Planning - Make-Up and Special FX Make-Up

Since the song we have chosen is called "Dreams" we figured that we could make this a very outlandish and whimsical so we are going to use bold and bright make up, using a lot of glitter. We are also going to use Special FX make-up to really make the dreamlike feel more prominent. We have been discussing possible ideas for make-up and costumes but we need to remember that we have a budget to stick to and we won't be able to have severely outrageous costumes like Lady GaGa as it is just not in our budget.

We looked online at make up and fx make up and found some possible inspiration...

The lobster hands from American Horror Story are a weird but simple way to capture the essence of a dream based world, this can be achieved by simply taping the fingers together, covering with scar wax and blending. Scar wax is a cheap product and should fit well within the budget.

Another image we found as inspiration looks rather gory on the actual photo but instead of using fake blood to fill the joker style Chelsea grin, we are going to use glitter to make it less Halloween and more whimsical. This can also be made with scar wax, or could be made with liquid latex and tissue which I already have.

This is the kind of eye make-up I imagined that the extras would have in the music video, something bright and glittery to add the dream like feel but nothing too crazy to distract from the main characters in the story whos make-up will be more intense and crazy.
