Local 706 - The Artisan

came to play. We gelled Martin's hair down, applied a vinyl bald cap, then stuck down the neck and the pate. John started to give the hair a trim, whist Jason and I stuck on the nose, then the bags and painted it up. We completed it in three hours!! Whilst technically, the prosthetic make-ups were challenging, far more so was representing a community and families. I wanted beautiful, reflective, honest skin through- out for The Panthers, The Crowns and The Young Lords who were three of the four gangs that Fred amalgamated in The Rainbow Coalition; the fourth being The Patriots, who were Irish and Polish Americans. Daniel Kaluuya played Fred and in order for his Ugandan plum-blue skin tone to work for his African American char- acter, I changed it by adding more golds and reds to his skin. I used five different foundations for Fred, along with custom-tinted serums all made with 4KLWC. 44 • THE ARTISAN FALL 2019 A fun beaten make-up on DK, I sculpted a few lumps and cuts, and made them with Pro Bondo. Painted with Alco Color, 4KLWC and shined. Jesse Plemons played FBI man Roy Mitchell. We kept him very stark throughout, celebrating his pinkness! Rabble Rouser was fun to do. I used Pro Bondo appli- ances, scabbed custom blood & paint. LaKeith Stanfield needed tattoo cover every day on his face, neck and hands. I used 4K Longwear Creme + Schmix for base and cover. I mixed Bluebird gloss+matte sealers to lock it on his hands. Every day, we covered his face tatts, then added dimention to his brows with Alco Color. I gave him a deeper skin tone to help balance Daniel and to give him a more sun- kissed skin tone. Real Bill was darker than LaKeith so I took him closer to the real deal. For the scene where he needed full tattoos cover, we made an airbrush paint out of 4KLWC, Prepping appliances for Martin Sheen's Hoover Clockwise from top left: Daniel Kaluuya with lumps and cuts; Daniel with golds and reds added to skin tone; LaKeith before tattoos; LaKeith with character Bill's tattoo cover; Jesse Plemons as Roy Mitchell; Rabble Rouser in full body make-up and tattoo cover.
