*** Character Makeup Contest 2021 Winner Announcement ***
To everyone who entered our 2021 Character Makeup Contest, your creativity knows no bounds! Your entries spanned a huge range of styles and mediums from subtle shadow and highlight likeness makeups to elaborate otherworldy prosthetic characters, and everything in between.
Selecting a Grand Prize winner was tough (as always) but we're excited to announce that 1st place goes to eunahyou's haunting entry: The Hell Gatekeeper!
According to eunahyou, the makeup creation was inspired by "the 18 stages of hell in Buddhist mythology." Beyond the artistry of its execution, one of the reasons we loved this character is the storytelling going on in the design. The meaning of the mark between the Gatekeeper's eyes "is the pain of parting with loved ones," explains eunahyou, and we can think of no more frightening hell than that.
Congratulations, eunahyou! We hope you enjoy the Grand Prize package below, sponsored by our friends at EBA Performance Makeup!
