The Fascinating World of Make-Up Artistry

MUD Schools: Preparing Students For

Each year, Make-Up Designory (MUD) schools train hundreds of students from around the globe in a variety of make-up specialties. From day one, students are immersed in the fundamentals of make-up artistry with aspirations of working in the fashion, entertainment or retail cosmetics industries.

The bi-coastal main campuses in Los Angeles and New York as well as the various MUD Studios around the world, give potential artists the experience of a lifetime by training under licensed instructors with professional expertise in film, television and fashion. Through this training, students learn to develop their own unique style, whether it be within the intricacies of prosthetics or the delicacy of beauty make-up.

Accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC), MUD main campuses

are located in the heart of the entertainment and fashion capitals. The LA campus can be found in downtown of Burbank, California, home of some of the biggest production studios in the world, while the New York campus is located amidst the bustling area of designer boutiques of New York.

MUD campuses are each licensed by their respective states. In 2003 MUD’s Los Angeles campus received accreditation from the Accrediting commission for Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC) and was recognized by ACCSC as a School of Distinction. The Los Angeles campus has since received two 5 –year terms of accreditation. The ACCSC has also recognized the school as a School of Merit in 2008 and a School of Excellence in 2013. The 2005 opening of the New York campus lead to accreditation from ACCSC in 2007 and was recognized as a 2009 School of Distinction. 6

MUD New York Campus Relocates To A Historical Address

New York City, the city that never sleeps by defying the night and outshining the day, MUD has now opened their new doors to make-up artists with an upgraded campus. The new address on 65 Broadway, stands high on the 15th floor of the original American Express Building.

Only a half mile from the original site, the new school space allows acco-mmodations for future growth including 2 additional classrooms and a host of amenities. The spacious special effects classroom includes about 954 square feet of workspace for up to 26 students. The entire 15th floor incases the school’s learning space with separate lounges for students and teachers and a beautiful view of the city for inspiration. In addition to the expansion, students can enjoy the upgraded technology enhancements and for easy access, the campus store will be conveniently located within the center of the campus.

Page 8: Mud Art Spring Summer 2015

New York, New YorkNothing beats the glow and energy of New York. The entire city is a playground for a freelance make-up artist and MUD prepares them for such an evolving career. Within the center of the fashion industry, emerging film makers and the everyday consumer keeps a freelance artist’s schedule full of amazing opportunities. On set one day shooting a short film, followed by a bride’s trial makeup session the next day, just before hitting a fashion show on the weekend-is all in a weeks work as an artist.

The city of dreams allows for constant windows of opportunity to network and you never know who you will meet that may change the course of your career. Within the city lights off Broadway lies the MUD campus that not only gives you a team of cheerleaders (otherwise known as Admissions and Career Services), but one can only expect some of the industry’s finest as instructors to help prune their craft. All hidden away on the 15th floor of the historic American Express Building, the new MUD campus offers luxury, inspiration and the tools you need to succeed. So what are you waiting for?The possibilities are endless and your dreams are waiting to be fulfilled.

Recognizing the need of working make-up artists and other industry pro-

fessionals to be able to broaden and increase their knowledge, Make-Up

Designory has created a series of part-time courses. These courses are

held conveniently at MUD’s main campuses, MUD Studios and Partner

Schools throughout the country and internationally.

MUD Studio courses are based on the same great educational method-

ology and teacher training that has helped to make MUD a bedrock in

make-up education. The courses are pulled from the same curriculum that

comprises the longer programs at MUD, but are broken up into smaller

modules. These modules can be taken separately or combined, allowing

the student to transfer their education to one of MUD’s main campuses.

a renewed concept of professional make-up education

Page 11: Mud Art Spring Summer 2015

CertificationsMake-Up Designory has courses and groups of courses to meet just

about any need. Most of the classes below require Beauty Essentials as

a prerequisite. All classes are also offered as continuing education for

make-up professionals. We have developed our courses to build upon one

another, so that students will benefit from the combined materials and the

progressive nature of the curriculum. We have created groups of classes

to illustrate possible combinations. These groups are designed to provide

comprehensive training in various aspects of make-up artistry. Please note

that some classes may not be available at all locations. A Certificate and Card

are awarded for successful completion of any course or group of courses.

Level I Make-Up Artist

Level II Make-Up Artist

Bridal Make-Up Artist

This certification level consists of the following courses:

This certification level consists of the following courses:

This certification level consists of the following courses:

All students completing Beauty Essentials will receive our Level I Make-

up Artist Certification. Beauty Essentials was written as an introduction to

beauty make-up. In this intensive 84-hour course, students learn how to

apply beauty make-up and why we as make-up artists do what we do. We

view these first 84 hours as the bare minimum to learn beauty make-up.

As a make-up artist we need to be prepared for the multimedia nature of

work we are often asked to create. The courses of this certification level start

with the basics and covers the different areas make-up artists are expected

to know as professionals. Areas include fashion, print, film, and television and

bridal make-ups. The completion of the Level II Make-up Artist Certification

allows students to transfer to a main campus program, and may act as a

substitute for Beauty 101: Fundamentals of Beauty make-up.

