This is not intended to be a comprehensive listing: but pointers to where to go to find information (eg if you’re looking for the makeup artist sites then you’ll find them through the makeup artists’ webring or from Lars’s links page).
My makeup artist index contains links to the sites and/or IMDb entries for makeup artists whose work is featured here in themakeupgallery.
Local 706 is the Make-up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild (Local 706 of IATSE – the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artist and Allied Crafts of the United States and Canada, AFL-CIO, CLC). When makeup artists refer to the Union they usually mean Local 706.
NASMAH is the UK’ National Association of Screen Make-up Artists and Hairdressers.
MakeUp Artist Magazine is the magazine to read and a very good website for its news and messageboard. They organise the Trade Shows which are truly unmissable. It’s even better since they dropped the hyphen!
PPI Players is the place to go if you missed the demonstration makeups at the Trade Shows. Before, after and makeup process images from applications by the professionals: Matthew Mungle, Todd McIntosh, Bill Corso, Ve Neill, Richard Snell, Kenny Myers – convinced yet or shall I go on. Well I’m not going to – go there and see for yourselves. This is part of the revamped Premiere Products inc website.
Makeup411 where www means ‘Who’s wearing What’. If you want to know exactly what products Julie Pearce used to create Laura Harring’s look in Mullholland Drive you’ll find it here. You can search by actress, movie, TV show or music video.
Lars Carlsson, a Swedish makeup artist, has a brilliant site. It has a nice layout with a big gallery, project diaries and the best listing of makeup artist websites I have seen: the links get updated monthly or bimonthly.
MaquiArte.com is the place to go for news about makeup artists in Spain. It has also got features, galleries and message boards.
Masks in the Media has no images but is a frequently updated and comprehensive reference document listing the use of the Mask Trick (female masks only) in comics and cartoons as well as on TV and in the movies.
FameHog describes itself as an ‘entertainment hub and industry marketplace’. Its makeup/effects section is growing with entries including gallery and résumé
Mandy.com is a good place to start if you’re trying to find makeup artists by country or region.
The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) is the best, most comprensive and indispensible link for movie information (titles, dates, cast lists, plot info, filmographies etc). My single most indispensible and most frequently visited site bar none. Oh yeah and they’ll even fix it if they get the credits wrong.
tv.com is ‘a whole new TV reference guide for the shows you love’ (or maybe hate). I find the episode guides and guest star listing particularly useful.
Ain’t It Cool News is just amazing especially for news and spoilers on TV shows like Buffy, Angel and Alias: as I live in the UK it’s really handy for things to look out, episode reviews, spoilers etc. I visit it daily.
OutNow.ch: great high quality movie stills especially for European movies.
Apple – movie trailers is the place for HD movie trailers.
Dark Horizons is the best site for current news about movies in production with links to stories, stills, trailers elsewhere on the Web.
ReelClassics.com, Elizabeth’s classic moves homepage, is a brilliant resource for information on the golden years of Hollywood. Don’t be mislead by the title: a homepage this is not. It’s 1600 pages make this site feel positively minuscule. It probably is, at it claims to be, the Internet’s most comprehensive site dedicated exclusively to Classic Movies.
MonkeyPeaches is the best (english-language) Chinese movie site: news, reviews, images, gossip.
Twitch spreads the news on ‘strange little films from around the world’.
Cineuropa publishes ten news articles on European cinema every day.
Soapsite: well the title says it all
