“Special Make-up Effects” is one of the most creative, challenging and technical forms of make-up artistry.

The term itself was coined to classify make-up techniques that go beyond the traditional “paint and powder” methods used in the film and television industry. Specifically, this refers to the application of materials and / or “appliances” that change the shape of an actor’s face or body.

Silicone Cuts and Lacerations Welcome to injuries 101. Paul Thompson, Director of Education for Make-Up Designory, has over 20 years of experience as a professional make-up artist and over 15 years in education. The following is his demonstration of a step-by-step process for creating silicone cuts and lacerations scars. While this application demonstrates how to create a laceration, it is also commonly used in film and television when creating scars and other effects. This effect is designed to be built up on the actor as it would have been done traditionally with wax. However, these materials and techniques are much more durable and long lasting. With a little creativity and just a few products you can create almost anything.

with Paul Thompson

Whenever you are planning an injury, it is important to consider the storyline behind the wound. Consider the cause of the lacerations, perhaps the weapon used. This demonstration reflects the story of a beast attack on a woman’s face; the claw marks are deep and savage.

Silicone To create the cut we used Third Degree, a silicone molding compound that is safe for use on skin. The product has two parts, A and B. Dispense two equal amounts of part A and part B onto a clean palette and mix thoroughly. Be cautious of cross contaminating the container with a dirty palette knife or the wrong lid. This will cause the material in the containers to cure prematurely. Once both parts are mixed together, the product takes about ten minutes to thicken. For this demonstration, we let the product sit a few more minutes to allow for a thicker consistency which makes the build-up of the scar, or laceration a little faster. Once the product reaches the desired density, use a palette knife, to apply the silicone to the face.

Foundation Once the sealer dries, the claw wound is ready to be painted.

Even though the silicone is clear and allows the skin to show through, we recommend starting off with a thin amount of foundation. In this demonstration, we used MUD’s cream foundation in four different shades that matched the shades in the model’s face. We used MUD’s 910 brush made with a synthetic blend that flares out nicely as we smash it against the palette This allows the product to be deposited as small dots of color onto wound.

Skin Color In order to achieve a realistic appearance to the flesh wound, apply the foundation with a very light touch while turning the brush. In addition to the foundation we also used a small amount of MUD’s Cream Cheek Color in Sweet Cheeks for a touch of warmth.

Sculpt To begin sculpting, we recommend building up one side of the wound at a time. This helps prevent using more product than is necessary to create the effect. For our claw mark, we created the largest wound first, then, the smaller wounds.

Layer the material so that one side of the applied silicone blends into the skin and make the other side a bit more. The jagged edge is going to be the inside of the laceration. We decided to make the lacerations irregular, with each “scratch” starting at a different point on the face, to simulate the closing of the claw as it struck the flesh.

Work quickly with the silicone, as there is a time limit on how long it will remain pliable.

Once the general shape of the injury is laid out, use the palette knife to remove any of the excess material making sure each laceration is completely self-contained and that each one blends into the skin. Typically, this type of make-up is used in films and television shows when it doesn’t need to be duplicated it over and over. If this effect needed to be applied on multiple days, we recommend using a prosthetic appliance instead.

Texture Just prior to the silicone solidifying, we used a MUD Orange Stipple Sponge dipped in 99% alcohol to add texture to the smooth lines. The sponge can also be used to help blend the silicone however, be careful not to smooth out the nice jagged edges.

Cut Sponge In order to apply sealer to the silicone, cut an orange sponge into a small round applicator. We round the sponge to keep the sealer from creating an edge. The sealer will ruin the sponge, so cut just what is needed.

Seal

The sealer is a plastic material that allows us to use regular make-up on many different types of special make-up effects materials. Regular make can be used on silicone, but the silicone is so smooth that the make-up may have a hard time sticking to it. Stipple the sealer on with the orange sponge. Start in the middle of the wound and work outwards, toward the edges of the injury. This will help keep the edges as thin as possible.

