2. RICHARD CHASE
This is the man that we are basing our
opening sequence/ film off of. We
want the actor playing this character
to look realistic and accurate, making
sure that the audience believe it is
him. To achieve this, we need to use
makeup to make the actor’s face look
extremely tired/ drawn out, have facial
hair and have greasy hair. He should
also appear to be covered in filth and
dirt.

3. EYE BAGS

Here’s a Youtube video which I’m basing some of my special effects makeup research off of. The
following slides are a step by step guide that my group will follow during filming to make our
actor look realistic and exhausted.

4. STEP 1 & 2)
Choose a brown eyeshadow (FOR
EXAMPLE: MATTE MOCHA FROM
NO.7). You should draw a curve under
your eye and go over/ overline it
repeatedly. Use a small, flat brush.
Repeat the same thing on the other
eye.
Do the same thing on each eye, and
heading towards the inner corner of
each eye with a black eyeshadow (FOR
EXAMPLE: BARRY M LIMITLESS
EYESHADOW) . Use your finger
afterwards to blend the colours
together, and upwards slightly.

5. STEP 3)
Use a purple eyeshadow (FOR
EXAMPLE: MAC POWER TO THE
PURPLE) to do the same thing as the
last two steps, with a small flat brush.
However, this should be done just
above the brown and black blended
line. Make sure to accentuate the
purple on the inner side of the eye,
and start to blend it up into a line just
below your waterline.
Repeat on the other eye.
FINISHED !

6. SUNKEN EYES
Here is a website I found with a tutorial to how to create sunken eyes, making them look hollow
and deep set. This would further the accuracy of our representation of the character our film is
based off.
The pictures that follow are photos I took of my attempt at this SFX makeup.

7. STEP 1: Apply a thin layer of foundation to under your eyes, and this should
be one shade darker than your skin tone. Make sure to blend it out, to make
it look natural/ realistic. This acts as a base layer for the rest of your makeup.
STEP 2: Locate the bone which creates the lower eye socket.
Create a structural shadow in the inner corner of your eye. Use a flat brush
and dab a touch of character shadow onto the inner corner of your
eye/socket. Leave the corner of your eye the darkest.
STEP 3: Using a ¼ inch, flat makeup brush and character shadow, start at the
inner corner of the eye and draw a hard line following the upper edge of the
eye socket. Make sure it fades off at the two-thirds off.
STEP 4: Wipe any excess shadow off of your brush onto a paper towel. Put
the tip of the brush on the shadow line. Start in the centre of the shadow
line, blending the colour gradually upwards. Do not allow this blending to be
more than ¼ inch wide, and do not allow it to touch the lash line. Keep a
hard edge along the cheek bone.

8. STEP 5: Get another flat brush and dip it into some highlight. Place the brush
right under the edge of the character shadow. Start in the centre and blend
the colour down onto the cheekbone. Make sure equally proportionate to
the shadow.
STEP 6: Dab a little bit of highlight under the fleshy part under the eye,
above the shadow. Blend. This will give the illusion of puffiness.
STEP 7: Press some power over the makeup to set the makeup.
