MUD Schools: Preparing Students For
The Fascinating World
of Make-Up Artistry
6
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.
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.
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.
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.

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 accommodations 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.
New York, New York
Nothing 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.
a renewed concept of
professional make-up
education
Recognizing the need of working make-up artists and other industry professionals 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 methodology 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.
Certifications
Make-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
All students completing Beauty Essentials will receive our Level I Makeup 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.
This certification level consists of the following courses:
// Beauty Essentials

Level II Make-Up Artist
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.
This certification level consists of the following courses:
// Beauty Essentials
// Airbrush
// Bridal Make-up
// Studio Make-up
// High Fashion Make-up Trends
Bridal Make-Up Artist
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.
This certification level consists of the following courses:
// Beauty Essentials
// Airbrush
// Bridal Make-up
Check for upcoming
Studio Courses and
Workshop Dates.
Individual Courses & Continuing Education
Make-Up Designory also offers students the option to take individual
courses alone in order to expand a particular area of expertise. Courses
can also be taken by individuals in related fields who are seeking professional enhancement in their chosen area of employment.
At MUD, we are committed to helping students select the courses of
study that will best help them reach their occupational goals. For this
reason, prior to registration in an individual course, it is necessary that
students consult with the Admissions Office in order to be sure that they
have completed all required pre-requisites or have obtained the appropriate equivalent experience.
In order to register for individual courses, students may have to demonstrate that they are licensed, in the process of being licensed or working
professional make-up artists that possess the skills required to enroll.
Certificates and cards are awarded to students who successfully complete 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.
16
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.

She is a stunning print-ad model, a formidable advertising guru, and a rising television star. In

variety of brands from Range Rover to Starbucks and -- of course -- Make-Up Designory.

“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 other hand is a personal communication platform
where I can share my passion for fashion and
lifestyle. Over the years it has grown into a personal 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.

owners of MUD Studio Belgium
‘A blogger is not necessarily
an influencer’
Myfashionblog.be was one of the first fashion
blogs in Belgium. “I was one of the Belgian pioneers when I started in 2007. Back then I noticed that people didn’t always quite understood
what exactly it was that I did”, says Emma.
Over the years, blogs have gotten more credibility and are a worldwide known phenomenon, although that also has its disadvantages according 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 professional and unique content that reaches a wide
audience in a way that inspires them.”
It’s all about fashion
Emma’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.

Emma waiting for her make-up
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 never work together with a brand that doesn’t fit my identity or
personal style, no matter how much money is involved”,
Emma explains.
‘My partnerships are always long-term’
“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.”
Emma has done a lot of collaborations with national and international 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 Provocateur, a high fashion and cool brand to work with, and my
ambassadorship for Ranger Rover was a beautiful collaboration too.”
Another highlight was to be chosen as supertalent by the
Dutch brand Supertrash and of course her collaboration with

Make-up Designory. “We produced and styled a video together 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 effects 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 far
In the blogging business, it’s very hard to predict what’s
coming next. “My personal goal is to always keep improving 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 opportunities 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.”

Tips for Women of Every Hue

Women of Latin, African,

and perfumeries around the
world as diversity becomes

beauty brands. Even so, the

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.
Watch tutorials
for different ethnicities
30
While most major cosmetic companies offer a limited palette 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. According 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 different shades of beauty, is natural,
uneven skin tone and discoloration. 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 canvas. 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 modifies 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.
A few MUD favorites for
women of color:
Face:
∙∙ Cream Foundation Palette #2
∙∙ Dual Finish Pressed Mineral Powder
DFM 2, DFD 1, DFD 2
“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 throughout the year or in different environments and may require
a few adjustments.
∙∙ Deep Brown Corrector
∙∙ Loose Powders in Suede and Desert
Eyes:
∙∙ Eye Colors in Daisy, Spanish Gold,
Voodoo, Midnight, Tea Tree, Moss,
Graphite, Semisweet and Velvetine
∙∙ Rich Brown and Black Forest Eye Pencils
Lips:
∙∙ Lipsticks in Eggplant, Rustic,
Burlesque, Idol and Lady Bug
∙∙ Brick Lip Pencil
∙∙ Henna Lip Gloss
Concealers
The 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 Corrector. Mix a small amount into the foundation to create the
perfect base tone relationship by canceling out the color of
the discoloration.
∙∙ Lip Glazes in Magnolia,
Java and Spicy
Cheeks:
∙∙ Sun Rose and Tulip Color Crème
∙∙ Cheek Colors in Berry, Poppy,
Garnet, Pumpkin, Russet,
Brick and Gingerbread
The consistency of concealers are much higher than foundation 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 developed. 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 Lips
Another 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 liner to help even out the different tones or apply a small amount
of foundation to the lips before applying the lipstick.
Natural Blushing Beauties
Just 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 colors 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 confident 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 radiant, 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.