We made sure the silicone was well blended so that we are not creating a thick edge with the sealer. Two layers should be sufficient for this type of application.

CFX Wheels MUD’s CFX Wheels, which stands for Character Effects, are cream products used to create a variety of special make-up effects. The products are used to create the redness and bruising.

Bruising We want our female character to still look strong despite the ghastly wound on her face, so we are using a subtle amount of red to create the initial bruising. The bruising could be really black and blue, due to the large size of the injury. However, we wanted it to look like she might be winning. We added maroon into red just as an accent. For the deeper shadows, we used a combination of red and blue for a deep purple color that was applied into the shadows under her cheek bones and into her temple area.

Inside Cuts & Depth With bruising looking very fresh and new, we went inside the lacerations with black. The black is used along the edges of the opening to create separation from the cut to the edge of the skin. This area is filled with a mixture of thick and thin blood, so the black will become extremely subdued.

Add Blood As a final touch, we add blood to the injury. When on set for a film, we would add a small amount of blood to the injury and wait until we are on set to add large amounts of blood.

As with all make-ups, remember to come up with a plan first and never panic. It’s just make-up and we can very easily add to it or take it away. Nothing is permanent.

A School Tucked Within the Walls of a Mansion Ghent – MUD’s 2nd Studio in Belgium

E

ight months, that’s how long it actually took Make-Up Designory to decide on opening up another MUD Studio in Belgium. The first studio opened in Kortrijk (Belgium) in October of last year, but when recieving a lot of enrollments for the PRO I (Level I.) course from nearby cities, it was clear that expansion to a more centered location was needed. On the first day of June, Make-Up Designory Belgium was happy to announce its second opening in Ghent.

Welcome to Ghent We could mention that National Geographic Traveler Magazine has listed Ghent as the most authentic and historic city in the world that’s full of life, or the fact that Lonely Planet has called the city “Europe’s best kept secret and a must-see destination.” We could even boast of the city’s architecture and hospitality, but the true reason is that the major city is accessible to all nearby cities like Brussels and Antwerp while only being a 50-minute drive from the national airport. With the need for a make-up school in the area, Ghent was the obvious choice.

The beginning of a new experience The Open School Day was intended for potential students to come by and ask about the MUD training program, but it soon turned into more than a simple meet and greet.

Exceeding all expectations, the Red Riding Hood themed event took over the city, creating buzz all over town. While visitors were treated to special make-up effects and beauty demonstrations, along with airbrushing, the biggest hit was a surprise performance from a national soul and blues choir.

Over 200 guests were able to speak with MUD instructors and showed interest in the new arrival of Ghent’s new fairytale location.

It’s more than just an education A MUD education is an experience of its own, especially in Ghent. The studio hosts two classrooms, a student shop, photo studio and lounging area for students. Still not impressed? Well check out the school’s Alice in Wonderland garden located near the river, the perfect place during the summer months. You can also take a break with fellow students and teachers at the upscale lounge area.

Products also available Make-Up Designory now has two studios in Belgium, both located in architecturally phenomenal locations for students to enjoy. But for the general consumer, making MUD products available to them is a key component to the success of the MUD Studios. With this in mind, a pop-up store in Kortrijk from September until December makes getting product a unique experience for everyone. Go to www.makeupdesignory.be for details.

Brazilian artist shares his MUD experience Beto França

I

am a lover of academic teaching and was delighted to study and learn more about the art of make-up. With a watchful eye and never-ending curiosity, I seek to learn new and modern techniques and follow those artists in the world who continue to produce work that is so incredibly wonderful. I follow the evolution of cinema and its ceaseless art of

creating and re-creating amazing effects and technology. It was on this quest in search for the “new and current” that struck the impulse to leave my country and to look more closely at what great things there were yet to learn.

