Maleficent: Make-up for Halloween with your own hands

Two years ago, a magical fairy tale for children and adults - "Maleficent", with inimitable Angelina Jolie in the title role appeared on the screens. The film became the highest-grossing in most countries of the world, and the bright image of the Maleficent was deeply embedded in the minds of young and not very young spectators. After all, it's no secret that the tape with Angelina's participation attracts the audience, first of all, thanks to the unsurpassed play of the actress and, of course, her bright external data.

Angelina Jolie and the image of the Maleficent

Above the image of Angelina Jolie in "Maleficente" worked as a personal makeup artist actress Tony G and artist-make-up artists for the film Rick Baker and Arjen Tuiten. Thanks to them, there was a magical transformation into this winged sorceress.

The actress is the idol of millions, and it is not surprising that her screen image of the Maleficent wanted to try on many people. Such sorceresses began to appear on costumed parties, and also to walk on roads during Halloween.

Rick Baker himself when working on the image faced with some problems. Initially, he planned to make a copy of Disney's Snow White, but the plans changed when Angie was chosen for the role. Her bright appearance had to play its role in the image. Makeup artists drew the main character in several versions - with horns and sharp ears. But Jolie also wanted to change the shape of the cheekbones, make them more pronounced.

This is how this very effective element of Maleficent's appearance appeared. To turn Angelina into an evil fairy, it took three hours.

Peculiarities of appearance Maleficents

For a memorable image, silicone pads on cheekbones, nose, ears, and sharp teeth were used. Initially, they experimented with the prostheses of the forehead and chin, but later abandoned the idea, since I did not want to completely copy the cartoon image. For the same reason, Maleficent's skin is not as pale as on posters, and not as green as a cartoon character.

Maleficenta, whose makeup had many nuances, differed from the originally planned image. Matte shade of the skin was achieved thanks to the concealer "Select Kouver" from "Mac", he is a little paler than the natural color of the skin of the actress. It was applied with the help of a wet sponge, the blush in the make-up was not used at all.

Cosmetics, which made a vivid image

Since the facial parts of the face were attached with glue, Jolie was threatened with skin irritation, because daily use of his face plus a thick layer of makeup heavily clogged the pores of the skin. To reduce the damage caused by make-up, and to prevent side effects, Angelina's face was smeared with Kiehl's herbal lotion "Blue Astringent" before starting the make-up. This is all that make-up artists could do, because otherwise the prosthesis would not hold on to the face. Removed all the makeup with a mixture of coconut and argan oil, which had a calming effect on the skin, nourished it and moistened it. About an hour, make-up artists took off the make-up.

The eyes of the sorceress

During the work on the film, Jolie wore contact lenses, which were developed by a professional in this field by Christina Patterson. Their highlight was that thanks to a special prism the natural colors that were present in the iris of the actress intensified. The colors of the shadows and eyeliner were also matched to the tone and resembled the color of the spilled oil in the puddle.

That's the kind of makeup Maleficent had. The photo below demonstrates it visually.

Lips

Over the lips, too, have worked hard. A lot of lipsticks were tried. As a result, experts chose the lipstick Pro Longwear Lipglass from MAC, in the shade of "Ansurium." It is noteworthy that later it began to enter the collection of "Maleficent" from this trade brand. Lipstick has a real bright red color. In the process of working on the film, about three tubes of the drug were consumed.

Nails and horns

What kind of villain without long, frightening nails? That's right, very doubtful. The Maleficent's nails are painted in bone color on the outside and red on the inside. This two-sided manicure became popular in 2012 thanks to the singer Adel.

The horns of the Maleficent were made specially to order. They were light and attached to magnets, which made it easy to put on and remove this accessory. Especially it was convenient at the beginning of the movie, when the horns grew right from Jolie's hair. Further it became even easier, since the horns were attached to the leather helmet on the head.

Witch Dresses

To the wardrobe of the evil sorceress, such masters as Anna Bie Sheppard and Rob Goodwin put their hands. They were inspired by the exotic and to some extent brutal appearance of the heroine, and created the outfits to match the character. In the suits of Maleficent , some angularity is traced, in many of them large shoulders were provided, and often collars were included in the outfits.

Interesting fact: the film was a dizzying success, so soon after the premiere, stylist and makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury introduced a new line of cosmetics Filmstar Bronze & Glow, which was used to create the image of the Maleficent. At that time the line included two shades of shadows for the contouring of the face. This modest set of 23 dollars cost, but dispersed on hurray. Subsequently, other brands picked up the idea and expanded the list of names. Such a revolution was provided by the film "Maleficent"! Mejkap, like the main character, can be done without problems, buying the right set.

4. To create the legendary cheekbones, Sculpting Powder is used, it is convenient to shade it using a wide brush (number 163). The nose is also adjusted with a brush and powder.

Maleficent's Cheeks

The most important thing when applying makeup is to properly identify the cheekbones. Angelina Jolie has a bad face with rather pronounced cheekbones, and the overhead plates only strengthened the effect. But not all people have the same type of face, and sometimes it takes a hand to learn how to make such cheekbones. Do the rest is not difficult. As for lenses, then, most likely, the exact similarity with the eyes of the sorceress you will not achieve (in fact the lenses only strengthened the original color of Jolie's eyes), so there is no special reason to use them.

Now you are a charming Maleficent, you can safely make such a make-up for Halloween. Maleficent (photo below demonstrates the transformation) will be provided with attention!

How to make famous horns yourself

Of course, the image of the Maleficent will not be complete without the presence of horns. If you try hard, maybe you can find them on sale. But it will be much more interesting and faster to make them yourself. This is not so difficult as it might seem at first glance.

So, to create the horns of a dark sorceress, we need a roll of foil, glue, black insulating tape, black dermantin (optional).

From the foil we make a hat, trying it on our head. Next, twist the length of the foil into a tube, giving it the shape of the horns with bends in the right places. We glue the horns to the base, and in the case of the economical variant, we wrap the entire structure with black insulating tape. Alternatively, it is possible to cover the foil construction with a skin substitute. The second option is more laborious, however it looks more impressive, plus the horns will not be too light, which will prevent the threat of their blowing away by the wind.

Manicure is best done both in the film - two-sided with a red inside. Then you will achieve the closest resemblance to the main character of the film and will definitely become the number one on the holiday!

Supplement it all with a bright warrior outfit with angular shapes, emphasizing elegant female forms, decorate your neck with a cheeky collar or pendant - and you're ready for the party!
