VE NEILL

 What really inspires me in becoming a sfx make-up artist is watching Face Off on Syfy. It is a reality TV show where sfx make-up artists battle it out to win $100,000 of Alcone products. Ve Neill is a judge along with Glen Hetrick, Neville Page and Patrick Tatopoulos, who are all amazing make-up artists.

       Ve Neill has worked on films such as; Beetlejuice, Pirates of the Caribbean, Mrs Doubtfire, The Shining, Edward Scissorhands and The Hunger Games. She has been nominated for eight Oscars and won three Academy awards, a BAFTA, two Emmy awards, four Saturn awards and was the first person to win the Hollywood foreign press "make-up artist of the year". She started working in 1977 on shoots as a rock and roll stylist and developed more into a sfx make-up artist as the industry grew, she is now sponsoring the cinema make-up school in LA which has a plethora of make-up courses to choose from.

  

      I would love to work with this woman, she has so much passion for her work and others which shows she is a major asset to this industry.