In 2005 on a trip to New York, I listed some schools I wanted to visit and the first on my list was Make-Up Designory on West Broadway Street in Soho.

I came to school and found a beautiful girl who greeted me with a big welcoming smile. Not to mention, I hardly knew any English at all. So, with difficulty, I asked if she knew Spanish.

She answered with a beautiful smile, “I unfortunately only speak Portuguese.”

Rita Botelho, the beautiful girl who later became a great friend, gave me a tour of the school and explained the courses and products and the possibility of returning to study. Passionate about what I saw and following through with a goal I previously set, in 2006 I took my first course in Beauty. It transformed the way that I worked and provided a significant career change. Since then, I returned to MUD for a new course and to revisit great friendships built. This year, in 2013, MUD offered me the opportunity to realize one of my greatest dreams in life as a make-up artist; taking a course in special effects, in Los Angeles, the cinema capital of the world.

I prepared myself for almost a year to experience something so special in my life, living in LA for two months and devoting myself exclusively to learning one of the most complex areas of make-up. I have shared nearly the entire structure, the teachers, the direction and its friendly staff who work together to make it possible to provide an excellent learning experience to help students become great professionals.

 Watch: Beto’s airbrush demonstration 

In spite of 20+ years of experience I have as a professional make-up artist and MUD with its philosophy passed through the fantastic teaching staff, inspired me to revise many of my concepts by using the information and technology I learned while modernizing my techniques. It certainly raised my vision as an artist and teacher.

Besides all the learning, I had the opportunity to show some of my work on two occasions: The Makeup Show LA and NY and IMATS. This is where I put all of the practice and knowledge acquired and added to my experience.

I have to thank everyone, especially Tate Holland who gave me this special experience and the honor to meet the entire MUD family and opening the doors for me to experience and understand how everything is so beautifully perfect.

Thank you MUD Family, for the teachings, for this transformation - both professional and personal, for the opportunity to meet you and for the great friendships which we built and solidified, that I keep dearly in my heart and in my memory.

Precious About Make-up

Jan & Kate PAM

We spoke to Kate Benton and Jan Sewell, professional London based make-up artists who are also directors for PAM (Precious About Make-up). PAM is a pro make-up shop based in London who now stock MUD.

Jan Sewell

When did you get the idea for opening a make-up pro shop and when was PAM established?

J. Both Kate and I wanted a “one stop shop” which sold products for both hair and make-up. At the time, the pro shops only sold make-up.

K. We got the idea of opening the shop in 1995 and it took a year to find premises and to organize.

How long have you worked as a make-up artist?

J. 36 years!!

Jožica Avbelj

Bernarda Oman

Milena Zupancic

November 15th, 1951

October 11th, 1959

December 18th, 1946

In her almost 40 years as an actor, Jožica Avbelj has performed in more than 90 theatre plays, over 20 films and in numerous series and radio plays. In 2006, she became a stage acting and artistic word instructor at the Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television in Ljubljana, where she has been teaching since 1996.

After high school in 1981, Bernarda was accepted to the Academy for Theatre, Radio, Film and Television to study stage acting and the art of speech in Ljubljana. She completed her studies with the role of Ekspeditorica and Jacinta in Ivan Cankar’s Scandal in St. Florian Valley under the study of professor France Jamnik in 1985, graduating the following year.

Milena Zupančič has played a variety of leading roles in film and theatre for over 40 years. Among numerous awards, she has been presented with the Pula Golden Arena, Borštnik ring (1999) and Prešeren award for sustainable contribution to development of Slovene culture (1993).

This star actress of Ljubljana National Theatre Drama and UNICEF ambassador still carefully chooses her roles while fans have already considered her an icon of Slovene acting. “If acting is art, being an ambassador is life”, says Milena (source: portal Viva; www.viva.si)

Jožica Avbelj has never, not even in her early performances, played non-serious roles, but has always taken on characters of a complex and complicated nature.

