Rick Baker Making Up Rick Baker

[@rickbaker377]

Thanks Everyone. Glad you are getting something out of this practice session of mine. I hope you all have checked out the MAC RICK BAKER how to videos for my Halloween collection over on the MAC Cosmetics face book page. I 'm not sure how much longer they will be up. Also it is really worth looking at all of the entries for the contest. Some really nice make ups there, a lot of them. Im doing some make ups tomorrow Halloween, I will try and video them. Thanks happy halloween, Rick

Rick Baker ( In My Opinion) is worlds best make-up artist.

[@Sh4dowsla7er]

Just came across this video now and sad I have not found it sooner. Rick I miss working for you old friend. Rick there are soo many awesome talented people in make-up now days but for me you still continue to be my true inspiration.

[@dopehat868]

This amazing video along with the Danny Elfman music was incredibly captivating. There's nothing like watching a master at work. Feeling inspired 🍁

[@Warlord2029]

Rick Baker my all time favorite FX artist at his best!!

[@mikeelizalde]

Nobody alive, except Rick, is this damn good.

[@specterowl1440]

beautiful to watch. love the layering.

[@MrWhite025]

Rick, you're an absolute legend! Thank you so much for all the memorable work you did over the years!

[@cesardacoljr9016]

Rick this is wonderful, you made my day. Please keep posting. Can't wait to see more.

[@Switcher1972]

Nothing can beat the real stuff (take that, CGI). Mr Baker is a heavyweight of pure "real stuff".

[@soultaina]

you're amazing!! just looking at this makes me wanna go paint faces!

[@rickbaker377]

Thanks everyone. I wish I had a video of me doing this make up in London for my master class. I think that time was the best. Practice really helps.

[@creaturefx]

Incredible Rick! A true artist!

[@garrettriesen3320]

a true hero in the industry and grew up idolizing you sir, I attended the savini program in pa with high hopes for a career to follow in the footsteps of my heros and sacrificed everything to do so I sure wish I could have spent my time with one who cares as much as you. im a father of three sons in hopes to keeping our dreams of this lifestyle around and "I'll keep begging the industry so just maybe I could get a real opportunity to have this as a career instead of a hobby. your the best Rick.

[@SiliconHaloMedia]

Rick, you have inspired me so much throughout the years (I am not an FX artist, but a comic illustrator and indie filmmaker), and I am always surprised/impressed and blown away with every new project you are on. So I just want to say, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the amazing creations throughout the years, and showing me that anything is possible! Cheers mate!

[@mikoklubz1]

Mr. Baker it's because of you that I became a filmmaker. You sir are a God to me!!!!!!!!!

[@MrsKeane25]

Wow..... I want to watch it again and again. Such a pleasure and inspiring to watch. Thank you for making this available. A true artist.

[@stormyg1945]

[@alyssasmith3919]

This is so amazing, words cannot describe. Having an almost emotional reaction to this-in a good way. Fantastic.

[@makeupgirl4788]

[@NatashaKudashkina]

So great! My favorite part, the expression at the end ahah! And the smile :)

[@AleMeller13]

[@taichi971]

That's divine. Everything was so beautiful and alive. It was like a dream...... from Japan,

[@Forss_gt]

All I can say is "wow". I'm so incredibly blown away.

[@davidkglevi]

Wonderful! It's a free lesson from the worlds greatest make-up artist, so inspirational!

[@corey75952]

Just a nice natural day look... Lol I'm just kidding, you do absolutely STUNNING work Rick! Two thumbs up!

[@Ditkobeetle]

That was very inspirational. It's an incredible process to watch. Thanks, Rick.

[@myvirtualself]

Wow! This is incredible. Those blue highlights were genius. I love this!

[@rickbaker377]

Thanks everyone for looking and for the nice comments. Ed they are all MAC products.The activator you saw was MAC Gel Mixing Medium. If I can figure out how to do it ,when I get time, I will add notes to the video as to what I am using and what color it is. I will try to add more videos, not only make-up but also sculpture and painting. Speaking of which my Sculpting Schlitzie video is fun you should check it out too. Thanks, Rick

[@ScratchAttackTV]

Inspiring in a way that only a true master can be.

[@TinkersDamm]

Truly humbling to witness a master at his work... Ty. Truly Amazing!!!

[@jimmeskimen]

Marvelous stuff, Rick!

[@arvinclay]

Rick, you are and have continued to be an inspiration to me. Were it not for you and The Making of Thriller video I may not have travelled down the monster maker path!

[@tantaloon1]

Love the colours, that blue made it pop!

[@TheGorknMork]

Excellent video! Thank you for all your incredible work, and great choice of music to boot.