The bridal industry is constantly growing and changing and we have

created a certification level for make-up artists that have completed this

series of courses. Not only is it necessary to know the basics of beauty

make-up but we must also know how to airbrush make-up and perform

consultations that will give a blushing bride exactly what she desires on

that big day.

study that will best help them reach their occupational goals. For this

reason, prior to registration in an individual course, it is necessary that

plete an individual course.

Make-up in Black and White Photography

Make-up artistry and photography are tightly connected in a way where ideas reach people far beyond belief.

Color photography and black and white photography as a medium differ, something we make-up artists can relate to, as we create an imaginary world for our viewers.

We can achieve magic with color, thus color photography shows the true face of the make-up we choose. Combinations and intensity matter. BW photography, on the other hand, is a beautiful media in which the shades of gray leaves room for the imagination. The image then becomes more graphic and the texture is of great importance. Amongst the shades, everything lighter will seem almost invisible while darker shades bring more of the dramatics. In this case, the color combination is of less importance, but the shading is everything. What viewers may perceive as a red lipstick isn’t always the case.

In the end, the question of whether to use color or BW is dependent on not only the medium, but also the preferences of the photographer and their endless options of camera modes which can take their work to different levels of beauty. The most amazing photos will always be a combination of ideas and the skillful eye of all artists creating it. Stay open and watch the magic appear. 16 Written By: Lara Oven, MUD instructor

“Fashion has always been a huge passion of

mine. I started my own little company when I was

22, about the same time when myfashionblog.be

came to exist. My job in fashion entails all kinds

of tasks: from production to styling, modeling

and personal shopping. My blog on the oth-

er hand is a personal communication platform

where I can share my passion for fashion and

lifestyle. Over the years it has grown into a per-

sonal fashion diary where I share everything from

my collaborations to interesting fashion labels I

discover and my own outfits. It’s aimed to be an

inspirational platform”, Emma explains.

‘A blogger is not necessarily an influencer’Myfashionblog.be was one of the first fashion

blogs in Belgium. “I was one of the Belgian pi-

oneers when I started in 2007. Back then I no-

ticed that people didn’t always quite understood

what exactly it was that I did”, says Emma.

Over the years, blogs have gotten more credibil-

ity and are a worldwide known phenomenon, al-

though that also has its disadvantages accord-

ing to Emma: “ Due to the massive explosion

of the blogs, it’s also harder for labels to find

the right quality platform for their brand. I feel

that everyone is free to do what they want, but a

blogger is not necessarily an influencer. Anyone

can start a blog, but not everyone brings profes-

sional and unique content that reaches a wide

audience in a way that inspires them.”

It’s all about fashionEmma’s day to day tasks are a variety of things,

but the core business is always fashion. For

example: on Monday she could be doing a

personal styling for which she goes from city

to city trying to find the perfect looks for her

customers, and on Tuesday she could have

a photo shoot for a brand of which she is the

ambassador for. “Or I could do a whole day of

production for a fashion campaign or show. It all

falls within the same story but at the same time

it’s very different, which makes it interesting”,

Emma elaborates.

Page 28: Mud Art Spring Summer 2015

A big part of her job is working together with brands. “For

me, it’s very important that I only represent brands that come

natural to me, brands that I already know and love. I will nev-

er work together with a brand that doesn’t fit my identity or

personal style, no matter how much money is involved”,

Emma explains.

“I believe that is also the difference between a blogger

and a model. As a model you’re hired for your looks, as

an influencer they want you for your identity. I want my

personality to fit the vision of the brand I’m representing.”

In the majority of the time, the labels come to her because

they want to work together. “I don’t do actively pursue

those collaborations but I make sure, through my blog and

pr, that they know what I’m working on. The combination

of clear communication and an elaborate network lead to

these partnerships.”

‘My partnerships are always long-term’Emma has done a lot of collaborations with national and in-

ternational brands. And it doesn’t always have to be about

fashion. “Working together with Starbucks was very exciting,

because it’s a very strong international well known brand. It

was also interesting to work together on the campaign and

to provide my ideas and input. It’s always challenging if I can

do more than just model, so I prefer partnerships where also

my creative input is wanted.”

“I also remember the private shopping night for Agent Provo-

cateur, a high fashion and cool brand to work with, and my

ambassadorship for Ranger Rover was a beautiful collabo-

ration too.”

Another highlight was to be chosen as supertalent by the

Dutch brand Supertrash and of course her collaboration with

Page 29: Mud Art Spring Summer 2015

Make-up Designory. “We produced and styled a video to-

gether and now for their magazine too. That’s what I like most

about my partnerships, they are almost always long-term.”

Why Make-up Designory?“MUD is truly an expert in the field of make-up and special ef-

fects make-up. They’ve been working on a very beautiful story

and I’m just happy I can be a part of it. I’ve always liked brands

that really know their field and stick to what they’re best at.

They have a lot of expertise and their products are really good.

That’s the main reason why I love MUD”, Emma explains.

Her biggest project so farIn the blogging business, it’s very hard to predict what’s

coming next. “My personal goal is to always keep im-

proving and to get better at what I do, but other than that

there is no real scenario that I follow. I make sure that

every partnership leads to a successful result and I try

to bring perfection to everything I encounter, but after

that it’s out of my hands. That’s what I like most about

being an entrepreneur, I have no idea what’s coming next

but that’s makes it interesting and keeps me sharp. I like

being my own boss.”