When she was awarded with the Borštnik ring in 2001, Jernej Novak, a theatre critic, wrote: “Jožica Avbelj’s art of acting is fierce and full, always well-rounded into a meaningful whole. It seems that the actress’s life path is also such. This year’s Borštnik gathering, the first in this millennium, started off with a show that launched the first generation of Jožica Avbelj’s students. It is no coincidence that the day’s event was concluded by presenting the ring to an actress, whose art was born for the new millennium.”

Her first job at Prešeren Theatre in Kranj, Oman was a part of the Ljubljana City Theatre ensemble for twelve years.

She has played in around 60 plays, movies and a host of TV drama series.

As an actress she impresses her audience by expressing a whirlwind of emotions raging within each character with little effort, while also playing a range of roles within a variety of genres. Working with different directors, Bernarda’s experience covers numerous award-winning characters.

interviews

“Being an actor is a privilege of nature, especially on stage where it’s very magical and changes you completely. Once you tread on them, you become a new person. Throw away the mask of every day, embrace all your differences, all that you hide and are ashamed of. When the magic is over, when theatre lights turn off, you once again put on your shell to hide your soft and sensitive core.” (Milena Zupančič for Jana magazine, June 12th, 2012)

Jožica Avbelj When we were scheduling this interview, you were quite busy...

In the fall, I will play at least two if not four plays from the last and some previous seasons. I have filmed a short movie with the working title Where and a short TV play. At the academy, we are working on three productions: Maids, Caligula, Chairs (Unesco). In Croatia and Bulgaria we are doing a guest appearance with the theatrical realization of Storm. In Sofia, we will perform Comedy with Women, which is based on Heiner Müller poetry.

Your acting often extends over your national borders. What is your best memory as far as guest appearances or filming abroad?

Acting has given me a chance to visit many countries and encounter various cultures. I have been to Canada, USA, Australia, all over Europe. Memories that I keep closest to my heart are from recent guest appearances. I remember Paris and Napoli, where I played the leading role of Maria Calas from the melodrama Tosca. Director Matej Filipčič received an award for this play. Each country, each audience and each person I meet, leave a mark on me. I like being among people and communicating with them. I would point out Vienna as a cultural capital there is always a lot of artists there, which for me is a special experience.

Best compliment ever received?

At our Tosca performance in France, the first row was reserved for children in wheelchairs.

There was a boy accompanied by his parents. He could hardly sit in his chair and was making a disgruntled sound; he had serious balance troubles. At this point I was already on stage and had already made up a plan: if he continues to feel so uncomfortable, I will take off my flower broche that I had pinned on my dress, give it to him and chat with him a bit during my performance. But, when the play started, he calmed down completely and was at peace the whole time. After the show I met him and he said: “more, more.” This was the greatest award for my job.

Chemistry on stage? That can be a mystery. Is it something that just happens or can it be controlled?

Most of the time it just happens. Like love. But it can be influenced. You get partly prepared for it already at the academy and later in life you just try to stay as open to it as possible. It means you do not judge your co-actor on basis of his acting abilities. You perceive him as a person, a complex personality and take what he offers. I remember acting with a person who hated me. We played a couple who was in love. After the show there were many remarks that it was obvious, how well we got along. When you are acting a strong emotion, it does not matter what it is. This can be used well by acting. Usually, if you get along with the co-actor, the chemistry comes along easily. You only need to be open up and be receptive toward all feelings, positive or annoying. The audience will also feel this chemistry.

Were you drawn to any other career before you decided to become an actress?

I wanted to be a captain of a large ship. I was so sure of this that my father once brought home a mayor and claimed that at the time, Yugoslavian women could not be captains. Despite his professional arguments, I knew he was not telling the truth. I read an article in the newspaper about a woman, who became a captain and made all the news. This was one of my great disappointments. My parents probably had good intentions, since that is a very long and demanding study a very tiresome job.

