...THE HISTORY OF MAKE-UP...

Before this, i told you about the history of special effect make-up,but now, i want to tell you the history of make-up. 

• From the copper and lead ore that the ancient Egyptians used to create the world's first cosmetics to the scientifically advanced products of today that can do everything from hide pores, smooth complexions, and turn the pale green of your eyes a vivid shade of emerald, makeup has been an integral part of humankind for thousands of years. Over the centuries, women used burnt matches to darken their eyes, berries to stain their lips and young boys' urine to fade their freckles. They even swallowed ox blood in some misguided attempt to improve their complexions. 
• Women throughout history put their health at risk with many of their homemade cosmetics. In some cultures, for example, women used arsenic, lead, mercury, and even leeches to give themselves the pale appearance deemed beautiful in the old days. Thankfully, we've come a long way from the days of using toxic and deadly mixtures to enhance our looks. 
• Today's multibillion dollar cosmetic industry must meet strict government regulations about what it can and cannot include in products and must follow safe manufacturing guidelines. Today, the most serious injury you're likely to receive from your cosmetics is an irritation or a rash from using a product that's too harsh for your skin. Yet, despite decades of safety testing and a safety record unparalleled in many industries, there are many myths circulating about the dangers of cosmetic ingredients.

I LOVE BEAUTY MAKE-UP... :>

This week, we had learned about beauty make-up. En. Fifi showed us the Indonesian style make-up and the simple beauty make-up by using Fifi and Sherry as his model. The make-up was so beautiful with them. This is what En. Fifi had taught us to do on how to get the perfect make-up by using the simple step:

• Prepare the face by clean it using water, so that the foundation can absorb and wash easily.
• Use the toner to expel the oil.
• Use the moisturizer and let let it 10-15min to dry.
• After 10-15 min, prepare the foundation.
• Step: 

1. Chinese + Foundation.
2. Blend the foundation until get the suitable tone color.
3. Put the foundation to the entire face and flatten it.
4. Do the corrective by using white and the foundation.
5. Put the corrective make-up to the certain area at the face such as under eyes, forehead, chin and then blend it.
6. Put the loose powder to the entire face and put it more under eyes. 
7. Do the eye make-up. First, highlight with eyeshadow. Then, put the eyeshadow.

THE COMPARISON OF STAGE MAKE-UP BETWEEN THE WEST AND THE EAST THEATRE PRODUCTION.

WEST (THE KING AND I)

EAST (PUTERI GUNUNG LEDANG THE MUSICAL)

From this two picture, what i can say about their makeup is The King and I production has more attraction makeup from the shading side and the highlight even though the picture is not in the close up way. But, the PGL production has less attraction in shading and highlight even though the picture is in close up way. I can see clearly the face shape both actors from The King And I production. But, what happen to the PGL actors  are opposite. Means, I cannot see their face shape clearly.  Besides that, the lighting that been used by The King And I production was very suitable for their actor. The  lighting of PGL production  was also suitable for their actor, but i stil cannot see the full expression from them. The conclusion is, the theatre production in Malaysia still having problem in makeup department to make the actor or the actress become more realistic on the stage. The problem maybe coming from the makeup material or the makeup artist itself.

2. Squeeze paint onto the desired area.     http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Fake-Blood

MOVIE BLOOD

1. Pour about three quarters as much alcohol-free, water-soluble hair gel as the amount of blood you want. 
2. Add water-soluble motor or radiator lubricant, any brand. This should be semi-opaque and slightly thicker than water. Start off with a very small amount and mix with the gel until it turns watery. 
3. Mix in about half as much red food coloring as there is liquid. Preferably, buy a "super strength" type at a bulk foods store to save money, and skip the cheap, 1 oz (29.5ml) bottles; they look too pink. 
4. Add small amounts of chocolate syrup to make the blood browner, and improve the thickness. It shouldn't be too much like water, but still very dribbly. 
5. Add small amounts of hand sanitizer if you're having trouble with a nice, drippy consistency. Be warned, this easily weakens the mixture. 
6. Check the mix. The final mix should be a little bit thicker than water, deep brownish-red, and about the opacity of milk.

SOY SAUCE BLOOD TO SPLATTER

1. Take a piece of small plastic tubing and force it onto the end of a syringe. Use tape or glue to make this into an airtight seal. 
2. Pour some soy sauce into a cup or bowl and add the red food dye. Add enough to make the blood dark red. 
3. Put the end of the tubing in the cup or bowl and pull back the plunge to suck up the blood. 
4. Use poster tack to clog the end of the tube. Make sure it's well clogged. 
5. Tape this under the clothing and push on the plunger to release a spray of blood.

TOMATO KETCHUP OR SAUCE BLOOD

1. Squeeze 10 teaspoons of ketchup into a bowl.
2. Add 6.7 fl oz or 200ml of water. 
3. Add a few drops of dark red edible food coloring. 
4. Add a teaspoon of corn syrup. 
5. Mix together well, and spoon onto desired area.