Graduate Spotlight
DeLaney Henry
32
Written By: Svenya Nimmons
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 professional 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 allows 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.

The Man Behind
IMATS Michael Key
Written By: Myrna Martinez, Photos By Deverill Weeks
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 makeup educations classes taught by the industry’s best, live
on-stage presentations, special make-up effects demonstrations, 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 Artist Magazine, we got a simple answer: There was a need for it.
IMATS Panel Discussion
Man behind IMATS & Make-Up Artist Magazine
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.
American Horror Story
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-bystep 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 successfully 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)
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 Makeup 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

black boats through stone canyons,
pushing down on fathoms of muck,
you sink into a spell, surging

Then Venice wears you,

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 television series Glee, Nip/Tuck, Sabrina The Teenage Witch, Everybody Loves Raymond. Currently, she is the department head for FX’s anthology, American Horror Story.
Growing up
I 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 monsters 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 industry
“NO PRESSURE, BUT
YOU HAVE TO GET
IT RIGHT ON THE
FIRST TAKE.”
40
The first memory of the entertainment business was probably 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.
Career
I 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 mentors
Rick 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 anything make-up effects. I still am! I get stupidly excited about it.
Clint Eastwood
My 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.”
Prosthetics & beauty
I 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 Lazzarini 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 beauty 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.
THE BEST ADVICE I HAVE
EVER BEEN GIVEN IS,
“GIRLS SHOULDN’T BE
DOING MAKE-UP EFFECTS”. IT JUST MADE ME
TRY EVEN HARDER.
Best work
Ryan Murphy on Nip /Tuck,
Running with Scissors and
American Horror Story
Ryan Murphy is the make-up artist’s dream boss. It will be
my 12th year on his projects. I am so grateful for the incredible opportunity to continue doing such cool films and television 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 always 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.
Make-Up Artists and
Hair Stylists Guild Awards 2015
I guess a good representation of application work would be
American Horror Story. In Asylum, we did an old age makeup on Sarah Paulson. She was playing a successful, Barbara 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, Angela Bassett’s make-up this season included a period beauty make-up and prosthetic breasts everyday. I enjoy being
involved in character development and figuring out how to
make ideas a reality.

Mind Your
Manners
42
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 establishment, a unique concept where you can do your laundry in a hip and relaxing atmosphere. 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.
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 everything 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-
Book authors
Dries and Yuri
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.
44
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 makeup. 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 Manners, 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 important 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 professional 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.
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.
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 assignment that opened a lot of doors for me.
Why the passion for make-up?
Lenny: It’s a passion I discovered later on in life. A couple 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.

Finding the
Perfect Lip Color
50
Written By: Sean Conklin
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.
If you’re using color theory to find a lip hue that draws
attention to both eyes and lips, use a color that compliments your irises.
• For green eyes, try a color that fits in the red family, such as Lady Bug, Flirt, Burlesque, Pink Twinkle,
Blackberry, Eggplant and Charm.
• If your eyes are blue, use a lipstick with an orange undertone 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 color 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 determined 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.
Knowing the chemistry behind the formula will help you determine what type of lipstick to choose to best suite your needs.
For example, MUD’s Satin Formula is a non-drying matte finish, 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 color 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.
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, Rustic, 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.

A Perfect Day
photography 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
Guild Award
Nominees
Boutique
Mask Maker
Congratulations to the 2015 Make-up Artists and
Hairstylists Guild Award nominees and winners!
They 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 experimenting 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 painting, 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.
Taking home the gold was MUD alumna Sarah B.
Wolfe (makeupandmayhem.com) winning Best
Make-up in Theatrical Productions (Live Stage)
for Kinky Boots. MUD graduate Essie Cha was
nominated for Best Contemporary Make-up in
Television Media Series from AMC’s The Walking
Dead while MUD Faculty Member Vanessa
Dionne was nomination for Best Make-up and
Best Hair Stylist in Theatrical Productions (Live
Stage) for Cosi fan tutte.

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 participants 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.
The popular Level II course, having 5 amazing
professionals as instructors and the progressively 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 presentations 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 national 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 applications. The coordinated team worked on 22
men during the anxious preparations, just before
seeing the models walk the runway. Lights flashing, TV cameras and VIP’s in the front row captured the final look pieced together by blood,
sweat and MUD!
Introducing the New
MUD Studio Interior
Written By: Barbara Debevec
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 makeup without being taught how to use it properly.
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 counterperfect for a quick coffee break, inspection of
the products or to purchase that perfect lipstick
for the next girls night out.