How much does stage make-up help you get into the character?

It helps a lot. Exploring what make-up should be like is already a part of the process. When the actual interaction with the make-up artist starts, that is when nirvana starts for me, like meditation. When the artist starts working, you connect with the character. Make-up and hair are an important part of sliding into the role as well as during styling.

What does the time in the mask mean to you and that last glance in the mirror before facing the audience or camera?

This means I am ready. There is a new person in front of the mirror. I exit my life and enter the theatre. Usually, I am not rehearsing the script during this. By this time, I am ready for it. It often happens, that director changes the script right before the show. But, since I am already this person, on with the character, I remember it easily.

What are the characteristics of a good make-up artist?

I have met many make-up artists and was really lucky - some of them were exceptional. Her or his hands are magic. I can instantly sense whether the person is interested in me. You can see our connection on photographs. Most of the people in this profession are really great, regardless of the occasion - photo shoot, film, television. At the theatre we are also very lucky to cooperate with professionals, who teach us to apply make-up, so we can do it ourselves.

I see myself through the eye of the make-up artist. This is something most intimate - to let somebody change your image. This change ignites courage in me over and over again.

Make-up is a part of your everyday life on the stage. How much do you use it in your private life?

I used to like it a lot. I still have a lot of it at home and I also carry it with me. But I have realized, I can also feel good without it. It is not about freeing myself, but about loving myself. My face is something special, boring but very grateful. When I wear make-up, everybody notices and is surprised how much it changes me. This makes me happy. I am glad my face responds to all kinds of make-up. I do like myself, so I do not take this boring look as a drawback. I feel great without make-up. I am not one of those who needs to wear it to leave the house. But there are certainly days when I want to dress nicely and apply make-up. I like how alterable my face is. I agree it is chameleonic.

What does it take for a woman to remain attractive at every age? What are your secrets?

There are no secrets, I will tell you everything. It is great if you have a person you love and loves you back. I’ve had this person for 38 years. Mutuality is the key. It is important that you love your job, and I do. Undoubtedly, you must do something for yourself. I have been practicing yoga occasionally, from the beginning. I am not obsessed to the extent of having to do it every day. I do Pilates, tai chi and chi gong. It is important to feel good. The sense of strength and my chi balanced is crucial. Since my health is stable, I am obviously doing something right. Work itself also gives me energy. It does, however, happen that there is a lot of work and sleep is sporadic. This can be exhausting. That is when there are a few stressful days, but with the love I feel for this profession, I get over it fast. The roles you play also give you a chance to cleanse yourself of negative energy. To return to the beginning of my answer - this cleansing reflects in good partner relations. I throw out negative emotions on stage and I come home freed.

You are known for strong, decisive, complex women roles… are these also your off stage characteristics?

I don’t know. I can be really stubborn and annoying, but I can also be very pleasant. I am extremely introverted. Due to my work I have learned to be more open. When I have a chance, I like to be in peace. I like painting. I love travelling, though my husband often has to remind me of it since I really like to stay at home when I have time off. Through the years I have calmed down and have accepted myself completely. Thus, I do not unnerve myself with what others think of me. Just take me as I am. I do not burden myself with as much work as I used to and I do not let anybody else burden me either. I wish to have my own chapter. I plan to still experience a lot, but in my own tempo. I have chosen comfort, which I want to enjoy.

Bernarda Oman Actors are usually very busy. Are you rehearsing for anything now?

June is already semi-holiday for actors and for the first time in 30 years, I’m not rehearsing so this month has been a gift. I have performances and guest appearances and I will travel to Israel, but at the time I am not studying for any new plays, which means I will also be partly free in September. I can’t remember this ever happening to me before. I hope to make the best out of this spare time.

At my age, I am somewhat less busy as I used to be. An actor cannot influence this individually, since directors and artistic directors make decisions about roles. Also, women characters for my age are not in abundance.

