CCM Offers Expert Guidance on Monster Makeovers
Halloween is nearly here, and if any college knows how to get into the spirit, it's the University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music. After all, it wasn't long ago that CCM
opened its Studio Series with "Carrie: The Musical,"
a rock 'n' roll adaptation of Stephen King's classic horror novel "Carrie," and performed the twisted fairy tale "Into the Woods." And here's further evidence that CCM is loaded with seasonal inspiration. Kelly Yurko, associate professor of make-up and wig design, guides you through a series of
do-it-yourself monster makeovers
to give your Halloween costume star quality. Graduates of CCM's rare MFA in
Make-Up and Wig Construction and Design
program have gone on to work with national touring shows, popular TV programs and independent and commercial film companies.
Watch Yurko in these videos and then try it yourself!
