Red Carpet MUA Research

 Hung Vanngo:

Hung Vanngo is a New York-based makeup artist. Born in Vietnam, he moved to Canada as a child and spent his youth and early adulthood in Calgary. Once Vanngo moved to NYC, he began collaborating with some well-known fashion photographers, such as Carter Smith, Craig McDean and Emma Summerton. His work has appeared in the pages of popular magazines, such as Allure, ELLE, Glamour and Vogue. Hung Vanngo has also worked with many different A-list celebrities, such as Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lawrence, Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry and Kate Bosworth. However, he is mainly well-known for being a long time makeup artist for Selena Gomez. 

His hard work and dedication to his work has resulted in the praise of many others within the industry and has achieved many awards. His collection had most recently included the 2005 Canadian Network of Makeup Artists in the Best Editorial makeup artist of the year category and in 2004, Vanngo became the first winner of Lancome's Canadian Makeup Artist of the Year Award.

He has also worked on advertising campaigns for Holt Renfrew, Lancome, Loreal, Proctor and Gamble, Ports, Lida Baday, Marlowe, Harry Rosen, Parasuco Jeans, Winners, Danier Leather, Badgley Mischka and many others.

Hung Vanngo is also well known for the makeup he does for celebrities at red carpet events such as Met Gala, Oscar Awards, Victoria’s Secret shows and the Grammy Awards. 

Hung Vanngo inspires me as a makeup artist for quite a few reasons. One of those reasons being his creativity. Not only can he create stunning makeup looks, he can also match these looks to the person's outfit.

LSOH meeting 12:

  LSOH meeting 12: 19/05/2021 The day before the production. To start off this meeting, we began by checking through the production folder together to make sure we had everything we needed in there, including face charts, makeup designs, actors headshots and skin consultation sheets. It was important we had all of this in there as it was important we knew what makeup we were doing, how we would be applying it to the actors face and which products we needed to check for and organise. This showed good organisation skills as we were checking beforehand to make sure we had everything ready for the production nights. We then took some time to work in the LRC to polish up our blogs for a little while and add in anything we may have missed; this could include: adding in any missing images and any information on what we had discussed/decided on during previous meetings. It is important to keep track of all of this as it helps us keep track of what we have all worked on throughout the produ...

LSOH production days:

LSOH production: The LSOH production was held at Teesside University, The Hub. Day 1: 20/05/2021 Those who attended: Kassie Emily Leah Isobel Stephen Paige Myself Eleanor Francesca Charlotte On the first day of the production, everyone showed up on time at around 11am. Paige and I showed up at around 9:30 to give us enough time to find the location of the venue and take a short break before we went back to set up. This shows good time management skills, teamwork and good communication skills as we both organised a suitable time for us to meet up and worked together to find the venue beforehand using Google Maps.  Once we had all arrived at The Hub, we took a look around the room we will be working in, as well as the room the production will be held in. This was important as we were able to find the best light sources suitable for applying the makeup under/in front of as well as how the tables were arranged and how we could set up on them. This included: where the actor will sit, wh...

Catwalk makeup evaluation

  Catwalk makeup evaluation: What I like about this look is the eye makeup. The blue watercolour smudges help to show off the eye shape alongside the white eyeliner. I also like the eye makeup as the colours compliment each other. Another aspect of this makeup I like would be the shape of the contour on the cheeks as well as how the contour on the nose has been blended. Another point to make about the makeup is that the base makeup and eye makeup would work well for the catwalk as it would stand out on camera as well as under the lighting. However, for the contour on the cheeks, I think the triangles should be bigger to help it stand out more. I also should've used false eyelashes to help them stand out more, and colour them by applying a white base colour first and then colouring them lilac as they don't show up on camera.
