I've been thinking...

as I do...

makeup artists are rather unsung - are they not? I mean... these guys/gals are artists like actors and set designers etc, so I'm considering a (spn) makeup artist appreciation post. (yeah I know... too much time on my hands.../o\) Possibly not enthralling viewing but these guys deserve some lovin'!

So, if you can rec me some makeup highlights over the last 7 years I'd appreciate it (and no I'm not talking about the time SamnDean have made up... sheesh...). Off the top of my head I'm thinking Dean after Lucifer!Sam beat him to a pulp in Swan Song. Even Sam in Born Again Idenity. Maybe some of the monsters...? I think Dean's transformation in Skin has to be up there... that was pretty amazing.

In other news... I ordered the Vote Winchester & Winchester T shirt. I ordered large cause I wanted it nice and baggy. It arrived today and seriously? That's a large? I would hate to see medium or small. I reckon it would be about an Aus size 8. I guess returning it isn't possible. Looks like it might be an incentive to start jogging again...

Because I am a failure as a fan, can't name eps....but - remember the injury to centre of Dean's forehead when he shot Yellow Eyes? The injury diminished gradually over next couple of eps. I was really impressed with continuity of make-up. (I think I'm remembering eps. correctly.)

I've been especially impressed when Sam has been at rock bottom. His make-up during scene's in Bobby's safe room, esp. with Mary, for one. And the drunk cross-roads demon confrontation, and when Ruby and her hench-men attacked him in his room. The artists successfully make Sam look totally destroyed and worn down, sickly. Maybe it's the planes and sharp angles of his face which combine with lighting and make-up to sell it so well. Jared's seems to up the anty considerably when they give him some meaty scenes to act.

Oh yes... that was All Hell Breaks Loose. Though I think the head injury is the one from the car crash. That took a couple of episodes to disappear.

And YES... they do a great job of making the boys look suitably worn out. Which makes me think of Hell Sam... and Dean in hell...

There's going to be so much to choose from.

(and hey you... I'm coming to Sydney. Week after next...Love to catch up if we can. Maybe actually do some of those tequila shots...;D)
