The Human Skeleton.The Human Skeleton consists of 206 bones, which are the internal frame work of the body. The skeleton has six major functions; protection, support, movement, production of blood cells, endocrine regulation amd storage of minerals. The skull has two main parts; the cranium and the mandible. The cranium is several joined bones and the mandible which is the lower jaw. The human skull can be divided into two categories; the viscerocranium and the neurocranium. The viscerocranium are the bones supporting the face and the neurocranium is the protective structure surrounding the brain. It is thought that the earliest sign of the study of an anatomy started in Ancient Egypt around 1600 BC. Renaissance Physicians discussed the function and form of the skeleton. They were impressed with the hardness of the bone and recognised the necessity of it, because of its structural purpose for the body. Medieval portraits shows how the skeleton shapes the body. Leonardo da Vinci was an artist and anatomist, he made detailed illustrations of the human skeleton. Leonardo drew geometrized drawings of the skeleton and thought it important to draw it from multiple perspectives. It is good for makeup artists to understand the underlying bone and muscle structure as well as knowing the proportion's of facial anatomy. This knowledge is needed to be able to enhance a model or clients features, as well as being able to create character makeups and turning actor's into recreations of famous people. Prosthetic makeup artists need to have an extensice knowledge of anatomy and the proportions of the human body so that they're work can be realistic. The image below is a skull face paint I created a couple of years ago. This is a look I would like to recreate at some point in the future.

AuthorThis blog is to follow on from my university final project, which was a historical reference book on ‘Female Hair and Makeup Throughout History’. Each week I will release a post featuring an era and an aspect of hair, makeup and fashion from the time. I will also have my makeup muse of the week, who could be a makeup or fashion trendsetter of their time or a makeup artist who has innovated the industry. Archives
