Ve Neill - An Amazing Artist

              Ve Neill is one of my heroes in the make up world.

Ve Neill

Ve Neill is by far one of the best American make up artists today, proven by her long lasting career and many awards from her work in the industry. Over her 37 years working as a make up artist, she has truly earned her 21 international nominations (and wins!) for her skills.

One of Neill's first projects was on the movie Edward Scissorhands, which still stands today as a masterpiece of make up artistry. She managed to turn the handsome and tanned Johnny Depp into a pale, pasty and scarred character, and people still remember this years on.

One of Neill's most famous make up looks has come from her involvement in the popular "Hunger Games" series. Neill helped to create many looks on set, but her most famous is by far for the character of "Effie Trinket", an eccentric woman from the main city of "The Capitol" where fashion and make up have become exaggerated to the extreme.

Although Neill is still in the business of proffessional Make Up Artistry, in 2011 she joined a panel of judges on the American TV show "Face Off". This show sees contestants putting their make up skills to the test, creating a range of looks including using prosthetics and even body paint.

If you can find it online and are interested in make up, then I urge you to give it a watch. But be careful, you may find yourself addicted to the show (like me!)

So please, look up Ve Neill and give her the respect she deserves as an anazing and show-stopping Make Up Artist.
