The Makeup Mind

Learning, Evolving, Creating...

My name is Jason Henricks and Makeup is my passion. There is just something magical and amazing about the transformation and stories that you can tell.

Here are a few samples of my work as I make my way through the Master Makeup Course at Cinema Make-up School and beyond.

Please enjoy and feel free to comment and say hello!

Easily one of the strangest costumes I have ever been asked to create. I give you Chris Brown’s Neck Tattoo.
Created from a foam base, some liquid latex to help with a “skin” texture, decent amount of PAX paint in various skin tones and lots of airbrushing to create the additional tattoo. The design on the face created with aqua-color.

We had two AMAZING go-go dancers at our party as well. They were styled after the Devil Babes from the bordello in Beetlejuice. The paint had stated to wear a little from the dancing at this point, but they are still lookin pretty good.  :)
Latex horn application, green aqua color body paint with detail added by airbrushing a lighter grey-green on top. Additional beauty makeup and hair was completed by the dancers.

My friends and I decided to do our take on some characters from American Horror Story. We have a pregnant Viv, the Rubber Man and myself as Moira (both young and old… young on left, old on right).

Spray tan/dewey makeup look done for Vivian.

For myself I set/styled the wig, quite a bit of old age stipple on the old side of my face, sculpted/molded the breastplate, contacts for the green and cloudy eyes, adapted a store-bought costume and finished with a simple beauty makeup.  

I love this so much!

ON SET Pics from upcoming zombie horror short I am working on. Couple of bloody wrap shots from a fight/death scene, an infected animal bite after the oozing blood had been wiped off and a rat prop that I created. Most of the makeup used was alcohol color, the rat is latex, foamed gelatin and fake fur that had been airbrushed. And I mixed the blood myself! Really happy with how the blood looked on film, too!

Special Effects Final Creature Character- The Lizard Queen  …  Two piece full face/neck foam latex from an original sculpt. Colored with PAX paint, alcohol colors,and rubber mask grease paint around the eyes. Dress original creation as well. Wig and contacts added for additional styling to finish the look.  (Pretty proud of my paint job on this one. The styling got outta hand a little and the wig should have been different, I think. Otherwise, I totally brought what was in my head to life!)
