’s make-up, the Elephant Man is a

work of particular importance within the world of make-up effects and is often referenced as an inspirational achievement, alongside other major works by Rick Baker, Dick Smith, Michael Westmore, and Michele Burke. Christopher Tucker built a beautiful, impressive make-up that completely transformed John Hurt and played a crucial role in bringing David Lynch’s vision of Joseph Merrick to life, all within an unimaginably tight deadline. It is, without a doubt, a make-up that any young, aspiring special effects artist should be familiar with.

Among the many artists who were inspired by Tucker’s Elephant Man is Make-up Designory Los Angeles instructor and resident sculptor Chad Washam. He has been a fan of the make-up since seeing the film in the early 1980s and considers it one of his ‘bucket list make-ups.’

Washam describes the Elephant Man, “It’s really a make-up that appeals very strongly to other make-up artists. It’s a massive transformation with very large pieces, but the application and painting needs to be incredibly realistic and believable to be successful.” Taking Christopher Tucker’s work as inspiration, Make-up Designory decided that the International Make-Up Artist Trade Show in Los Angeles would be the perfect platform to pay tribute to this incredible make-up. And, at IMATS Los Angeles in January 2016, Chad Washam got to cross the Elephant Man off his bucket list.

Of course, the make-up had to be built first.

And, much like the production of The Elephant Man back in 1980, it needed to be done within tight time and budgetary constraints and the make-up team used the same grainy photographs of Joseph Merrick and small images of Christopher Tucker’s version for reference. The majority of MUD’s Elephant Man make-up was built over the course of 5 weeks at the Make-up Designory campus in Burbank, CA. A volunteer team of MUD instructors and graduates dedicated their free time to completing the long list of steps necessary to recreate and reimagine this classic make-up, with a bulk of the work being done over the winter holiday break in late December, 2015. The complete make-up build is explained in the previous article, ‘Building the Elephant Man,’ and the artists who worked on the project include Chad Washam, Ray Shaffer, Gil Romero, Shelby Michael Patton, Trina White, Lexie Chacon-Rios and Kelly McGuinny.

Much like Tucker, Chad Washam also had to find a way to manage the large deformities covering Joseph Merrick’s body. While it might be easy to look at the make-up and assume the skin and bone growths and tumors have been exaggerated, that really isn’t the case. Merrick’s

deformities were so large and severe that he was ultimately crushed under the weight of them. It is extraordinarily difficult to so thoroughly cover an actor in such large prosthetics pieces without inhibiting their ability to move, speak, and perform. Tucker described his own difficulty with the make-up and how he ultimately made strategic changes to his design and sculpts to create the final make-up. According to Tucker, “The art of make-up is to alter somebody’s appearance without it being seen, what you’ve actually achieved. The idea is to help the actor portray the part in whatever way you can.” Ultimately, Chad Washam also took some artistic liberties with his make-up design, the sculpt of the back and hand were altered from the source material and the specific size and dimensions of the head and face tumors were modified to best fit the model’s face.

In total, MUD’s Elephant Man tribute make-up was a total of 9 large prosthetic pieces, consisting of a foam latex cowl, cheek, nose, chin, chest, back, and hand prosthetics, an attached tumor of soft latex-covered polyurethane foam, and custom upper and lower teeth, in addition to multiple individually sculpted foam latex blender pieces scattered across the model’s body. Ultimately, the entire upper body and head of the model, Garett Desmond, was covered in prosthetics, adhesive, and paint during a 5 hour-long application at the busy MUD booth at IMATS LA on Saturday, January 17th 2016.

Desmond had never modeled such an extensive and large make-up, and described the experience of being transformed into the Elephant Man, “It was really interesting…most of the people who saw me were really surprised and uncomfortable with how I looked. It was like they didn’t want to look at me, but they were also fascinated and didn’t want to look away…

It [wearing the make-up] really made me sympathetic to how the real Elephant Man must have felt…like you were a real person on the inside but no one could see it beneath what was on the outside.” The final make-up was expertly photographed by Deverill Weekes at the event.

