1.)
Sheryl begins by applying Topguard to protect model Josh
Martin's sensitive skin. Sheryl says, "It
assists in the general adhesion and facilitates more effortless
removal."
|
 |
12.) The
headpiece was a polyfoam injection with a latex skin. This
was pre-painted with the same techniques and products as the
face.
|
 |
2.)
Using Telesis 4 Adhesive and Thinner, Sheryl lays down one of
five foam latex pieces, sculpted by Sheryl at Matthew
Mungle's Lab, WM Creations.
|
 |
13.)
Viola!
|
 |
3.)
The pieces will reflect the perfecting of Josh's features to bring
him closer to Greco/Roman ideals based on her research. The
first piece alters his forehead/nose area.
|
 |
14.) Studio
shots of Sheryl's finished makeup. Josh
is wearing marble-ized contact lenses supplied by Professional
Vision Care and inserted by Dr. Stacey Sumner.
|
 |
4.)
Sheryl applies Beta Bond as a contact adhesion for the
upper lip area.
|
 |
15.) The
marble-ized sculpture-like cape was made of muslin. Sheryl
tiedyed and soaked it in fabric stiffiner then shaped it
around the shoulder bust at WM Creations.
|
 |
5.)
Sheryl shares information on product, technique and the process
with fellow makeup artists.
|
 |
16.) After
it dried, she painted it with an airbrush and brush using Skin
Illustrator liquid colors and palettes.
|
|
6.)
Sheryl is finishing the Telesis Adhesive application on the
right side face appliance.
|
 |
17.)
Right profile. Sheryl states, "Several squares of
marble, many art books of Greco/Roman statues as well as many
previous museum encounters fueled the creative process."
|
 |
7.)
Sheryl is delicately using a small sponge to apply Beta Bond
on the edges of the appliance.
|
 |
18.)
Back of head. "Josh came to WM Creations to have
his full head cast done, came back for a look-see as to my process
and one more time for a partial test makeup prior to the
show."
|
 |
8.) Sheryl
is now laying in color with Thom Surpernant's Foam Paint Products
which is made with Beta Bond.
|
 |
19.)
A shameless product endorsement! "...And rightfully
so!" says Sheryl.
|
 |
9.) The
colors being applied are a foundation of the continued
"marble-izing" of colors to come.
|
 |
20.)
As his reward, Josh gets to sip some wine like the true Roman God
that he is!! Tobi Britton assists in the removal
process.
|
 |
10.)
Sheryl mixed her own rubber mask grease colors from primary
palettes to compliment the PAX paint colors already established in
the makeup.
|
 |
21.)
Josh experiences a fairly effortless removal process with Super
Solv Plus, chosen for it's gentle qualities on Josh's
sensitive skin.
|
 |
11.)
With small brushes, Sheryl enhances the veins of marble color that
she mixed using the Skin Illustrator palettes.
|
"It was great sharing info, techniques
and product knowledge with Josh, who at this time was a makeup
artist in the early part of his career. He was also a
wonderful model for this project and joked about taking pictures to
a plastic surgeon! Thank you WM Creations,
Josh Martin, PPI and their great products!"
