Make up trends

Make up is an expression of beauty through enhancing it by adding powders and creams. Whilst it is known to be worn by women by most people, make up is actually for both men and women. Likewise, it is not only done for purposes of beautifying but can be done for other reasons such as in horror movies.

Make up artists work behind the scenes of fashion shows, movies, music videos and ordinary photo shoots. A look behind the scenes of popular music videos highlights how make up was used to bring out colour and an ethnic cultural flare to the video. The same had been done for musicians before they go on stage or presenters before they go live on television.

There is a growing trend nowadays of horror make up. Artists have started using gothic make up. A recent picture posted by make up artist Bridgette Mawarire of an injured person looks exactly like a real fresh injury. With this trend making headlines in Zimbabwe it will be easier for filmakers to add life to their movies with the use of these make up artists.

With the advent of this horror make up, young and upcoming make up artists seem to have been drawn into the craze. A survey of social media posts reveals that artists are doing great work as far as spooky horror make up is concerned. This has a great impact on the film industry and can also be used to liven up theatre perfomances.

The world is making advancements in the beauty industry and with the nation catching up on these developments a lot of positive things are bound to occur.
