Also- i remember reading somewhere, about how much their job has changed since the introduction of high def/blu-ray becasue we can see every pore, they ened to use diff products and techniques. Much lighter obv.
Oh yes... Lu's skin falling off. That was very cool.
I imagine it would be harder these days. It always amazes me how much cut lips and bruises look so damn real. And on a show like this their skills would be put to the test that's for sure.
What a great idea. I got hooked into Syfy's Face Off last year and now have a higher appreciation of their work. Especially when its subtle. I don't know about the other SPN make-up artists (mainly because I haven't looked) but I came across Tamar Ouziel page. I love the close ups the small cuts/bruises - it just impresses me more than some of the more obvious and elaborate fx makeup. It also means you really can't go wrong as every episode has awesome makeup, and fx ingenuity ;)
I was impressed with the spidery black vein work they did on Castiel as he went all Leviathan. Probably not the most sophisticated effect they've ever had to do, but combined with the shuffling, lopsided gait Misha did, it was truly creepy.
And yes, Dean in Faith. All pale and dark eyed. And the consistency of Sam's slowly healing facial injuries in the first 2-3 episodes of S2.
The black veins on Cas would've been CGI and not makeup artists at work. Much in the same way that demons showing their eye color are not always practical contacts worn by the actors. ;)
I can tell you from personal experience that makeup artists are extremely talented. Working on an independent film I got to watch one of these talented folks up close as he created bloody bullet holes and busted up faces to our actors. By the time he was done it looked creepily real.
I'd suggest the car crash aftermath in Devil's Trap and the following eps 2x01 and 2x02. There's so many more but those jumped to mind right away.
Oh yes... they most truly are. I remember doing a theatre makeup course once and I was completely hopeless at it! It's most definitely takes some talent.
And I agree - the car crash aftermath was very impressive. Thank you. I'll make sure to include that. :)
Pic on bod pls - cos curious about size thing. (leave head out, unless Sam-mask applied. Hang on, me looking, so Dean-mask please. With or without "goatie", your choice!) Hey, I am not actin' entitled.

And that TV show looks very cool.
I think it's the subtle work that I love best also.
I think I'll look up the other makeup artists and see what I can find out them. :))
Thanks <3