When asked his thoughts on how the Elephant Man make-up turned out, Chad Washam said, “Well, I think it turned out pretty good. But this was our first time applying the make-up and there are a lot of things that I think we can improve upon. I’d like to apply it again so we can make it even better.” While the real Joseph Merrick suffered from Proteus syndrome, it appears Chad Washam suffers from the congenital disorder that plagues most make-up artists – the relentless desire to improve your work and skill, and to always do a better job the next time.

False Eyelashes

Why we love them We all crave long luxurious lashes that represent youthful and well defined eyes. False eyelashes are the secret weapon used by make-up artists and consumers to make natural lashes look bold and beautiful.

We have so many options that we can really create many different looks by utilizing one style of lashes for a full, natural look or by combining styles to create even thicker lashes. Eyelashes are available in synthetic or natural hair and come in a wide range of lengths and thicknesses.

There are more styles now than ever before and we can even get lashes made in different colors and materials. False eyelashes have had a

46

number of names over the years and we typically refer to them as strips, individuals or flares. A strip lash is a set of curved hairs attached to a single strip of material that is glued above an individual’s natural lashes.

Individual lashes, sometimes called singles, are usually a single strand of hair that can be glued on above the natural lashes to fill in thin spots or can be used in conjunction with a strip lash for an even fuller look.

Flares are used in the same way as the individual lashes, however they are made up of four to eight strands of hair. They, too, can be combined with individuals or strip lashes for customized looks.

Apply the glue with an orangewood stick to the inside edge of the strip. The adhesive is a contact adhesive and will work either wet or dry. To apply wet, wait about 15 seconds before applying the lash. Waiting will allow the glue to stiffen up slightly and keep the lash from roaming around on the eyelid.

To properly connect the model's natural lashes with the false eyelashes, have the model look straight ahead and place the orangewood stick on the upper side of lashes as support. Then, with the #500 Brush, apply mascara by gently brushing up from the underside of the lashes. This will connect the lashes together and ensure that the lashes look good from any angle.

MUD Studio A place where creativity, art, beauty and knowledge are reborn

MUD Studio Gent Photography: Jorn Urbain

74

When architecture and design meet MUD and its Studio concept, an extraordinary place is born. A place where creativity, art, beauty and knowledge is to be seen - is it a classroom or shop, place that will overwhelm you with MUD philosophy.

75

Vienna,

the City of Music

76

Vienna’s beauty, history and its vibrant love of life were only part of the reason to open a MUD Studio here. Opened in November 2015, the Studio is located directly opposite the famous Viennese state Opera House, which is also reflected in the Studio’s interior design.

The MUD Studio can educate up to 16 students at once in a private atmosphere. The fact that the classroom is on another level than the shop makes it special and private, the store customers are not disturbed by students and vice versa. We are proud that we can offer such a perfect environment for such a profound education.

Our students will get to know make-up in a pleasant environment with perfect features. The Studio is working in cooperation with Vienna

Fashion Week, the famous Opera Ball, as well as the worldwide known Life-Ball, all of which will give our students the opportunity to showcase what they have learned at MUD. Vienna, the City of Music, is known for being the home of legendary composers, such as Franz Schubert, Johann Strauss I, and Johann Strauss II, along with the world's first psycho analyst, Sigmund Freud. Other greats, such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Johannes Brahms spent a great deal of their careers living in this magical city.

Vienna has the world’s best quality of living according to the Mercer 2015 Quality of Living rankings, and has some of the world’s most beautiful architecture - which has been desig-

nated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The City offers something for everybody: it has posh clubs as well as grungy underground bars.

There are five star restaurants next to vegan organic snack bars. There is the very beautiful old part of town, the historic Opera House in the heart of the city, the castle of Schönbrunn; yet with so much history to see, Vienna also has a very modern and young art scene. Museums like the Mumok (museum of modern art) or the MQ (Museumsquartier) offer so many creatives a place for art, ideas and interaction.

We can proudly say that we have chosen the right spot in Austria to open a MUD Studio. We are joyfully looking into a bright future for the MUD Studio Vienna.

Get to know

MUD Europe Team Written By: MUD Staff Creativity and innovation are rarely the result of one individual, but rather the product of a dedicated and talented team. When Make-up Designory began in 1997 with three employees and a small studio, it was quickly realized that in order to be successful and truly create a new concept in cosmetics and make-up education, the team would have to focus and grow with more and more talented individuals.

