The Hunting Wives - Netflix , As the Makeup Dept Head I had a ball on this show getting to design & create Beauty Makeups and the fx stuff too !! A tool I personally find very useful in a pinch is designing all types of makeups in Procreate. It allows me a way to warm up before a final makeup and explore other options beforehand etc…Here’s 4 pics of actress Jackie Dallas from no makeup to Procreate concepts to the final makeup I applied for the show. Big thanks to showrunner / creator Rebecca Cutter for giving me the opportunity to work on another cool show of hers. #thehuntingwives #rebeccacutter #filmedincharlotte #netflix #beautymakeup #fxmakeup #armanisilkluminous #chanel#charlottetilburymakeup #jackiedallas

Today is the Day Dick Smith was born in 1922 . I would not have had a career if not for his guidance and support. Dick recommended this 18yr old kid to NBC NY in 76 and in those early years just kept on giving my name to the likes of Francis Ford Coppola, Woody Allen ,etc… building my career . I was at Dicks house spending quality time after winning the Oscar for Dick Tracy .. I said Dick , I know I’ve gotten my own jobs but wish I had worked with you more closely like the other chaps did . And in his loving way replied, but Johnny you can say something they can’t … you did it all on your own . Maybe not exactly a true statement but one he felt I needed to hear in the moment . I love him and miss him everyday. #dicksmithmakeup #thegreatestofalltimes #thegodfather #theexorcist#taxidriver #amadeus #scanners#thedeerhunter

Today’s guest is a trailblazer in the world of film and makeup artistry. John Caglione Jr. has been at the forefront of transforming the way we look at characters in film through makeup and prosthetics. His career spans decades, and his work has left an unforgettable mark on some of Hollywood’s most iconic films. From behind the scenes of Saturday Night Live to winning an Oscar for the 1990 film “Dick Tracy”, John has created iconic looks on equally iconic characters. Other films John has worked on include Martin Scorcese’s “The Departed”, “American Gangster”, “Mona Lisa Smile” and “The Amazing Spider-Man 2”. His most famous work is perhaps his make-up on Heath Ledger’s psychopathic Joker in the Award-Winning Box Office smash “The Dark Knight” released in 2008. On today’s episode, John will be discussing his early years working on a SNL as well as being under the mentorship of legendary make-up artist Dick Smith, working with once-in-a-generation talents like Al Pacino and of course Heath Ledger, as well as detailing behind the scenes tales surrounding his process as a make-up artist. All of this & more on today’s episode of #CreativelyMe A massive thank you to @johnny_cags - it was an absolute pleasure. New episodes every Friday.
