Still Angry About the Norman Invasion
Contender – Makeup Artist Sian Grigg, J. Edgar

Grigg explained why she chose to utilize the encapsulated silicone pieces in the makeup. “With each project, you approach it and you wonder what the best material will be,” she said. “The silicone pieces were really soft so that they felt like skin. When you pinched it, it held the pinch. It made them quite difficult to apply, but much more flexible and maneuverable, and they looked more real. Silicone is very durable and a great medium to work in. It requires a lot of attention, so I spent a lot of time throughout the day attending to it. In the past five years, the silicone appliances have become better than anything else to work with.”
I went to high school for a year with Sian. She was a fantastic artist even then.