Over the years the MUD family began to grow, but a few years ago, MUD took a dramatic step in scope and creativity and expanded its creative team to Europe. MUD's European team is comprised of a special group of talented individuals that have been tasked with creating the visual appearance of the brand. While the US team works on new products, techniques and education systems, MUD Europe works to tell the MUD story.

80

That story is told by the European team's beautiful design work, unique seasonal campaigns, product photography, and innovative space design. Each year the team produces MUD Art. A magazine that tells the MUD story and encompasses what is best about the brand, the company's team members and, ultimately, its students and customers.

The creative process does not stop in print for MUD's European Team. They, along with the great work of Barbara Debevec from Plusminus30, have worked to re-imagine the physicality of MUD's classrooms and retail space. The result of which has been the creation of MUD Studio; a modern, highly customizable retail space, which creates a relaxed and sophisticated environment to learn about MUD Cosmetics and a modern classroom that optimizes the learning experience.

Graduate Spotlight

Hugo Villasenor Written By: Trason Fernandes In 1968, the film "Planet of the Apes" was not only an iconic film, but it also triggered Hugo Villasenor’s first inspiration and appreciation for special make-up effects in the movies.

After having a career in the dental field for close to 12 years, he decided it was time for a change. He collected all of his savings and decided to go to back to school to study what had first sparked his interest, which was to be an artist. He went on all the tours of the LA-based schools, during this time he had also stumbled upon Make-up Artist Magazine. It was the one with Stan Winston on the cover; within it there was an article that outlined the steps you would take in picking a school called, “How to Choose a Make-up School.” Through this process, a particular school named Make-Up Designory, aka MUD, caught his attention.

At the age of 35, Hugo decided to take the plunge and dive into the Master Make-up Artistry program at MUD, learning all he could within his time there. Once he completed his schooling, he earned a short internship for Lenny McDonald at Edge

82

FX. He worked on everything from being in the shop to the experience of life on-set. Soon after that he had the opportunity to work at Creature FX, which was based on a recommendation from Lenny. His experience in shop work pulled him into working at the shop on films such as, "The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe".

Slowly building his resume' of work; Hugo landed a job at Proteus FX. On his first Day of working there, to his surprise, he was introduced to Steve Prouty; the FX artist that was featured in a Cameo article, in that first Make-Up Artist magazine that Hugo had come across. He had the opportunity to work alongside Barney Burman and Steve Prouty for a few years.

He ended up working on "Alias", "Tenacious D", "the Pick of Destiny", and many other projects.

Hugo was also involved in the next feature the shop worked on, "Mission Impossible 3". Hugo remembers that during the start of pre-production of this feature at Paramount Studios, Barney was unable to make it due to illness. Hugo was sent as

the spokesperson on his behalf. He had to do a presentation for the director, J.J. Abrams, and the producers. He went over all prosthetics that were to be used on Tom Cruise and Kerry Russell for their injured looks in the film.

With the industry slowing down, Hugo decided to open his own small studio M3FX. He then started taking smaller projects on his own. Why M3FX? Hugo, being a family man, was inspired to name his studio after his 3 daughters.

Alterian Inc. was the next chapter in Hugo's career as an FX artist. He had the pleasure of working alongside many great artists, including Tony Gardener, the owner of the shop. Hugo worked on various sets doing make-up applications, on projects such as, "Gentlemen Broncos", "30 Minutes or Less", and Eli Roth's film, "Clown". Hugo was the department head for make-up FX for "Scout's Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse", which was his first department head credit, for a movie of that size. It was a real honor for him to have Tony Gardener trust him with such a big project.

Following that, he landed a random dream job, turning Mel Gibson into a werewolf for a Halloween party. It came from a

recommendation by Steve Prouty. As a surprise to him, Hugo got a follow-up call from Mel the next year to transform him into a zombie.