What she does know is coming ahead, is her baby since she’s

pregnant for the first time. “It’s been a challenge combining

my pregnancy with my job, but it’s also just another part of

who I am now. This pregnancy may have closed some doors,

but it has certainly opened new ones and I’m sure new oppor-

tunities are right around the corner. That’s just how life goes

and as long I can keep doing what I love I have absolutely no

problem with that.”

Women of Latin, African,

Middle Eastern and Asian

heritage are beginning to

find more complimenting

shades in some of the main-

stream department stores

and perfumeries around the

world as diversity becomes

celebrated more often by

beauty brands. Even so, the

support of choosing the right

shade and undertone has

been hit or miss with many

women simply settling for a shade that is closest to their skin

tone without the full satisfaction of the perfect match.

While most major cosmetic companies offer a limited pal-

ette of foundation, blush and lipstick shades for all women to

choose from, it only appeases a handful. Non-Caucasian

customers make-up a strong percentage of sales along

with the need for a wide variety of shades. Accord-

ing to Susan C. Taylor, M.D., Director of Skin of

Color Center, those of African descent are

known to have over thirty-five different

skin hues or shades alone.

Another issue for women of differ-

ent shades of beauty, is natural,

uneven skin tone and discol-

oration. From dark patches

around the mouth and eyes,

certain skin conditions, to

the result of past scarring,

brown skin naturally

many hues throughout

the face.

Foundations Foundations are used

to even out the skin

tone for a smooth can-

vas. The key is to en-

hance, not cover up the natural glow of the skin. Because

choosing the correct color is so crucial, be sure to test the

product on different areas of the face. Natural lighting should

give you the most realistic view without washing out the true

life and complexion of the skin.

There are a variety of foundations available such as liquid,

cream and powder products, just to name a few. Choose

the best type of product based upon

your desired coverage, skin

type and environment.

Changing from a cream

to a liquid foundation

when the weather gets

warmer is also a great

idea for all women.

While finding the shade that is closest to your skin color

is important, it’s also important to point out the general

undertone. The undertone is the underlying hue that mod-

ifies the overall tone, giving a richness to the skin color.

Women of color have a greater variety of undertones such

as yellow, orange and red, but some also have an olive or

blue undertone as well.

“Be mindful that applying a foundation that matches the skin

color but not the undertone can make the skin look grey or

pink,” says John Bailey, one of the founders of Make-Up

Designory Cosmetics. Another mistake that some major

brands make when catering to niche markets within their

secondary beauty lines, is that they overdo it with adding too

much of an orange or red undertone to their products, which

can also look unnatural.

Once you’ve selected a shade or the perfect blend of two,

keep in mind that your skin may change shades through-

out the year or in different environments and may require

a few adjustments.

ConcealersThe purpose of concealer is to camouflage areas that may

have discoloration from a blemish or hyperpigmentation in

areas such as the forehead, under eye, mouth, and chin.

When concealing dark discoloration, trying using a highly

pigmented shade with orange like the Deep Brown Correc-

tor. Mix a small amount into the foundation to create the

perfect base tone relationship by canceling out the color of

the discoloration.

The consistency of concealers are much higher than foun-

dation so a little goes a long way. Using a brush, damp

sponge or your finger helps to set and blend the products

into the area.

Aside from foundations and concealers, the need for more

concentrated pigments in make-up in order for the color

to show up on the darker skin shades for the eyes, lips and

cheeks have also changed the way products are devel-

oped. Brands are realizing that great packaging is half the

battle. Such products must also carry enough weight that

it shows up on the skin naturally without appearing too

bare or distracting. In addition to the concentration levels

of make-up, the color ranges have now extended outside

of the simple neutral shades, to more hues that show up

on the darkest of skin tones beautifully without making the

skin look dull and grey.

Two-Tone LipsAnother common issue for women of many hues is the natural

distinction of two completely different shade of the lip with a

darker shade on top and a lighter, more pink or reddish shad

on the bottom. This however, doesn’t call for two shades of

lipstick to get an even-toned look. Simply fill the lips with a lin-

er to help even out the different tones or apply a small amount

of foundation to the lips before applying the lipstick.

Natural Blushing BeautiesJust the right amount of blended cheek color can be

used to warm the face and emphasize the cheekbones.

They come in several forms such as powders and cream,

along with a wide variety of colors. Selecting a shade

should be based upon your own personal style and the

look that you want to achieve. Don’t be afraid to try col-

ors outside of the range that you are used to and it may

surprise you how flattering neutral shades such as a

bronzer may look on your skin.

When it comes to looking your best, it starts with feeling con-

fident that you’re wearing the most complementary shades

to enhance your true beauty. Don’t be afraid to ask questions

or be particular about what you want in order to get the radi-

ant, healthy glow that you carry inside.

MUD products allow for countless skin tones to be created

because the foundations are based on both the skin color and

undertone, with the ability to combine shades effortlessly for

the perfect fit. For those looking for efficient coverage along

with a smooth finish, simply blend the Cream Foundations

and the HD Air Foundations together. MUD’s vibrant shades

of eye, cheek and lip colors not only give a wide range of color

options, but the highly pigmented shades last all day.

