Movie Magic

Bonjour,

It’s making me extremely angry that people are saying “The Iron Lady” didn’t deserve their best make up award, but rather, Harry Potter deserved it.

Allow me to tell you this: Old age make up is the most difficult movie make up there is in the business. For them to have so flawlessly executed the art of old age the way they did caused them to win the award. When it comes to monster, or creature, make up, there’s more room for mistakes. Now I’m not saying that it is not difficult to create creatures, but any make up artist will tell you that there is no room for mistakes in old age make up. It’s hard work for everyone who is involved in the making of movie magic, so get over yourselves and just enjoy the stories!

Thus far, that’s “The Story of My Life,”