Hugo used to read the Fangoria Magazines and aspired to have one of his own make-ups posted within the pages. In 2015, an indie film, "Starry Eyes", got him his first nomination for a Fangoria Chainsaw Award. In 2016, he landed his second nomination for yet another Fangoria Chainsaw Award on what he considered to be his first crowning achievement as a Department Head through his own studio, M3FX. "Bone Tomahawk", a western with cannibals starring Kurt Russell, is a playground for an FX artist to be creative and bring his own ideas to the big screen. Hiring his own team, Hugo was able to bring on some great artists who each brought their own unique skills to help in the creation of the film. He brought on set his right hand, Analyn Cruz, also a MUD graduate, who assisted with all the design looks for the beauty make-ups and worked on all aspects of hair and wigs for the show. He was able to call on people from all over, including Tanner White, his backbone at the shop, & Steve Costanza was his on- set go-to artist.

Hugo looks excitingly to further his career, and continually builds himself as an artist. He is constantly learning on every job along the way. Hugo’s words of wisdom for any aspiring artist are, “Never turn an opportunity down, you never know what’s in store for you around the corner.”

Industry Speaks Written By: Deverill Weekes

Each week MUD hosts some of the most outstanding artisans in their fields. These four examples demonstrate some of the talent we are fortunate to have meet with our students.

Kevin Haney

Denika

Kevin Haney is an Oscar winning make-up artist (DRIVING MISS DAISY) who started his career in 1982. Some of his well-known movies include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION and ADAMS FAMILY VALUES. More recently his work can be seen in CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER, DIVERGENT and STAR TREK BEYOND. He was a direct protégé of Dick Smith, who he credits with changing his life. He remains a leader and an innovator in the Industry.

Celebrity make-up artist Denika Bedrossian is well known for her intricate liquid eye liner and defined cat eye. She has always had a passion for beauty, glam, music and fashion. With well over a decade of experience under her belt, Denika's extensive knowledge of makeup has allowed her to master the art of enhancing natural beauty.

Not only is Denika well known for her unique style and vivacious character, but she also has a reputation for perfecting the face through contour, highlighting and blending. Her modern techniques, fused with her 50's inspired style, leaves her clients looking classic and unforgettable.

First Film/Project: ALTERED STATES Film/Project that you worked on that changed your life: ALTERED STATES (I owe Dick Smith everything.)

Most recent project: FLO'S FAMILY PROGRESSIVE commercial.

Bedrossian

First make-up project: It was probably in high school when all my friends asked me to do their make-up for the formals, but my real first Industry project was CRAZY TOWN music video MANY years ago, lol.

Film/Project that you worked on that changed your life: I think every project changes and affects my life or career in some way.

I’d say the greatest change I had at the beginning of my career was leaving MAC to work with the PussyCat Dolls.

Most recent project: Currently, I’m working on loads of things, which include PROJECT RUNWAY JR. with Kelly Osbourne and a new online magazine launch in New York.

Kim Ayers

Mike Mekash

A native of Southern California, Kim Ayers is an accomplished make-up artist in the entertainment industry. Kim has over 40 feature film and television credits which include IRON MAN 2, THERE WILL BE BLOOD, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES, ANGELS AND DEMONS, STAND UP GUYS AND JOHN CARTER.

First film/Project: JUST A LITTLE HARMLESS SEX

Film/Project that you worked on that changed your life: Besides the obvious being ALPHA DOG, where I met my beautiful wife Eryn, I would have to say it was THE STONING OF SORIA M, which allowed me to travel to the Petra in the Middle East country of Jordan. It was a real eye opener, not only to see places I'd only seen in pictures, but also to experience how people live there. The subject matter of the film was such that it could bring a change in thinking globally. What we do in this Industry can have a profound effect on people. That made me proud of what we do.

Film/Project that you worked on that changed your life: I have two projects that changed my life. First was FAST AND FURIOUS TOKYO DRIFT. I showed up to day check for John Blake and ended up being his Key for that film and five others over the next five years. The second was JOHN CARTER. It was an amazing experience working for Bill Corso.

I also met Eryn Krueger Mekash on that film. This where the whole AMERICAN HORROR STORY fun began!

Most recent project: AMERICAN HORROR STORY: HOTEL

First Film/Project: I was on set first for a movie called TORQUE, applying tattoos to Jamie Presley and Ice Cube.

