I am currently working on a production of Disney's Beauty and the Beast as the makeup/hair/wig designer. I am having a blast, but this show is definitely a beast. I have been stressing over how to transform the beast. I did internet and interview research and still couldn't find what I was looking for. Just when I thought that I would have to build a prosthetic piece myself (which I have never done), I found the perfect one on a Canadian website! Woo Hoo-it even has beastly teeth built in! Luckily, the producer of the show is willing to spend money and I can order the piece. Now all that I have to do is learn how to apply it, paint it to match the makeup design, and acclimate the actor to the piece. No problem!
I am also excited about the massive amount of wigs that I have ordered to get the show just right. I was able to order direct from the best company in NY-Lacey Wigs! They should be in sometime this week. Hooray!
Finally, I am using a new kind of makeup for the enchantress and rose. I found the coolest designs by a Canadian makeup artist, Jinny, that I am going to use as inspiration for my own designs. Check out her website at http://www.jinnymakeup.com/. It is so cool.
