About Me

..
WELCOME to Shay Lawrence Studio myspace! I have been creating Cinemagraphic Makeup and Prosthetic Makeup for the Motion Picture Industry for the past 10 years. I have been fortunate to have created Makeup's for leading actors such as Peter O'Toole, Sir Derek Jacobi and David Wenham to name just a few. Creating Special Makeup Effects has been an amazing journey since it all began at a very early age. When I first saw the "Making of Michael Jackson's Thriller" was when my dream of being a Makeup Artist became a reality as when watching the great Rick Baker at work, it became clear to me that Makeup was a real career. My extreme passion and desire to become a Make-up Artist burned out of control from that day and through alot of blood, sweet and tears I turned my dream into reality and from that I have had the chance to have worked on some amazing film productions, worked on location on some of the worlds most beautiful and remote places and created some amazing Makeup Effects for some of the worlds greatest talents. Shay Lawrence Studio Myspace is my personal space to network with other artists from established to beginners, I admire you all! Please feel free to leave comments or ask any questions. 2009 has seen the launch of www.shaylawrencestudio.com.au Please feel free to visit for information with Shay Lawrence Studio. "People often ask me what would I want to be remembered for. My answer is simple, to be remembered as the Make-up guy that brought a level of creativity, loyalty and honesty to my industry that is unparalleled." Shay Lawrence"The height of my creative activity is fueled by enthusiasm, there is enormous intensity and energy behind what I do. I feel like an arrow that is moving toward the target - and enjoying the journey." Shay LawrenceThe below clip is the Australian Government "ICE" Commercial. Shay Lawrence created the Special Make-up Effects.