Most recent project: GUARDIANS OF HE GALAXY 2, which is basically a dream come true for me. I'm a big science fiction fan!!

A new year, a new store in Belgium and a new collab!

It’s not a coincidence that MUD Belgium bundles it’s strengths with fashion label Superfox: both brands have the same work ethic to perfection. The result? A range of shirts and sweaters with catchy make-up minded quotes.

The name Superfox comes from the English word ‘foxy’. A well thought name for a clothing label that wants to present something new. The target audience? Young women who stay true to themselves and don’t really care of what other people think. Ladies who are independent, contemporary and maybe even a bit stubborn. Girls who are interested in fashion and that can appreciate the importance of a beautiful make-up.

For contemporary girls And let that be just the target audience of MUD, the undisputed number one in make-up education. A unique number one because MUD makes a striking combination of the retail of their products and the educational part of their school. Every sale goes together with a well-founded step-by-step from the MUD make-up artist on how to use the product on it’s best. This combination of product knowledge is essential.

Fashion and make-up: the perfect match When MUD’s Belgium founders Gianni van Dort and Nathalie Baert met Superfox - founders Laurence Morel and John Noseda everything clicked right away. "Laurence and John are people who want to do everything perfect. Just like us. They won’t cooperate with just anyone. The story has to be right for both sides. And it was immediately the case. Both brands match very well together."

Black, white, colored or vice versa The new clothing line consists of good and honest quality white and black T-shirts and sweaters with catchy quotes from the makeup world. All garments are made from cotton. Curious?

The collection comes from the 1st of February. The collection is made in limited quantities, so get yours now!

There will also be a eye color palette launched at the same time. Keep your heads up!

Ordering is possible at all MUD Belgium stores and it’s online webstore.

The official make-up sponser for

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Ljubljana

What began in 1996 with the Mercedes Australian Fashion Week, is now an internationally recognized chain of fashion weeks in wonderful cities like Miami, Berlin, Sydney, Istanbul, and, yes, Ljubljana. The new Ljubljana show was in- October 2015.

MUD was fortunate to provide the hair and make-up department which included a team of creative make-up artists from MUD Studio Ljubljana, make-up artists from MUD Studio Belgium and MUD graduates.

Premiering to high expectations, MBFW utilized beautiful models to highlight the work of fashion designers to a prestigious group of fashion editors and others from the fashion community. Using the beauty of

Ljubljana, more than a dozen domestic and international fashion designers presented their Spring & Summer 2016 Collections.

The first challenges started two months prior to the event. The starting conversation included the determination of dates and times for each show, the number of designers, the number of models, and consequently the number of make-up artists. The designers sent reference photos of desired make-ups, with a description of their collections, to emphasize the looks they would demand. Some had clearly defined corporate designs, while others provided starting points, allowing our team to design the looks.

The most intense time is the last two weeks before the event, where our time was consumed with practice and rehearsals. Looks were created, models and artists were readied for the number of clothing and make-up changes. And, make-up artists and hairstylists practiced over and over, because when the show started, there was no time to think about anything else. Before leaving for the runway, as the models lined up backstage, the atmosphere at the moment was very inspirational. All of the work was done with one goal, to make a great impression on the audience.

Events like Fashion Week are a great challenge for everyone, the models, the design-

ers, the dressers, the make-up artists and the hairstylists. But, throughout the work, you have the opportunity to meet many new people within the fashion industry. Hard work, and an outstanding result, is the way professionals network.

On behalf of the entire MUD team, we are very grateful for the opportunity to demonstrate our skills, and we're pleased to know that we are being invited to the next show, in the Spring of this year. We already know it will be even better, and very different, from the last one.

Iceland The Next Best

Thing to Landing on the Moon Written By: MUD Staff Make-up Designory (MUD) opened it's first MUD Studio in Iceland on October 5th, 2015. This Studio is located in the brand new town center of Gardabaer, in the Reykjavik area, only a 15-20 minute bus ride from Reykjavik Center, and a 25-30 minute ride from the fabulous Blue Lagoon.

