Make-Up Artist magazine is now accepting student competition applications for the 2009 Los Angeles International Make-Up Artist Trade Show. For this year's beauty/fantasy competition, the Gothic theme refers to the gothic beauty palettes that appeared in recent runway shows (the emphasis is on creating a pretty, rather than scary, gothic look). (continued below)

The character/prosthetic competition theme, X-Men Mutants, pays tribute to Mike Elizalde, a keynote speaker for this year's London IMATS and a Los Angeles-based make-up designer who worked on X-Men: The Last Stand.

The competition is open to students of a recognized make-up school and to those who graduated 12 months prior to the competition. Make-Up Artist will only accept competition entries postmarked by May 22, 2009.

Eight competitors will be selected for each competition. Cash and/or prizes will be awarded to first-, second- and third-place winners for each competition.

U.K. team collaborates for a different 'Alice in Wonderland' - Tuesday 04 August, 2009

On a cold and cloudy Oxford afternoon, U.K. make-up artist Sarah Terry collaborated with photographer Rebecca Parkes, hairstylist Sean Butt and designer Bibian Blue to create this dark vision of Alice in Wonderland.

This particular Alice (Samantha Wilkinson) and White Rabbit (Blossom Blois) look innocent, but there’s a hint of mischief here, too. Let’s follow them down the path, shall we?
