| About
Michael:
Michael Fontaine, 14 years old, has been interested in makeup since he
was three. His first viewing of the "Wizard of Oz" sent the child's head
into a tailspin as he strived to re-create the famous characters.
Soon after, Rick Baker's makeups in "Michael Jackson's
Thrilller" had the same effect but even more intensified.

2.) "I
created this prop by sculpting it with Chavant over a copy of a
full head life cast. I painted directly on the sculpture with Tom
Supranaut’s Pax paints and the Skin Illustrator Dark
Fleshtone, FX, and Complexion palette. Most of
this was done by stippling translucent washes on with Ve
Neil’s Small Powder brush. Coral Blue was used for
the hair stubble effect on the top of the head. The eyes as well
as the inside of the mouth were painted completely with the FX
palette." |

3.) "I
applied this makeup to myself for Halloween. I acquired the
appliances from several friends of mine. Tom Supranaut
is responsible for the appliance that covers the upper part of the
face as well as the pax paints. The teeth are from the Scream
Team. I was meeting friends that night so I was
unfortunately limited to an hour for the application." |

4.)
"Using Beta Bond Plus allowed me adhere the
appliances quickly. The adhesive held up all night without a
problem and came off extremely easily with Super Solv Plus
and IPM Gel. The Complexion palette
and The Skin Illustrator Fleshtone and Dark
Fleshtone palettes were also used. I began by painting the
entire face with a dark purple PAX color. Then, I gradually worked up
to lighter Skin Illustrator colors. |

5.) "This is a gelatine witch makeup that I did on my mom. It
consists of a nose, chin, neck, eye bags, and nasal labial folds. I used
Skin Illustrator for the entire makeup except for RMGP around the eyes. The
colors that were used included Lao 1, Vein Tone, Black, and Rice Paper from
the Fleshtone and FX palettes. They were all VERY lightly stippled and layered to keep it translucent. The appliances themselves were adhered with
Beta Bond and removed with Super Solv Plus as well as
Telesis Makeup Remover around the eyes." |

6.) "This is a slush latex half-mask with punched hair. I began with
Tom Suprenant's pax paint and then converted to the Complexion,
Dark Fleshtone, FX, and Alchemy palettes.
Specific colors that I used included pastel yellow, DT Blush,
Midnight Brown, Chocolate, Burnt Sienna, and Iron Red (for eyes)." |

7.)
"This is a fantasy makeup that I did on my sister Nicole. From the Alchemy
palette, I used the colors, Platinum, Sterling, Cobalt, Myan Gold, Iridium
Green, Talos Bronze, and Iron Red. Originally, I envisioned
a metallic face against a surreal background but I didn't think it was possible to create. After several failures of trying to do this with various fabrics
wrapped around her head, I was happy to see it could be done in
photoshop. The actual makeup wasn't digitally altered in any
way." |