The owner of the Studio, Kristin Stefansdottir, and school director, Anna Maria Gudmundsdottir, happily welcomed guests to the Grand Opening event to enjoy the catering and to learn about what MUD stands for. It is their vision that with MUD they are bringing make-up education to a whole new level in Iceland.

Classes are taught by international MUD instructors. The first instructor to arrive in Iceland was Mr. Hrvoje Kozul - an experienced artist and instructor from Croatia. Level I and Level II Courses have already begun and Level III Courses will begin in March, 2016. Graduates from the first class have already worked on make-up projects for large events, including the Opera in Harpa, Reykjavik. Day and evening classes are offered year round.

Iceland is both a cool and a hot place to visit - virtually and physically. Under the ground boils hot lava that heats up pools and houses. Downtown Reykjavik, boils with nightlife, music, and exotic foods.

In the photo above: on the right is Kristin Stefansdottir – the owner of MUD Studio Reykjavik and on the left is Anna M. Gudmundsdottir, the school master.

Iceland is only populated with 350,000 people, most of them live in Reykjavik and adjacent towns, like Gardabaer - where the MUD Studio Reykjavik is located. The country is now very popular year round with tourists who want to explore Iceland's vast beauty and wild nature. If you go to downtown Reykjavik, you are more likely to meet people from your own country than Icelanders.

The glacial lagoon is a great place to visit, with floating icebergs that come from Vatnajőkull, the largest glacier in Europe.

MUD on tour with

the Voice

of Germany

Written By: Ellen Kara Late last year Make-up Designory, through its MUD Studio in Berlin, partnered with the German franchise of the international show “The Voice”, to help with their make-up and hair needs.

Fortunately for two recent graduates of MUD Studio Berlin the “Voice of Germany” entered its final two weeks of production and was in need of a make-up and hair team.

Adding to their background as hairstylists, Alla and Leon had just completed both Level I and II, and were the perfect choice for the assignment.

Kicking off their new careers, for two weeks the duo traveled with the show on tour providing hair and make-up to the eight finalists. Long days, great music and enthusiastic fans made this a truly unique and special experience for Alla and Leon. As the photos here show, we were fortunate to get a glimpse into their on tour life. Peeking behind the scenes to see all that is involved in a large production.

Huge TV screens not only showed the contestants and the great work of Leon and Alla, but also allowed MUD to spread its name.

A special congratulations goes out to Alla and Leon, and a “thank you” to the Voice for allowing MUD to be part of such a special event.

How was it being on tour, what where your days like?

We spent the nights on the tour bus. That is 15 people in a very small space, with the beds, TV, Playstation, food and drinks. We shared our bus with the performers and two cooks. You can imagine this was stressful, but a lot of fun!

Each morning we were greeted backstage by a freshly prepared breakfast.

What has particularly impressed you?

After breakfast, we set-up stations for hair and make-up, and cleaned our gear. In the early afternoon all of the talent started to drop in. The time was always very limited, and often had to be affected for sound checks and vocal coaching. But we always managed to send everyone back onto the stage in marvelous style.

During the show, we were always backstage, having to constantly refresh the make-up and hair. Sometimes there were tears by the performers, that meant a make-up had to be completely re-done - and in a max of 5 minutes. It was never boring. Hairstyles were also changed repeatedly. We even helped with dressing, because sometimes there was only one song in between a performance to get the singer completely restyled and back on stage.

After the show, everything was packed up, and off we went to the next town. Back on the bus, we spent our nights talking, laughing, watching movies, and getting a glimpse what the saying "living on the road" might be all about. We spent a few free days in nice hotels, and everyone enjoyed some well deserved free time.

That 50 people, who permanently live together, can have so much fun, while maintaining a strong work ethic for weeks on end. It was great to see how much passion everyone put in their jobs.

The endurance of the Foundations, and the overall quality of the Make-up Designory Cosmetic Products, were outstanding! We already had intensive experience "in normal" situations…but the use of "our" products on stage, with the uncertain factors, such as lights, heat, perspiration, and movement, was beyond our expectations. We could focus on our techniques, and let our creativity fly, because we did not need to worry about the quality of the products we depended upon.

Was it how you imagined it to be backstage, as a make-up artist?