When it comes to creativity, only a brand that was created by

make-up artists can provide multi-functional products for a

diverse market without surrendering to quality.

DeLaney Henry has the spunk of a southern

belle and the hands of Picasso. Whether she’s

getting a bride ready for her big day or a beauty

contestant ready for the stage, DeLaney is there

with a brush in hand to make it all look easy. The profession-

al make-up artist now lives in Nashville, Tennessee, home of

musicians of many stripes, but the original home of Country

Music. Busy with both brides and celebrities, DeLaney enjoys

the joy of transformation on her clients every single time.

After touring five schools in California, she made the decision

to attend MUD and never looked back. “Everything about the

experience was great. From the staff to the teachers, to the

other students. I learned more than just make-up. I learned

what it was to be a profession at every setting and to always

strive to learn more.” the owner of You’re Flawless tells us.

Graduating from the Journeyman Program, Hair Styling

course and Airbrush course, the artist with a Public Relations

degree decided that she would trade in a job in a cubicle for

a job on-set, any day. “Some of the celebrities I have worked

with are: Dean Cain, Betsey Johnson, Lance Bass, Haylie

Duff, John Rich, Kristina Guerrero, Marilu Henner and Rocco

DiSpirito. While I have had a great time with each one, some

of my favorite people to work on are women who never get

their makeup done because they can be so amazed at the

transformation that makeup can achieve. Sometimes that al-

lows them to be more appreciative then people who have to

get their makeup done for their job every day.”

DeLaney strives to continue to learn and grow in her artistry

and her next big step will to obtain her aesthetics license so

that she can take her skills as an artist to the next level, with

hopes of one day opening up her own location to offer a

variety of make-up related services.

What’s her best marketing tool for her business? “Word

of mouth has always been one of the greatest marketing

tools for any makeup artist. However nowadays social

media is a huge part of being a freelancer. While I tried

to flight it in the beginning, I have slowly embraced social

media and used it to gain new clients.” admits DeLaney.

With IMATS just around the corner in major cities around

the world, the buzz surrounding this huge industry event

is deafening. To give you an idea of how big, let’s just

say 10,000 tickets were sold and over 200 vendors will be

present at most shows. The show offers excellent make-

up educations classes taught by the industry’s best, live

on-stage presentations, special make-up effects demon-

strations, show-only offers by the best make-up brands,

Battle of the Brushes student competition and more!

How did something that was just a “trial” become so popular?

Last night, when Deverill Weekes interviewed Michael Key,

make-up artist and the man behind IMATS and Make-up Art-

ist Magazine, we got a simple answer: There was a need for it.

Michael is a musician who was caught in a twist of fate.

When asked what started his career in make-up, he replied,

“music was my first love, but it wasn’t taking. I’ve always

loved movies, and I came across ‘Cinefex’ a magazine that

covers behind the scenes movie make-up. It had a step-by-

step on how to sculpt, and I thought, `I could do that’. So, I

went to a hobby store, purchased plaster and clay and did

everything wrong.” It turns out, that after 7 weeks, he suc-

cessfully sculpted a head. He and his friends used it as a

prop to scare people. Then, he got his friends to pitch in to

purchase foam latex, so they too could have their own props.

Project after project, Michael was able to make somewhat of

a portfolio, although, he credits his “gift of gab” for getting

him his first make-up effects studio job.

Michael’s make-up career includes five Emmy Award

nominations, and two wins for Star Trek: Deep Space

Nine. His make-up credits include Indiana Jones and the

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Planet of the Apes, How the

Grinch Stole Christmas, Charmed, Batman and Robin and

more. (IMDb: Michael Key)

Deverill asked, “Who were your heroes and mentors?” With

no hesitation, Michael names Michael Westmore, Jack

Dawn, Christopher Tucker, Jack Pierce, Rick Baker, and

Dick Smith. He credits Michael Westmore for teaching him

lessons you don’t learn in a text book, like how to work with

a producer and how to present yourself as a class act. He is

grateful for Dick Smith for agreeing to be a part of the first

IMATS stating that because of Mr. Smith, it was a success.

During Michael Key’s early career, he noticed that there

weren’t enough resources for aspiring artists. Everything

he learned was from trial and error and knowledge shared

by his peers and mentors. Because this knowledge was so

valuable, he was inspired to get it in writing and thus Make-

up Artist Magazine was born. He admits that he’s shocked

it went beyond the first three issues, but today we celebrate

over 100 issues of an amazing publication that keep artists

informed on industry news.

Venice shimmies up my forearm

and a sighing Venetian crosses a bridge.

In summer, when gondoliers pole

black boats through stone canyons,

pushing down on fathoms of muck,

you sink into a spell, surging

around the cloud-colored city

on this wave and that.

Then Venice wears you,

a swinging bauble of glass and light.

Contour the crease and bottom lash line with Smoked Saphire Eye Color. Extend the color out, adding a lift to the outer corner, then blend softly.

To open the eyes, apply Dulce De Leche Eye Color using the #400 Narrow Flat Brush in the inner corners of the eyes.

Complete the look by applying two layers of Just Peachy Lipstick. Use the #930 Corrector Brush for a precise finish.

