We succeed as Mimic Makeup artists in creating a truly outstanding and memorable character because we understand deeply the human body’s anatomy — from the bone structure, how and where muscles attach, how big or small they are, skin texture, how and where hair grows.
Without this knowledge, our designs, sculptures, and ultimately our finished characters would lack the sense of genuine depth and believably.
The way we move and the way we look is wholly dependent on our anatomy— our bone structure, how and where muscles attach, how big or small they are, what our skin looks and feels like, how and where hair grows; everything about us right down to the dirt under our fingernails should be studied and understood. Without this knowledge, our designs, sculptures, and ultimately our finished makeups would lack the sense of genuine depth and believability that a truly outstanding, memorable character must have if we are to succeed as makeup artists.