Which of your roles, so far, are you most proud of?

It is difficult to choose one, but I can name a few that I really loved to play. These are Yelena Andreevnain Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya, Marianne in Bergman’s Scenes and Emma in Pinter’s Betrayal. For all of these, I can say I am satisfied with what I was able to bring to the performance.

Your acting often extends over our national borders. What is your best memory as far as guest appearances or filming abroad?

I have filmed a lot in Croatia, in Zagreb. I always felt well in the former Yugoslavia, when I was working with, at the time, Jadran film in Belgrade. Unfortunately, since the country has disintegrated, acting in this area has diminished considerably. I was young then and felt I could have still done a lot there.

Chemistry on stage? That can be a mystery. Is it something that just happens or can it be controlled?

It happens, but you have to control it. If it doesn’t, you can always act it out. Sometimes such emotions happen unwillingly. You can fall in love with a co-actor, but you professionally tame it-but this rarely happens.

Have you ever thought about directing? Were you drawn to any other career before you decided to become a theatre actress?

I was never interested in directing, not even today. I was always drawn to everything that has to do with people; psychiatry, social work, health care, working with children. I fulfill these interests through acting. Every character I play, I want to analyze and argue all the states the characters go through. My choice for acting was swift. I was in a circle of young people who suddenly decided to enroll at the Academy (Academy for Theatre, Radio, Film and Television) and luckily, many of us were accepted.

How much does stage make-up help you get into the character?

Personally, a lot. It slowly sets me into the character and guides me to the beginning of the play. It directs me. I can’t imagine coming to the theatre and directly stepping onto the stage.

That would be too much of a switch and I would be disrupted.

To me, stage make-up is the link between my private life and stage acting. When filming, make-up is even more important and lasting because an actors’ look is taken care of by a make-up artist. That gives me time to relax and let my thoughts wander. In the theatre, we often have to put make-up on ourselves.

What does the time in the mask mean to you and that last glance in the mirror before facing the audience or camera?

I have always had a very personal relationship with the make-up artist, so this time means a lot to me. It relaxes me. It is a kind of nirvana, allowing me to concentrate solely on the character and role.

What are the characters of a good make-up artist?

“

Professionalism is most important to me. At the beginning of my career, I worked with the late Berta Meglič – she was a great make-up artist for that time in former Yugoslavia and abroad. She showed me the importance of a great attitude and how to behave in the makeup room. I know that when the make-up starts, I have to take care of her or his work. I only drink with a straw, never eat heavy food, I do not lean my head on anything so I do not ruin my hair… Before the shoot I try to get as much sleep as possible. Berta taught me how to get rid of negative thoughts.

To me, stage make-up is the link between my private life and stage acting.

”

Make-up artists can calm me down and give me confidence. I ask them to look at my shots and comment on them - but of course, only if the artits are good and I trust them. When filming bigger roles, I always relied on make-up artist’s opinions. Even when others thought the take was fine and done and just the make-up artist was not satisfied, I asked to do it again. I could say they took care of me all day and I enjoy having their particular attention.

At shorter film and photo shoots I often meet make-up artists that are not very skilled with little experience. When they don’t bring a comb or cape, it seems very unprofessional to me.

While many artists think they are make-up artists because they know how to apply makeand many of them do, they actually eat away the work for real professionals because they are hired at a lower rate.

Your team however, has completely fulfilled my expectations and gained my trust.

Make-up is a part of your everyday life on the stage. How much do you use it in your private life?

Off stage I use make-up moderately. I hardly leave the house without foundation or tinted face cream. I always define my eyebrows. I find it nice to emphasize beauty with make-up, while not overdoing it. At home, I never wear make-up.

What does it take for a woman to remain attractive and feminine through all stages of life? What are your secrets of graciousness and youthful looks?

