Field of Screams Makeup


Roger gathered a great group of makeup artists who are working at Field of Screams in Olney MD.  Field of Screams has a haunted forest, house, and hay ride, which is raising money for the Olney Boys and Girls Club. It is so much fun to be a part of the makeup team. We are having fun splattering blood (fake) on the actors, and making up creepy zombies, scary/ UV clowns, and so many other weird characters. Below are some pictures; and I will be posting other blogs/ pictures about Field of Screams. Also, last but definitely not least, if you haven’t been to Field of Screams, go! You'll have so much fun=)

Crystal Couture


My first internship job with Roger Riggle was at Crystal Couture. Crystal Couture is a fashion show in Arlington, VA for local designers and boutiques. Roger Riggle was commissioned to body paint models. On my first day, he turned a male model into a woodland creature. One of the many things I thought was cool was using real bamboo leaves from Roger’s yard as stencils. We laid the leaves down the model’s arms and one leg as if they were growing on a branch and Roger air brushed over it. If I was able to pull the leaves up from his arms and leg without smearing the paint (which was the hardest part) it looked amazing. Then I just went in with some black paint and a brush to outline the leaf veins, to make it easier to see from farther away. It looked great! (See the picture below) I learned that week how to use many different materials as stencils.  Crystal Couture was so much fun and I would love to do it again soon. Check it out next year, I bet you’ll love it! 
 
Jewel The Intern


Starting Out


Hey, my name is Jewel and I’m Roger Riggle’s new makeup intern. I have always enjoyed playing with makeup, but I’m very new to the makeup world.  Other than watching makeup videos on YouTube, I have no formal training. So I’m very excited to learn lots of new tips and tricks from Roger. Roger and I thought it would be a great idea to bring you guys along for the ride. I will be blogging about my experiences and what I learn from the interesting jobs that I go on with Roger. I hope you are ready to learn with me.  I can’t wait =).
