Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well! Today, I wanted to share with you an exciting video that I recently discovered on YouTube. It's a witch makeup transformation video, and let me tell you, it's absolutely amazing! In the video, the YouTuber begins with a bare face and takes us step by step through the process of transforming into a terrifyingly beautiful witch. **The main idea of the video is the transformation from a regular face to a witch's face using makeup**. They start by prepping their skin and then move on to applying a green base, which gives off an eerie vibe. As the video progresses, they start adding more depth and dimension to their face through contouring and highlighting. The YouTuber even incorporates various shades of eyeshadow to create a mesmerizing effect on their eyes, making them appear mystical and enchanting.
If you're going for an intense dramatic look, this tutorial is for you. It may look complex at first glance, but she breaks it down into super simple steps that are easily achievable.
When I performed as the witch, we actually built a quick-change costume based on quick-change magic act costumes, so it took literally 2 seconds to change. I am working on Into the Woods, and was hoping if anyone has any ideas or suggestions on how to complete the witch s transformation as seamlessly as possible.

One of the most fascinating parts of the video is watching the YouTuber apply prosthetics and special effects makeup.
Witch's Transformation for Into the Woods
I am working on Into the Woods, and was hoping if anyone has any ideas or suggestions on how to complete the witch's transformation as seamlessly as possible. Also, I am debating whether or not I want to make a cow or rent one. I need the cow to be calf size (obviously) and a contact I had to rent a cow, was trying to give me a 6 foot long cow. Any ideas or suggestions on the how-to or best way to construct milky-white or a good company to rent a calf-sized cow.
Anything helps, Thanks!

I am building this show as well, and am doing the same effect as I did with Beauty and the Beast.
I built a raised platform with a steel grate that has lights and a strobe beneath it. It also has a smoke machine rigged. We just have the actor stand on the unit while we use the smoke and light effects, which look really nice streaming from the steel grate, and give her time to remove the makeup appliances and costume to appear changed.
Can't help with the cow, we rented ours from a local college. Good luck with your show.

We made our cow a costumed actor and it worked to a pretty nice effect. Don't know if that's an option for you.
The trick to the witch's transformation (I've teched this show twice and was the witch the third time around) is practicing the costume change and coordinating with your designer to make sure everything is quick-changed to a ridiculous level. I realize that's kind of obvious, but you'd be suprized what a little velco can do.
When I performed as the witch, we actually built a "quick-change" costume based on quick-change magic act costumes, so it took literally 2 seconds to change. Depending on your prosthetics/wigs, they can be detattched backstage and kept on with a bare minimum (so the wig can be pulled off easily, ect).
One cheap and visually awesome trick is to build a cape with a large sweep, so the witch can sweep it up and around to hide the transformation. If you time it right, it can look amazing.
Into the Woods is a beast! Good luck!

During a local production of Into the Woods I helped with, they originally staged the witch to swap out with a body double during the song and just mouth the words. With the wig and heavy prosthetics, no one would be able to tell the difference.
However, the effect simply didn't work. The director wanted the witch to be visible fully the entire time. So the body doubles switched places.
The double was dressed as the young witch and would hide behind a tree flat which was beside a trap door. The real witch would hit her mark, drink the goblet and go down in the trap, and in a cloud of fog and flash of light, the double would jump out from the tree flat, and strike an identical pose right behind the trap. With proper back lighting, the effect was that an old body melted off the witch.
If you can figure out a way to do it, I highly recommend a trap door.

The spider web detailing may look really hard to do but it's actually incredibly simple. Plus the rhinestones add a pretty glamorous touch.
They create warts, boils, and even a prosthetic nose to further enhance the witch-like features. **The use of prosthetics adds a realistic and professional touch to the makeup transformation**. Throughout the video, the YouTuber provides helpful tips and explanations, making it easy for viewers to follow along and try the transformation themselves. They recommend specific products and brushes, ensuring that viewers have all the necessary tools to recreate the look at home. Towards the end of the video, the YouTuber completes their witch transformation by putting on a stunning wig and adding the finishing touches to their makeup. The end result is truly astonishing. **The video showcases the complete witch look and celebrates the creativity and skill of the makeup artist**. I highly recommend checking out this witch makeup transformation video if you're interested in Halloween makeup or simply enjoy watching the artistry of makeup. It's captivating, inspiring, and shows just how powerful makeup can be in creating incredible transformations. I hope you enjoy the video as much as I did! Let me know your thoughts and if you have any other makeup transformation videos, please share them below. Take care, [Your Name].

I was really disappointed with the witch makeup transformation video. The video quality was extremely poor, it looked like it was shot with a low-quality camera. Additionally, the makeup artist did not explain the steps properly, making it hard to follow along. Overall, I was not satisfied with the video and would not recommend it to others.
2. Mark - 2 stars
I found the witch makeup transformation video to be quite underwhelming. The makeup artist didn't show any creativity or unique techniques, it was just a basic witch makeup look that could be found in any Halloween tutorial. I was hoping for something more interesting and original. While the video was decently executed, it fell short on delivering any truly impressive makeup skills.
3. Sarah - 1 star
I did not enjoy watching the witch makeup transformation video at all. The makeup artist rushed through the whole process without explaining any of the products or techniques used. It felt more like a time-lapse than a tutorial. I was left feeling confused and frustrated as I couldn't follow along and recreate the look. This video was a waste of time for me.
