The break down an artist comes in different forms, examples include jumping into a shower with makeup on, getting lost in the woods and falling over, drug abuse, weather beaten, and even simply the wearing off of makeup during the day.
In this practical we played around with dirt, dust and stained teeth.
You will need
Grease paint palettes
Stipple Sponges
Brown Hair Colour Spray
Fake Dirt
1. Mix a dirty brown colour using Kryolan Supracolour palette and mix with a little moisturiser
2. Using your fingers dab onto face and blend slightly. Try not to make it so uniform.
3. Mix a grey colour and dab onto the areas which you want to seem most dirty. You can also use a stippling brush.
4. From a distance, gently spray brown colour hair spray. This will give a dirty speckled effect. Keep the product away from the eyes.
5. Throw some artificial dirt onto areas of the skin.
When dirtying down hands, you want to bend the fingers to get makeup in all the creases and get dirt underneath the nails. This will create a most realistic effect.
Using Tooth Enamel
1. Baby bud the tooth dry
2. Paint on the enamel carefully
3. Wait to dry before closing mouth
To remove the coloured tooth enamel, simply dip a baby bud into methyl spirit and wipe over the enamel. A few wipes should remove it all.
When dirtying down an artist you should also dirty down the hair. To make hair appear greasy, comb through the hair with a little pomade. Remember hair gets greasy from the roots.
