who you calling a dummy?

It's my favorite time of year!!  FALL!  You can practically (or literally) feel it in the air...  loads of pumpkin and apple recipes, college football (GO GATORS), wedding season, and of course, HALLOWEEN!  Words cannot express how exciting Halloween is for a makeup artist (especially a trained FX makeup artist).  It's like better than that "better than you-know-what cake"...  Know what I mean?!  Anyways, I typically have my costume planned a year in advance so I can geek out come October.  This year I have been tossing around a few ideas but have yet to commit to anything in particular.  So...  practice I must.  Here is my first attempt (ever, actually) at ventriloquist makeup.  It ended up being a lot easier than I had anticipated and took me less than an hour to complete.  The only thing I would add to this makeup is lashes (top and bottom).  Anyhoo, what are your thoughts?  Like?  Dislike??

gotta start somewhere... sans makeup
getting there...
hard cheek
dummy
just add lashes!



the mess