There is no recipe. Internal satisfaction and calmness within is key. It is important to remain open and positive and to be able to cope with situations that come your way. The work that I love doing brings me personal satisfaction. Being in a bad mood and ignorance surely doesn’t help.

You are known to have played various character roles. When off stage or camera, are you also so slick in reacting to different situations and adaptive?

My acting profession does not help me in this. Sometimes I’m able to avoid something, other times I don’t. It depends on my daily mood so I can’t really say I knowingly transmit my professional skills into my personal life.

Milena Zupancic When we were scheduling this interview, you were quite busy. Are you rehearsing for anything new at the moment?

In this profession it always happens that suddenly you are so busy you can hardly hold on to yourself and then a calmer period follows. At the moment I am in the busy period. I should not complain. In theatre, I’m rehearsing for a new show, which is to premiere this September. I play with two great Slovene theatre names, Boris Cavazza and Radko Polič. Preparations are quite demanding, due to extensive script. What seems simple at first glance, turns out to be the exact opposite. Same goes for this show. Recently I did a guest appearance with Croatian national theatre in Spain with the show War and Peace. I also worked on some short films.

Actually there is so much acting that I can hardly keep track.

Which of your roles, so far, are you most proud of?

I can’t say because I was lucky to have had many good roles, which I have and would do again the same way. There was one however, that has moved me the most and touched my heart. It was Šeligo’s Wedding, the role of Lenka, simply because everything came together in perfect timing. It was a wonderful role, an extraordinary show and above all, I was pregnant. I was fulfilled as an actress and as a woman during my greatest moment.

Your acting extends over your national boarder. What are your best memories of guest appearances or filming abroad?

In this case, too, I was lucky enough to have worked everywhere. I performed a lot in the former Yugoslavia. I have a hard time remembering all the places I have been to, but I do remember Mexico, Korea, USA and all of Europe. I can’t name my favorite because I enjoyed every place I visited. I am the kind of person who decides ahead to have a pleasant time, no matter where I go and I like meeting new people while getting to know new places.

Best compliment ever received?

One must be very careful with compliments and accept them with a humble attitude. Of course, some are very memorable. A certain Russian critic wrote that a theatre with such an actress as me is blessed. In Mexico, a critic brought a poem devoted to me to a press conference. Praise flatters me, surely. After all, an actor’s profession is not hidden behind four walls.

Chemistry on stage. Is it something that happens or can it be controlled?

I say that it happens and that it can be controlled. I found that who you work with is very important. You know exactly who you have stage chemistry with. You feel when your co-actor has that chemistry with you; he simply suits your skin. There are no rules here. This energy either exists or it does not. It is inexplicable. The chemistry between stage and audience is also important.

How much does make-up help you get into the role?

I used to do my own make-up for a considerable time in my career. That to me was useful, because it was a kind of transformation for me. For the last few years I have had a make-up artist in the theatre. Make-up is even more helpful on film than in theatre. I had a splendid make-up artist, the late Berta Meglič. I have learned so much from her and we had a wonderful relationship. She never missed a single take behind camera and just looking at each other we could tell each other a lot. With her doing my make-up I could slide into my role completely. A few times, the make-up didn’t really work well which is quite unpleasant for an actor. Besides good make-up, the lightning is also important. I often tell young actors they should, more than with the director, bond with the make-up artist and the lightning technician.

What does the time you spend in make-up and that last glimpse in the mirror, before facing the stage or camera mean to you?

The time in make-up is pure pleasure to me. I can read over the script in my mind or with my co-actors, if the situation allows it. It’s also time for me to get calm and concentrate. With my last glimpse in the mirror I make sure my make-up is impeccable. But, it is no longer the time for inspiration; it is the time when I am absolutely ready to face the stage or camera.

What are the key characteristics of a good make-up artist?

A great make-up artist must feel that each face and person is different. They can tell what looks good on someone, cover up the imperfections and make the beautiful features stand out. On the contrary, less experienced artist simply reuse the same methods, which doesn’t make you feel very best. The lack of skill also can be seen if they use the same make-up for both young and older actresses since older skin requires less layers and a more delicate application.

