Perfect makeup is not only a classic movie, it can even be said to be a take-off wing, after all, the movie we have watched for a long time may have forgotten the plot, but when we think of the movie, we often recall the most classic character and his/her appearance.
Maggie Storino, a mother from Chicago, usa, has been recreating famous scenes and characters from Oscar-nominated films in her life for six years, using three lovely and beautiful daughters.

First, the "classic nostalgia" plot of the Oscar judges
Film Representative:
Judges' plot: nostalgia, opera, classic
After five years, "Les Misérables" and "Life of the Rose", which are also adapted from European musicals, won the Oscar for Best Makeup in 2013 and 2008 respectively, mainly to tell the tragic fate of the low-level people in France, whether it is character styling or makeup techniques to a certain extent.

The same clown shape, after five years, the shape is obviously more luxurious, the shadow of the stage play seems to be more intense, with exaggerated makeup and shape more realistic restoration of the French medieval people's livelihood.
On the left is stills of "Les Misérables", and on the right is the stills of "Life of the Rose"
The description of the low-level characters, I have to say that this year's award-winning "Les Misérables" is more realistic and realistic, conveying decadence through makeup and hairstyles, and the helpless eyes of life are vividly reflected without the environment to portray.
Tian Hongyu, a well-known stylist: The visual impact is too great
"Les Misérables" after watching the first impression is that the makeup style to my visual impact is too big, particularly impressive, I think this is a rare film and television works in recent years, the film we can see a rich and meticulous makeup techniques, with style diversification to reflect the personality characteristics of various characters, characters from all walks of life are portrayed vividly.
The film's portrayal of small characters is quite accurate, and the makeup style can be fake and real. Restore the real environment of the scene, and can be a good assistant actor into the role. Feel the inner world of the characters in a stylized way, and the details are handled very appropriately. Occasionally, it can also let us experience the real texture, the true nature of people after removing the disguise, even the unkempt face can make people feel upgraded and energetic.
Second, the "stunt" plot of the Oscar judges
2006 78th Academy Awards for Best Makeup: The Chronicles of Narnia
Judges' Plot:
Makeup effects, perfect realism
After 5 years, the director of "Werewolf" re-introduced the theme of human and animal transformation to the screen, and also won the highest honor in the film industry, the best makeup award, such a film makeup artist pays attention to the realism of the effect. The makeup skills of "Werewolf" are obviously more pure, not only in the costume props, but also in the eyes, teeth, blood and other details of the treatment is also quite in place, so that people can be more fascinating when watching the movie, forget the role of the character.
With two awards in five years, it is not difficult to see that the judges attach great importance to the "special effects" skills that challenge the makeup artist's limits.

The lion shape in 2006's "The Legend of Narnia" is still very realistic, but it is clear that the makeup artist is directly "setting" the animal's head in pursuit of realistic effects, although it also plays a wonderful role, but compared to 2011's "Werewolf", it can only be said to be a small dish.
The werewolf shape in "Werewolf" really combines humans and beasts, so that people can't help but think about this shiver at first glance, is this wolf-shaped monster really born from the human world? While marveling at the makeup artist's skillful makeup skills, you have to admire the rapid development of modern makeup techniques.
The Oscar judges' requirements for the film's stunts are very strict, and the makeup artist will be a human beast if he is not careful, but the films of the same genre as "The Chronicles of Narnia" and "Werewolf" have won awards repeatedly within five years, which fully shows that the "special effects" film is still very popular with the Austrian Award judges.
Third, the "science fiction" plot of the Oscar judges
Sci-fi effects, novel variations
There are not many science fiction films that are applauded and sat, "Star Trek" and "Pan's Labyrinth" are indeed excellent, the big but use of technological mutations in the play, the eyes on the hands, the faceless old man, the green monster, etc., if makeup is only the basic skill of the makeup artist, these mutants are the test of the makeup artist's infinite imagination, without them can not do, only the judges can not think.

"Avatar", which also focuses on science fiction stunts
And "Star Trek" were nominated for the Oscar in 2010 for "Avatar", his classic blue-bodied alien was not nominated for Oscar makeup, and I don't know if Cameron's "Avatar" borrowed from the greenskin in "Star Trek", or the other way around, in short, "Star Trek" won a big victory.
The upper is the "Star Trek" stills, the bottom is the "Pan God's Labyrinth" stills
"Pan Shen's Labyrinth" tells a strange story, the shape of the human face sheep's head is very realistic, and it is still a little scary to look at suddenly. "Star Trek" alien handsome guy's pointed ears, high nose bridge, bobo head shape is somewhat joyful, and the editor can't help but complain: how peculiar the taste of the Oscar judges is.
Fourth, the "age span" plot of the Oscar judges
From eighty to eighty, reverse growth, reverse thinking
Dressing up a young boy in disguise as an eighty-year-old man does require good skills, not to mention the wrinkles on the face, the age spots on the forehead, even the loose muscles on the body, the wrinkles across the neck are no different from the real eighty-year-old man, and the makeup artist is definitely the biggest highlight of the film.
Stills of "Benjamin" Benjamin was born like a little old man
Stills of "Benjamin" The longer the younger Benjamin gets
Benjamin is a living example of achieving reverse growth, there is no makeup artist in the world that can't do it, and winning the Oscar for Best Makeup is well deserved.
Fifth, the "simulated" plot of the Oscar judges
Simulation, exactly the same
Meryl Streep is not similar to Margaret Thatcher in appearance, and she is not a British woman, it is obviously very difficult to play the first female prime minister of the United Kingdom, when the powerful actor meets the powerful makeup artist, it makes her successfully complete this seemingly impossible task, and Meryl plays Meryl in "The Iron Lady" and Mrs. Thatcher almost looks exactly like her, and her looks, movements, and expressions are imitated beautifully.
On the left is Margaret Thatcher, britain's first female prime minister, and on the right is Meryl, who plays the role in the play
Real-life Meryl and Margaret Thatcher
"Mrs. Thatcher" in "The Iron Lady" is on fire, the Oscar makeup artist naturally follows the fire, this "fire" is "fire" to the country, was invited to be a special makeup artist by a copy show of a mainland satellite TV station "Hundred Changes Big Coffee Show", the Oscar judges' vision is still real enough to be "unique and old".
