#20Time Reflection

So far my project has been going good.  I recently went to the store and purchased some fake blood and gelatin.  Fake blood is a necessity to anything SFX and gelatin is a food product that can be mixed with glycerin and water and make a product similar to 3rd Degree (a professional SFX makeup product).  I started testing the gelatin out and it turned out fairly well.  I made a small bullet wound on my forehead and tried a scar on my cheek.  I've also been experimenting with glam makeup.  I tried Kim Kardashian contouring.  It looked pretty insane at first but then once I started blending it actually looked really good.  I've been very happy with my work lately.  I'm also currently working on an email to one of my biggest inspirations to hopefully be my mentor.  It's been really hard to construct a proper email to her but I'm trying to stay hopeful.  I'll keep working on testing looks and the email and then update the blog.

Intro to my Blog

Hey!  My name is Gracie.  This is my blog for my 20time project.  For my project I'm going to be doing special effects (SFX) make and the impact of makeup on entertainment.  I've always been interested in the gory side of makeup, but I was never allowed to be anything scary for Halloween because I'm the oldest and I would end up scaring all of the younger kids in my family.  I was finally allowed to do gory makeup and effects a few years back and quickly became obsessed.  This blog will be dedicated to my research and expierimentation in this field.
