Halloween Makeup Contest - Hollywood Category - QC Makeup Academy

Category: Hollywood Characters

Judge: Azzi Williams

Here’s what Azzi was looking for:

  • Effort: Beautiful detailed makeup that works seamlessly with the hair, costume styling and accessories, creating an overall visually stunning look.
  • Skill: Clean, neat and polished makeup skills, beautiful detailed work, killer contouring and gorgeous, high-pigmented products that capture your Hollywood Character. Of course I’m also expecting those false lashes to be totally on point.
  • Photo Quality: Nice clean, crisp image that is of great quality—something you would see in a makeup artist’s portfolio. Nothing blurred, out of focus or with poorly thought-out backgrounds (certainly no bedroom clutter in the background. And less is more with skin retouching and photoshop—and yes, I will be able to tell!
  • Fun: I want to see the joy, magic and horror you create! Have fun every step of the way!

  • Effort: 4/5
  • Skill: 4/5
  • Photo Quality: 5/5
  • Overall Character Creation: 4/5

Comments: Beautiful, simple and elegant makeup and the overall look is very vintage Hollywood. Love the radiance of the skin and finer elements of the lip application and eyes.

tamara-dixon

Artist: Tamara Dixon

  • Effort: 4/5
  • Skill: 4/5
  • Photo Quality: 3/5
  • Overall Character Creation: 3/5
  • Total: 14/20

Comments: Good detail and excellent styling. The fine lines and pigment application show excellent skill and effort. Brows can be enhanced with blocking and actually gluing on false hair brows. The dash of liner at the edge of each eye either needs to be deepened and blended or corrected with symmetry. Would have loved a simpler back drop to enhance the overall mood of the image.

heather-warner

Artist: Heather Warner

  • Effort: 4/5
  • Skill: 4/5
  • Photo Quality: 3/5
  • Overall Character Creation: 4/5
  • Total: 15/20

Comments: Excellent special effects and not afraid to add the drama and horror to the mix! The overall look is wonderfully horrific. Would have liked to see the left side of the face a little more, and to see it a little more balanced with a more matte and sculpted makeup look.

  • Effort: 5/5
  • Skill: 5/5
  • Photo Quality: 5/5