Mix Face Primer and Deco Eye Color on the palette to create a cream eye color. Apply onto the entire lid with a #300 Shadow Blender Brush.

Define and illuminate the cheekbone by applying Spanish Gold Eye Color with the #510 Duster Brush. For lighter skin tones, repeat this step for an even more intense bronzed tone.

For more intense color re-apply Deco Eye Color with #350 Shadow Fluff Brush. Tap lightly to add more layers.

Combining Dulce De Leche and Spanish Gold Eye Colors, use the #320 Oval Shadow Brush to highlight the brow bone. Extend to the outer corners of the brow.

Growing upI spent most of my childhood in the hospital correcting a

congenial abnormality of the urinary tract. I had 14 surgeries

from 4-14 years. I fell in love with make-up transformation

when I was 8. I developed an early intrigue of gore and mon-

sters and a wild imagination. I always tinkered with make-up

and went to a lot of art classes. No internet back then, so it

was all books and videos until I found Hollywood Film School

in my freshman year of college, which was run by Sandra

Burman. I learned basic make-up effects skills (enough to

get my foot in the door as an assistant). I was 18 when I left

college and started working for John Buechler at MMI. I have

many people who gave me a chance.

Entertainment industryThe first memory of the entertainment business was prob-

ably watching films. But 1981-1984 were the years when I

realized that people did make-up effects for a living. Clash of

the Titans, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Dragonslayer, American

Werewolf in London, Thriller, and The Thing we’re out in the

theaters. I saw Raiders 14 times in one summer.

CareerI peddled my very mediocre little books of pictures to

some of the make-up effects studios-MMI, Boss Films,

MEL, Chris Biggs. John hired me in the fall of 1986 to be

a shop runner. Because he had a high turnover of films,

John gave me a chance to do foam running, life casting,

and mold making-even a little sculpting. I couldn’t believe

I was doing what I’d always dreamed of! I had the most fun

and learned so much.

Heros and mentorsRick Baker and Rob Bottin. I never worked for Rob, but I did

get to work for Rick for about a year. I also was a big fan of any-

thing make-up effects. I still am! I get stupidly excited about it.

Clint EastwoodMy friend Tania McComas worked for him for years and I

was given the great pleasure of being the key make-up artist

on three of his films. Tania let me run the makeup effects and

gag unit on Flags of Our Fathers. It was very challenging and

rewarding. He’s a lovely man. You have to really be on your

toes because he only does one or two takes. I have had a

few times where he would stand over my shoulder and tell

me while I was throwing blood on an actor, “No pressure, but

you have to get it right on the first take.”

Eryn Krueger Interview

Written By: Deverill Weekes and Juliet Landau

Eryn Krueger Mekash has 28 years of television and film industry experience as a make-up artist and is diversified in beauty, make-up effects and design. Her credits cover a wide range of productions, including department heading Eat Pray Love,

Whip It!, My Sister’s Keeper, Running With Scissors, and Alpha Dog. She also headed tele-vision series Glee, Nip/Tuck, Sabrina The Teenage Witch, Everybody Loves Raymond. Cur-rently, she is the department head for FX’s anthology, American Horror Story.

Ryan Murphy on Nip /Tuck, Running with Scissors and American Horror StoryRyan Murphy is the make-up artist’s dream boss. It will be

my 12th year on his projects. I am so grateful for the incredi-

ble opportunity to continue doing such cool films and televi-

sion shows for him. James MacKinnon brought me on Nip/

Tuck the first season and left after the 4th or 5th episode,

and he had me take over his position as Department Head

then. Ryan’s genius and love of not only glamour but gore

and all things scary make for an awesome 12 years. I’m al-

ways surprised by what he comes up with and we have a lot

of similar references, since we are about the same age. He

truly loves make-up and its importance in storytelling.

Prosthetics & beautyI still do a lot of prosthetics-I just realized after about 4

years in the shops that I wasn’t going to get on set making

molds. I started breaking away for lab work and doing small

make-up jobs and working occasionally for Rick Lazzari-

ni and Rick Stratton doing hair and finishing work. I tried

not to do mold making and concentrated on lab work that

would benefit application. I realized that I was a good beau-

ty make-up artist, and that I was capable of doing both. On

the first show I department headed (only because I was the

only person on the whole department) I did everything. This

was pre-union days. I was 23 and going between work on

General Hospital -I did beauty there as well as most of the

prosthetic work. I learned how to do really big make-ups

-and branching out to do small indie films. That has carried

over to the rest of my career to this point. I run both aspects

of make-up on the shows that I do.

Best workI guess a good representation of application work would be

American Horror Story. In Asylum, we did an old age make-

up on Sarah Paulson. She was playing a successful, Barba-

ra Walters type, so she would be an upscale, put-together

woman with a facelift and lovely beauty makeup. It was very

challenging and was a successful make-up. Also, Ange-

la Bassett’s make-up this season included a period beau-

ty make-up and prosthetic breasts everyday. I enjoy being

involved in character development and figuring out how to

make ideas a reality.

Code you live byI think the code I live by is something in between “try and

have fun everyday” and “suck it up, buttercup!”

THE BEST ADVICE I HAVE EVER BEEN GIVEN IS,

“GIRLS SHOULDN’T BE DOING MAKE-UP EF-

FECTS”. IT JUST MADE ME TRY EVEN HARDER.