Leon: "Yes! And even better! There was very little time, a lot of hustle and bustle, and very high demands. But, you have to really go for it - to enjoy it. I would like to go on the next tour immediately. That was one of the craziest things I've ever done in my life! "

Alla: "As a child, I often dreamed that I may eventually experience this kind of backstage life. I was curious to find out what it feels like to be part of a " tight-knit tour family". It was very exciting for me to find out that I am strong enough for it. Every day was something special for me, and I was very happy that I was able to experience it all."

What challenges did you encounter?

The biggest challenge was the lack of time during the show.

The artists were sweaty after each song, make-up and lipstick had to be replaced, and the hair had to be rearranged.

But, we both always stayed very calm, and we did not let ourselves be infected by the pressure of the show. That helped a lot, and was recognized by the performers, and they credited us for our efforts.

In which situations did you think back to your time in class?

First of all: thank you to our teacher, Azra! We heard your voice in our heads, and it helped us to push through every situation where we were unsure.

There's a difference whether make-up is for the stage or the everyday life, and the different approach was well taught to us in our specialty courses, such as Studio Make-up or High Fashion Make-up. This meant, for instance: Don't be shy to use colors, or to put in greater contrasts, and to use a much greater emphasis than used in natural day looks.

Is there something that was particularly difficult - unlike in the course? Or easier or better?

Alla: "Actually, only the first day - when we didn't know what we had to do, or how long we had to do it, or even how such a show works at all. I think that was the hardest part."

Leon: "It was great to have the sole responsibility for such a job. That made us proud. No time to be scared - we needed a plan and to work clean, fast and methodically. So, 45 minutes, like we had in the Final Exam, for a whole Face sounds like a LOT of time to me now!

How will your experience change the way you work, now that you have come to know Backstage Live stage and life?

We now have a lot of practice in one of the core teachings of MUD - to work quickly and clean at the same time. We did not expect so challenging and responsible a job so early in our carrier. This has shown us that you can aim high and never lose sight of your goals. Continue to learn, be open to new challenges, and, always love what you are doing.

And to put it in a practical list: Prepare a plan!

Work tight, clean and fast.

Stay calm!

Help your team mates.

The Art of Arts Being inspired by an artist or art period is not about duplication, it is about expressing one's own unique interpretation of their work.

After the Medieval period, where the human face was captured with very little movement or expression, came the Renaissance era, where women's beauty was looked at with a completely different perspective. For this look, pale ivory skin was used with a touch of glow above the cheeks. Eyebrows were

Renaissance 14th - 16th centuries

intentionally left natural, no mascara was used and lips softly defined. Modern, clean styling. The sophisticated hair line placed in the center brings the natural beauty of the model to another level. Is she happy or sad, was Da Vinci's Mona Lisa smiling? That is the beauty of personal interpretation.

Baroque/Rococo 17

th

- 18th centuries

The Baroque era was focused on religious matters, formality and dramatic expression. This period provoked the birth of the highly decorative art movement, Rococo. Towered powdered hair, lace, floral dresses and pastel colors blurred the lines between photography and canvas. The rouged cheeks, pouty flesh lips, powdery face, and unblended brush strokes in this look represent a metaphor between hedonism and a fairy tale, much of what was captured in the European upper class pictures at that time.

The inspiration for this look was inspired by Tamara de Lempicka, the first female artist and a glamour star, "the baroness with a brush". Her work is hugely influenced by Cubism, yet stylized with the proficiency of Art Deco. Strong contouring using highlights and shadows, drawn with wide strokes, yet still connecting them with softly blended lines was a challenge in designing this look. Today, exaggerated reconstruction of the eyes is often used in fashion make-up, so there is no doubt why she was considered the most fashionable portrait painter and admired among Hollywood stars and haute bourgeoisie.

The use of Fauve, primary red and blue colors, in this look are indicative of Andy Warhol's experiment with the technique of silkscreen printing, a technique which was used for mass production.

Prints, such as the original inspiration for this look, had hard defined edges where the shadow was strongest, hence the use of black for accentuating the eye creases, corners of the lips and its wrinkles. This is why this look appears to be more two dimensional. Popular culture and celebrities, such as Marilyn Monroe, were often present in his work.