[@rgha]

You are genius. Absolutely adore your work and was so excited when your collection with MAC launched in London.

[@synb0611]

Amazing!!! You Sir, are a TRUE inspiration!! I've loved your work for ages! Because of you, I am a make up artist. I remember watching MJ's "Thriller" and telling my father that I wanted to be YOU when I grew up. May the Gods give you many more years to live and grace people like myself with much more of your art! You ROCK!!!

[@jukee22]

I just cannot use words to express how amazing you are at your craft. For over a decade I have dreamed how amazing it would be to work for you. Yes, tons of hard work but to be a part of something so amazing and spectacular would be so worth it. Ok, I'll shut up now. Lol.

[@Bedeekin]

Very nice mr B. It's amazing how people these days forget how effective a bit of traditional 'non-appliance' makeup can be. A master at work.

[@riotgurlie]

True artist. Just such stunning work.

[@bobbo924B]

You totally scare me, and always have! Keep it up! Thanks. I love how you're still having fun with all this.

[@Aliciahalie]

Wow. This is so inspiring. Thank you for posting videos so your fans can get a glimpse at your techniques and so we can watch you at work. You're incredible!

[@anisk82]

What an inspiration!!!!! Fantastic. The imagine is unlimited! Thanks so much for this fantastic Video!!!

[@es686]

As a currently lost (metaphorically speaking) filmmaker I've learned a great deal from watching the Thriller Behind the Scenes VHS tape back when I was diapers and since then much more. Thank you sir for your contributions as an artist. Best wishes. - Elliott Alexander Salinas

[@buzzinpoa]

This video is AMAZING! Mr Baker I've been your fan an following you since 1981 when I filmed the Oscar scenes of the AAWIL with my father's Super 8 camera! I was fascinated with what you had done with that transformation! I was 14 years old then and I am 46 now and I'm still amazed! I've been following your career as much as I can here in Brazil. Of course the internet got everything closer! All I want to say is that I love your talent and your art! I admire you so much! Thanks for everything!

[@jennifercummins1991]

Rick you might not see this comment but if you do I just want to say that you are my inspiration. I'm in art college in Dublin and my dream is to one day be minutely as good as you. You are a legend!

[@skiindeep]

Mr. Baker, I am, as always, left in awe... another incredible demonstration of your raw talent and wizard-esque mastery of the arts. You are our da Vinci... The Samurai Badass of Our Modern Renaissance. Digital art is it's own medium, deserving respect and appreciation no less than any other, but we all know "REAL" when it stares us in the face. Some of us still want to play, even if the power goes out... and from one monster loving big kid who loves to "play dress-up" to another... Thank you for doing what you do.

[@nathanforester5993]

I'm glad that I may able to see your work on here because I am a fan of yours, well I always have been. I think you're wonderful and talented.

[@Rayz0DdWoRld]

Wow,just wow amazing work Mr. Baker love your work so much☺

[@MachoCeaserSalad]

I could watch you do makeup for days.. even weeks!

[@Konni1969]

That is real art and you made some of the best movies happen.

[@thelilleza87]

This is awesome makeup and you are such an inspiration!

[@chicagoSUGANO]

Aside from the Makeup application, I found this to be a most exciting performance. A Hand Ballet/Cerebrum presentation. Danny Elfman's composition, Yes! Bravissimo.

[@taccora]

This is just an amazing show of artistry. And what makes it better is that you make it look effortless (though we all know that is not the case).

[@sydkins432]

You are so incredibly talented! I love love love this!!!!!

[@iRFANtgo]

wow I love the color shades and patterns. Learned something :) thank you for sharing.

[@nushkita11]

[@jasminemerriett3753]

This was amazing. I cant wait to purchase the products!!

[@ColJochen]

Very nice job Rick! Been a longtime fan of yours. Always top level work from your studio. Still a very big fan of old-school FX. Computers have their pro's and con's like anything else..it's just one of the tools in the box. Looking back at films from the 80's and 90's that had no CG I am astounded. I can appreciate the work more so than ever.

[@LetiziamaestriBlogspotItmakeup]

3D special effect. you are the Maestro!!!! affascinante

[@xvsusy35]

cool. love your blending and amazing how you began with black instead of lighter to darker colors. I enjoyed your video ;)

[@rickbaker377]

ProvineStudios, Thanks so much for telling me about your students, it made my day. I am always asked what this is suppose to be and now I know "Mango Man". I was actually thinking more Basil Gogos when I did it. But from now on he is "Mango Man".

[@katarzynaatlasik2071]

Amazeballs señor Baker ! As always

[@Makeup-fx]

Rick, this is killer! I'm so glad you decided to do some KZbin posts. That ending is perfect!
