Each year, Make-up artist magazine hold a student competition at the IMATS, with a theme.
The competition is open to students of a recognized make-up school and to those who have graduated 12 months prior to the competition date. Make-Up Artist will only accept competition entries postmarked Dec. 28.
There’s a beauty/fantasy category and a prosthetics category.
This year’s beauty/fantasy competition theme is Alice in Wonderland, inspired by director Tim Burton’s re-imagining of the classic story. The beauty/fantasy competition takes place on Saturday, and the time limit is two hours.
The character/prosthetic competition theme for this year is Grimm’s Fairy Tales, which pays homage to the classic stories from childhood. The character/prosthetic competition takes place on Sunday and deals with prosthetic applications and bald caps. The time limit for the character competition is three hours. No outside prosthetics are allowed, only the ones supplied by IMATS.
