Kryolan: Theatre, fx, halloween and professional make up

kryolanlogo

Kryolan is a brand of professional, theatre and fx make up that I use for my performances. Among all make up brands I always recommend MAC (that we've previously mentioned) and Kryolan. As both have really high quality products, Kryolan is more focused to FX make up. 

Vampire fangs and Monster bites... Realistic fake teeth

scare crow fangs

Another year and Halloween drawing near (hmm that was quite a rhyme)

With True Blood tv series and other vampire movies Vampires seems to be a hot topic again... I'd say a classic, but waves of popularity comes and go and it seems the vampire trend is back. Thus we've decided to make this article about vampire fangs and monster teeth...

Halloween is just "The Nightmare before Christmas"

Tim Burton's "The nightmare before Christmas" is one of my favorite movies... This stop-motion animated jewel released early nineties when I was a teenager. I went to the cinema seven times in a row when it was released just to learn the songs by hear (in those times to find the soundtrack where I was living was a complex task, but finally I found the little precious soundtrack of score that Danny Elfman scored for the movie)... "Oh somewhere deep inside of this bones....!" Yes, this film archieved what looked impossible, to make a charming prince to fall in love with out of a  thin  doll of a skeleton with such a great personality... the mighty Pumpkin King Jack Skellington. A gentle mix of genres, it even had some space for romance, and thus Jack and Sally became one of the most loveliest couple ever.. This movie also showed to the world the spirit of Halloween into countries like mine that have no tradition of it. Years later it started to become a cult movie and gain the recognition it initially deserved...

Who you gonna call... this Halloween? GHOSTBUSTERS!!!

I loved  GHOSTBUSTERS movie when a child (well the first part at least as I felt very dissapointed with the sequel) curiously after so long now that there are rumours of a new Ghostbusters movie on the making...  so somehow these days i've had the tune again in my head and one can imagine that pretty soon they'll be back into fashion... I think they'll work with the original cast... yay for nostalgics like me... raised in the eighties....

Halloween angel or fairy eye make up tutorial

Interesting videotutorial by this girl that holds an entire make up channel in youtube. For the video she's using MAC (professional make up) but it shows at real time speed and you can attempt to make something similar with your own eye shadows and brushes. I think the final effect is really stunning so have fun! Though of course you can use your own make up, the fact is that MAC make up pigments are stunning and I myself have a very sensitive skin, so after trying many make up brands, most of mine is actually from theirs. You can purchase MAC make up here, you won't regret, it's the best make up ever. ENJOY!