I HAVE BEEN NOMINAT-ED FOR 23 EMMYS AND

ABOUT 6 GUILD AWARDS. I WON FOR “THE NORMAL

HEART” LAST YEAR. IT WAS MY FIRST WIN! I

PASSED SUSAN LUCCI’S AND ANGELA LANS-

BURY’S RECORDS FOR “MOST LOSSES” BUT NOT BILL MAYER. HE’S BEEN NOMINATED 36 TIMES

AND NEVER WON.

Did you expect Wasbar would have lead to all of this when you opened the first one in Ghent? Dries: When we started, we always had the goal to open

at least three establishments, but we didn’t anticipate ev-

erything else, that has happened since then. The first book

was a result of our day to day observations in Wasbar. We

noticed that a lot of people often had no clue when it came to

basic household knowledge. That’s how How To Get Along

came to life. We already had a small chapter dedicated to et-

iquette and manners but we felt that there was still so much

more to tell so we decided that that would be the base for

Mind Your Manners. We also noticed - in the social contact

we have during the day - that a lot of people are agitated by

the way we interact with each other. The result is a book that

basically discusses all sorts of ways to have good manners

and to interact in a polite way with other people. It’s not as

easy to sell as the first book, because the subject is a little

more delicate, but with 5000 copies sold so far, we definitely

consider it a success.

Mind Your

Manners A simple and hilarious guide to etiquette

Written By: Renske De Maesschalck

The Belgian marketing duo Dries and Yuri are very busy bees. They run their own marketing agency, have successfully introduced their Wasbar concept, and have written two books with a third on the way. A couple of years ago, Dries en Yuri opened the first Wasbar es-tablishment, a unique concept where you can do your laundry in a hip and relaxing atmo-sphere. No horrible lighting, but delicious drinks, free wifi, and a cozy bar to wait until your laundry is clean. Today there are three Wasbar establishments. Their first two books are Mind Your Manners and How to Get Along.

Mind Your Manners is more extravagant when you consider the images. How did it feel to be the star of your own book?Yuri: After How To Get Along we realized the importance of

quality images. In the first book, we only had some shots of

us, but there wasn’t really any professional styling or make-

up. Since we’re a big fan of La Chapelle, we decided to use

his style as an inspiration for the pictures in our second book.

We really wanted to highlight the images and let them jump

out. It definitely was an experience to do all those photo

shoots and be at the center of attention.

Dries: We also thought that the images would be able to

lighten the mood a bit. When we started Mind Your Man-

ners, we were afraid that it would be a little too formal for

most people. Afterwards, we were able to integrate some

humor in the text, so that really wasn’t a problem. But the

images definitely had their purpose.

Yuri: The opinions have been interesting to hear. Some

people love it, some people think it’s too much but we‘re

very happy with the result. We now fully realize how im-

portant it is to work with a make-up artist. The make-up

really takes your pictures to a whole other level. It was

also very pleasant for us to work with such a profession-

al team. There was a very nice atmosphere on set during

the photo shoots.

Dries: During the shoots, we worked with a very small

team: me and Yuri, the photographer and of course

Lenny, our amazing make-up artist from MUD.

How did you meet?Dries: We already knew Gianni Van Dort and we

knew Make-Up Designory but we had never worked

together. When we started working on Mind Your

Manners, we contacted him and he introduced us

to Lenny Van Eccelpoel.44

Page 45: Mud Art Spring Summer 2015

Lenny: I was following a course and the school sent

us an email with a possible assignment for us to do.

When I read the briefing, I immediately knew I wanted

to get on board. It was very nice to work with Dries

and Yuri. They both knew what they were doing and I

learned a lot. It was the first time that I had to do this

kind of make-up, so I really had to push myself but I

loved every minute of it.

Why the passion for make-up?Lenny: It’s a passion I discovered later on in life. A cou-

ple of years ago, my mom had to attend a wedding but

wasn’t feeling so great about herself. I did her make-up

and saw how her attitude completely change. I soon

realized that I loved the feeling of making people feel

better about themselves, so I decided to take a course

and try it out. Three years later, it has grown from an

interest into a passion.

What do you like about MUD?Lenny: I followed two courses: Beauty Essentials and

High Fashion. I definitely want to do some more. I like

their personal and professional approach. I immediately

felt at home there. The teachers provide us with a lot

of constructive criticism, and they also offer interesting

internships and job offers. That’s how I landed this as-

signment that opened a lot of doors for me.

Finding the

Perfect Lip Color

Knowing the chemistry behind the formula will help you deter-

mine what type of lipstick to choose to best suite your needs.

For example, MUD’s Satin Formula is a non-drying matte fin-

ish, which has more pigment and less vehicle. This is great for

mature clients that have texture around the lip area. The Sheer

Lipsticks, are more emollient yet are still rich in pigment. These

lipsticks are wonderful if you are looking for a long lasting lip

color with great coverage and a semi-gloss finish.

Here’s a much asked question: What is the best lip col-

or for me? Well, there are many factors and theories in

choosing a lipstick color. It could depend on eye color,

cheek color, undertone of your skin, time of day, season,

color trends and lip shapes.

