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.

Pantomime Dame makeup evaluation

  For the pantomime dame makeup, I like the outcome of the eye makeup, the orange especially, because I like how it has been blended from dark to light. I also like the eyeliner both on the eyelid and below the eye, including the white, as it enhances the eye shape and size. However, I need to improve on being able to cover up my eyebrows and raising the drawn on ones further up my forehead as they were too far down. I also need to darken the contouring on the cheeks and the jaw. I also think I should darken the outline of the lips too as it isn’t as visible as it should be. This makeup would be suitable for a small and medium sized stage and audience as it can be seen from far enough away. The colours could also work underneath certain stage lights as they wont be blended together. edit: 23/05/2021

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...