Make-up is part of your everyday life on stage. How much do you use it in your private life?

When you are young, you basically don’t need make-up. It is sad to see young women, covering up their youth and freshness. The older you get, the harder you face the public with a bare face. I at least use mascara. I would point out the Norwegian actress Liv Ullmann, known for her beauty. Still today she defies her age successfully. Without surgeries, which I don’t oppose to under reasonable extent, her special glow still resonates real beauty.

What does it take for a woman to remain attractive at every age?

It is crucial to remain curious; that’s what keeps you interesting. A cheerful face, even when not feeling great, is the key. I have travelled a lot through countries, where people live hard lives. It is wonderful to see them smiling constantly. This attitude positively affects me, too. Every woman should know that later in life, what’s most important is your posture, your attitude and your behavior. She should be mindful of what she accepts and how to divide the world around her.

Film or theatre?

Both are equally interesting. If I really had to choose, I would say theatre, because you can create more. You are the author of your role and are with her at all times, even when the director is already gone. I often say it is rare for a film actor to become a good theatre actor.

There are exceptions, but they are rare.

Have any of the bigger Hollywood productions shown interest in you? Have you ever dreamt of Hollywood?

When I was much younger, films I played in were often presented at big festivals. These opportunities brought on such invitations, but honestly, I had no need to accept them. I had a lot of work, I was not missing anything and I was happy. I never expected circumstances like the Yugoslavia disintegrating to change so much. For us actors, this was a real tragedy.

Suddenly a 20 million audience diminished to 2 million.

You were very well known already at the beginning of your career. How did you cope with this fame? How much has it interfered with your personal life?

I have always felt the responsibility of having been chosen. It was clear to me that at least five actresses want the same role. When the director chose me, I had to justify his trust. I also feel responsible when expressing public opinion. I have never been politically active, but as a publicly known figure, I have never hidden my point of view. I have received some offensive anonymous messages, but you get used to it eventually. I would say I am a people’s person and that I like socializing. Since I am in this profession, I am also ready for people to stop me in the street and usually I like that. Although, sometimes I wish I were invisible - but only sometimes.

CREAM FOUNDATION The Basics: From a sheer natural look to a flawless full-coverage finish, these versatile Cream Foundations are easy to apply and hold up beautifully under the most extreme conditions. Formulated for ultra-smooth blending and application. Find your perfect match and use it alone, or blend colors like the pros to achieve a specific skin tone.

Artist favorite - Bronzer Sunshine I adore MUD Bronzer in Sunshine! The color and texture are just perfect. I always use it to achieve sheer natural contouring, but of course, with more intensive application you can add more drama to every look. And it’s not only about contouring the face, I highly recommend you to try it as an eye shadow. It brings perfect balance with other colors and gives a natural fresh shading. Needless to say, this wonderful bronzer will wake anyone’s face in just a few minutes.

Artist's favorite - Mascara One of my favorite and most versatile MUD products that I use both on fashion sets and clients is the MUD Volumizing Mascara. It is a cream based mascara that adds intensity to the lashes. It’s buildable and creamy texture is perfect for giving the eyes a touch of drama. The most unique feature of this product is its functional tube packaging. The design of the tube allows for the product to be easily squeezed out onto the MUD stainless steel palette for an easy and hygienic application. My favorite way to apply is with the #500 Mini Fan Brush, which easily applies the creamy product evenly from the lash root to tip.

Shortly after the documentary, guests were escorted in to get an up close and personal view of the finished product of his latest work, an Abraham Lincoln bust. Guests marveled at the works of the humble artist that could only express how much he loves what he does for a living.

MUD participated in the festivities by giving the ladies a boost of confidence with a makeover, a tiara and a few products to touch up their look throughout the night.