If you’re using color theory to find a lip hue that draws

attention to both eyes and lips, use a color that compli-

ments your irises.

• For green eyes, try a color that fits in the red fami-

ly, such as Lady Bug, Flirt, Burlesque, Pink Twinkle,

Blackberry, Eggplant and Charm.

• If your eyes are blue, use a lipstick with an orange un-

dertone such as Pink Twinkle, Charm, Flirt, Lady Bug,

Blackberry, Burlesque, and Eggplant.

• Brown is a neutral color, so you can use colors with a red

or an orange undertone.

Another theory, is keeping the cheek and lip in the same col-

or family. First, find the warmth in the décolletage area and

match it with a similar cheek color. It will be either a cool pink

or warm orange undertone. Next, choose a lip color in the

same family but in a darker shade.

Once you decide on a cooler or warmer undertone, it’s time

to choose a shade. To keep it safe, the shade can be de-

termined by the time of day, season and lip shape. Usually

a softer shade is used during the day for a more natural

look. A darker shade is normally played up at night to draw

attention in dim lighting.

Seasonal trends are also a big factor. Spring and summer

color trends are lighter shades and bolder colors such as

Pink Twinkle, Charm, Flirt and Idol. During the fall and winter

months, you tend to see deeper shades like Stargazer, Rus-

tic, Havana and Blackberry.

Another element that you may consider when choosing a lip

color is the size of your lips. If you have thin lips, and don’t

want to draw attention to them, choose a color that is within

your natural lip color such as Rose Clay, Just Peachy, Charm

or Pink Twinkle.

Playing matchmaker for the perfect pout isn’t easy, but with

a little practice and experimentation, you’re sure to find the

best shade to match your mood.

Lip color is the last step in completing a make-up application. If the lips are done properly, it will create balance and tie all the elements together to achieve a beautiful look.

A Perfect Dayphotography by Peter Giodani

Wearing a tiara, gown, veil or a fresh white flower in

her hair, throughout the ages and different cultures

The Bride will always be the princess of the day. Our

bridal fairy tale takes place in the extraordinary Flanders

Opera in Ghent, where three magical banquet halls

have hosted Mozart events throughout the centuries.

We captured this magical moment with the bride in her

dream dress lightly touching her knees and her hair

embracing her natural beauty. On her eyes there is a

sparkle of Spanish Gold with a classic winged liner using

Black Cake Eyeliner, enhancing the joy in her eyes. Her

lips have a hint of innocence with Just Peachy, and her

cheeks are Glow-ing with excitement as she patiently

waits for her prince charming to take her on a journey of a

lifetime. Naturally soft with sometimes a hint of character,

the face of the blushing bride translates into a timeless

beauty that will never be forgotten.

Jordu Schell

Boutique Mask MakerThey say what doesn’t kill you makes you

stronger, but in the case of Jordu Schell, what

frightens you, makes you create an imagination

of your own. At a young age, he gasped at an

image of someone being chased in a movie and

his mother quickly shut the television off. Fearful

and curious, the artist-to-be was then left to

imagine what the creature looked like.

His curiosity continued as he began experiment-

ing with masks during his youth, landing him at

a tradeshow in Chicago where he was the first

boutique mask maker showcasing his works.

The rest is history.

With such credits as Alien Resurrection, Men in

Black,  Avatar  and Edward  Scissorhands,  this

industry vet has 30 years of experience in paint-

ing, sculpting and designing. You can find him at

work in his studio in Chatsworth, CA. His lovely

and talented assistant Emily Deroski helps with

sculpting and her attitude of just showing up to

do whatever is needed for the day is admirable.

Plus, she’s great with auto mechanics which

adds to her cool factor.

So what makes an awesome character? Ac-

cording to Schell, a well-crafted piece with an

expansive imagination of form really brings it

home. His advice for an artist looking to be taken

seriously in the industry is quite simple: Be pre-

pared for whatever opportunity comes your way

with a website, business cards and a knack for

networking that shows your genuine interest in

what you do. “You’re not entitled to anything and

the world owes you nothing,”- great advice from

the guy from Philly that learned to love horror

films in a way that has shaped his career.

MUD Students and Grads Prep Models to Rip the Runway

LA Ankara FestOnce again, the Ankara Fest in LA did not disap-

point their audience with a new showcase of de-

signers from all over the continent of Africa. Held

at the Balasco Theater in downtown LA, MUD

students and graduates polished off the vibrant

designs with a flawless, dewy face on each of

the 50 models with a pop of color. MUD’s As-

sociate School Director and Admissions Advisor

Jarrell Mosley took over the red carpet as he

interviewed with the talented writer/producer/

director Issa Rae.

This year’s line-up included  Nubi Collections

(Ethiopia, Sudan),  Kahindo Mateene  (Congo

DRC), Edentity by Nionekaly Ba (Senegal), Erica

Varize (Uganda, California),  Chidex Designs

(Nigeria), Christina Lowanga,  Ankara Fashion

sand Dewan Apparel.

