访谈录 2008-10-31&11-02 如何打扮很“Halloween”？

Halloween isn’t just for kids as we well know. Adults can play out their fantasies as well. Here to show us some unique adult looks for Halloween, Mac Cosmetic¹ makeup² artist, Keri Blair

Good morning, how are you.

Good morning. I’m so happy to be here

Nice to see you.

Nice to see you

Are you psyched for Halloween?

I am pretty psyched. I work in the makeup industry, so it’s sort of our time of the year, right?

Yeah

It’s like our Christmas , our big celebration of Halloween

And it’s exploded as a holiday for adult as well right ?

It has. I think, you know, it’s fondle about your fantasies a little bit and play around and sort of do those things you don’t get to do every day in the office.

Right

n

All right

Well, we have several different looks we are gonna sort of… focus in on today. What is this first one?

The first one is the Amphibian³. And right here we have Erin and Luke did her makeup today and she has sort of water theme going on and lots of glitter, a little bit of blue and some lashes⁴ and this is actually about blending a little bit of powder and some loose pigments⁵ together to really create this sort of a imperial look..

Now what is all this stuff?

This is makeup. It’s just regular makeup…

Oh really

…you use on yourself normally but we use it in a more exaggerated kind of way

Ok. I think those like something out of the chemistry set

Well, we like to pretend we are chemists sometimes

Right

Yeah

So this took a little while to do, right?

Yeah it took her two hours to be honest. But the great thing is that you can try this at home or you can actually come to… now you can see her before where she looked like. You wouldn’t even recognize her

Right

Her husband won’t recognize her actually

Yeah, so now, how would you complement⁶ this… you have an amazing face. What would you do with the rest if you wanna be amphibious, what would you do for a costume?

Well I think she could do anything in blue. She can maybe add cellophane to it. You could buy that at a party store. So it’s really easy right?

Yeah

Just add some light reflection to your costume

Yeah

You need cellophane..

Right exactly

You look great Erin, thank you.

Yeah where to go. What’s this look?

So this is our skull⁷-Meister, The skull is my favorite. It is sorta to be an epitome⁸ classic Halloween look right yeah

…and Mark did a great job on hot year, here really sculpting⁹ out his bone structure. This is what you’d look like, didn’t have skin

I hear this before… we never know

Oh here he is

Yeah, well, I guess that really is an advantage that really do in this serious makeup.

Right

You can walk into a room with people who know you well and they say we have no idea

He'll get away with murder, I swear. Look at you. You look fabulous¹⁰ and the thing which’s great about this is that it’s really about sculpting out bone structure again and even if you would just socket¹¹ it out the eyes and use a little bit of black around the nose and shading, you would almost have it.

So, it’s really...

Can I just say also for the record the whole thing with the teeth, making the teeth?

Dimensional

Yeah go like this. Can you go like this? No.

Oh, don’t do that

All right, never mind

Thanks so much. What is this look down here?

And then this is our colors-fill. This is a look that I completed. This is Heather. And what we did was use the combinations of these pigments again which are frosted and we added the water...