Other thriving organizations sponsoring the

event such as The Red Pump Project, Royal Dy-

namite and TOMS, brought even more value to

the show by talking about the effects that fashion

can have on the community in ways that it needs

it most. Erica Varize and her husband provide

sewing camps to girls in Northern California and-

sponsorships to villages in Uganda, while Royal

Dynamite provides educational materials to chil-

dren in need whenever a shirt is purchased. The

Red Pump Project helps to spread awareness of

HIV/AIDS through shoe fashion in several major

cities in the US.

Thanks to the direction of Peter Lentini, Dunnie

Onasanya and the entire AFLA management

team for your partnership and friendship. MUD

would also like to thank the  MUD students

and graduates  for your efforts that were pro-

fessional and simply amazing! Maria Iglesias,

Michele Yusufi, Tory Williams, Jennifer Ibarta,

Dakota Sachs, Liat London, Adriane Reynolds,

Kia Robinson, Dannielle Boyd, Meghan Helms,

MUD Symposium The MUD Symposium welcomed MUD Partner

School instructors to the MUD Los Angeles

campus where teachers got a chance to be

students again. Classes were held by MUD’s

team of trainers and experts covering a variety

of topics. From learning more about the core

of the brand to the basic steps of airbrushing

techniques, the two day event allowed partici-

pants to enroll in up to 10 courses. The annual

symposium helps to bring awareness of MUD’s

core brand principles to partnering schools while

also giving focused instruction on the techniques

used throughout the MUD curriculum.

Uomo Richmond fashion show

Milano Fashion WeekMilano Fashion Week? The real show all happens

backstage! There’s an entire industry of people

who work tirelessly to put together the shows

every season and this time MUD students have

experienced it from behind the curtains.

The popular Level II course, having 5 amazing

professionals as instructors and the progres-

sively growing awareness of the brand, have

allowed MUD to be become a solid force in the

fashion world. Sponsoring some of the most

important fashion branded events in Milan, MUD

has worked with Ralph Lauren’s showroom pre-

sentations and Milano Man Man Fashion week

during the Richmond fashion show.

Ten of our certified make-up artists lead by new

instructor, Alessandro Filippi, had the opportunity

to enter the world of elegance working with na-

tional and international photographers, stylists,

hairstylists and models. Fashion shows not only

require advanced artistry skills, but the ability to

do flawless make-up in a short period of time-and

sometimes under the most challenging situations.

The team arrived backstage half an hour before

the actual call time to set up the stations and

debrief with the designers. Shortly thereafter,

they confirmed the number of models and the

amount of time allocated for make-up appli-

cations. The coordinated team worked on 22

men during the anxious preparations, just before

seeing the models walk the runway. Lights flash-

ing, TV cameras and VIP’s in the front row cap-

tured the final look pieced together by blood,

sweat and MUD!

The new MUD Studio is created to be different from all the existing make-up stores and studios. We deliberately avoided all the gaudy mock baroque furniture and pink butterflies in order to create a space that gives way to creativity and emphasizes that what MUD does is art, not just some cosmetic adornment. An institution that takes professional make-up artistry seriously, MUD also happens to have a commercial line of products that is also stern when it comes to quality. MUD’s approach to the client is unique-you can’t buy make-up without being taught how to use it properly.

MUD Studio InteriorIntroducing the New

Written By: Barbara Debevec

Page 75: Mud Art Spring Summer 2015

When creating the new environment, the idea

was a combination of an art studio, workshop

and laboratory setting, but with luxurious

comfort of a shop and beauty salon. The final

outcome turned into the perfect space for

socializing with friends, sipping coffee and

posing for an Instagram pic.

The new store is also modular, adaptable to

different scenarios and easy to put together.

The interior works as a space with a plug-in

system where all the elements are prefabricated

and there is no need to make adjustments to

the installation. The system’s wiring is hidden

behind the furniture and distributed as needed.

During the creative process, the interior was

created in a way that there are no unnecessary

investments into the floors and walls. The basic

materials can be bought from stock while also

leaving room for one’s own personal style.

The selected materials are rough, raw, technical

materials that are durable and need almost no

additional treatment. The floors are made of

waterproof plywood. The walls and ceilings

are made of medium-density fiberboard. As

a contrast to these two materials, we added

some oak wood, which gives some elegance

and warmth to the space.

MUD’s concept of the store is simple. The

space is divided into three areas: work, social

and creative. While the work portion is reduced

to a technical solution with a professional

lighting and easy to clean surfaces, the creative

area is made as an art board for visitors to show

off their creativity. The wall creates a pegboard,

that leaves endless possibilities to be creative.

Using colored treenails, strings or rubber

bands, to writing, drawing or hanging things

on it, the installation instantly becomes a 3D

masterpiece. It can also serve as a background

for clients and staff to strike a pose.

And last but not least, the social area is a very

‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ chic with a jewelry

display that doubles as a central counter-

perfect for a quick coffee break, inspection of

the products or to purchase that perfect lipstick

for the next girls night out.

Create with MUD’s NEW Eye Colors

Bring your artistic vision to life with MUD’s NEW Eye Colors. These highly-

pigmented matte colors deliver a vibrant blue in Flight and Deco, a decadent brown

with Semisweet and the richness of purple royalty with Velvetine. Warm-up your

masterpiece with the sunset of Sedona, or cool down with the simplicity of stones in

Statue and Pavement—or, keep it simple with a wash of white in Canvas. Let your

brush tell a story that’s never been told!
