Love how makeup in movies is used to show the evolution of a character. This is way more interesting than just recreating a look from the latest popular show imho!
I agree! I never really thought about this until this video, but it is true and something that is incredibly impactful in how the character is perceived along the journey. Usually you just think a makeup artist will just go as far as doing what works for the outfits they will be wearing, not to affect how the entire audience will be perceiving the character as a whole. You think if they use makeup for this at all, it’s simply to try to change the chronological age of the actor/actress, and not the psyche of them and how the experiences naturally affect the look of the person, or reflects times they are more vulnerable, more uncertain, to more confident, thick skinned, capable… Sam really should make this a series where she chooses characters she finds interesting and recreate look with her input on how she sees them with makeup as a supporting role (if you will.) I think it says a lot she thought this wouldn’t draw in many viewers, yet it’s one of her higher videos regarding views. Must be a larger niche than she had thought😂
What an awesome content idea! I agree with you Dany and Rue. Never really thought about makeup like this before and she put it a lot of great tips and tricks to give a look or work into a makeup look even if you aren’t going for this exactly. How she did her eyes, keeping it so simple, minimalistic, but impactful without going overboard. This is a great way to get that glow or glass skin without buying 50 million products or greasing up your skin- which never looks good in person or even wears well if you are to be going for that look. But I adore the idea of her making this into a series, where she shows how the makeup artist was able to influence the viewers perception of the character’s psyche by makeup alone. I never really gave it much thought until now.
Your explanation of Clarice's makeup evolving throughout the movie was fascinating! Now I need to re-watch it, paying particular attention to her makeup. Please do more videos like this, Sam! Love it ❤️
As someone whose favorite movie of all time is Silence of the Lambs, who is from West Virginia (where Clarice Starling is from), and with an M.A. in Clinical Psych, THIS VIDEO IS EVERYTHING, Sam!
dressed as marla for halloweeen and i scoured the world wide web for that specific tutorial but it was sadly taken down. these sort of videos rock my world!
You are Sooooooo right. Her makeup is luminous. I’ve never taken the time to actually notice that before, but when I read your comment I had to go back and watch a clip.
I think my fave movie makeup analysis you ever did, has been Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman. I just love the fact that you do not do “trend” and “SoMe” makeup, which is about “a dine a dozen” nowadays. And this is why I will always keep watching.
your niche, nerdy, weird makeup looks are my favorites! the helena bonham carter one is unforgettable. please bring back your old pixiwoo videos! they're art
my absolute favourite kind of makeup is that cinema makeup from the 90s in particular where the colour palette is clearly inspired by the more glam makeup but is toned down to look as natural possible
@@wabi_sabi52 kate winslet in particular is a good option to look at especially in titanic or hamlet because the makeup is a combo of 90s trends but muted to match the more natural makeup of the time periods
I don't think I could ever convey how immensely entertaining these types of videos are. Watching you geek out over something, especially makeup in such a specific film/scene is very very fun to watch and also quite relatable. I too get caught up in looks that are probably rather random to anyone else watching. Yeah it's not "pretty makeup" as the masses would say but I think it's beautiful (and lets be honest, it's a bit of fun to watch luxury products like Westman Atelier get used in looks they probably never envisioned in the marketing room lol) Thanks so much for continuing to share your creativity and interests in addition to the stuff you "have" to do like the sponspored stuff (which is still lovely to watch). Now I need to dig out some makeup and get to smudging.
I love your movie character tutorials, the wearable and the more costumey ones. I am going to be annoying and ask maybe for the third time for a Rachael from Blade Runner look. It's my favourite 80s noir futuristic retro look and also my favourite movie x Please x Thank you x
Thank you for giving us the makeup artist on the film. Very few people consider the makeup in character development, but it’s so important. It’s a very wearable look.
YES GAWD - this reminds me of your video you did back in the day of Helena Bonham Carter’s look in Fight Club (cheekbones - HELLO❤). This feels very core to the artistry that I’ve witnessed you share online for years (Pixiwoo was my 2nd subscribe EVER and I have learned so much from you). So happy to see this kind of vid! I am a sucker for style inspo..
So lovely to see you back with a proper tutorial!❤ Please don"t ever think you could bore us with these kinds of videos, wether it is your "makeup therapy sessions" or "geeking about a movie character's makeup". I absolutely love hearing you talk about how makeup is used to show a characters persona and development, so interesting! I wanna go back to watch that movie now😄 It's also so fascinating to see how much thought and effort goes into such a "simple" look. I do love the look, it looks great on you. Have a lovely evening❤
Im actually watching Celine Dion right now and I'm looking at the 90s make up. Remembering my teenage years, good times. I love the silence of the lambs I will be paying special attention to the make up next time. Brilliant movie
Such an iconic character, I can't imagine anyone else doing this justice. Absolutely adore this video. Your Marla Singer tutorial was always one of my favourites and I got the same sort of feel from this 💜
Love it when you go nerdy like that!! This is so much fun to watch and I am like giddy you do this again. So please, don’t hesitate when ever there’s a film make up you love. You see what I, us mortals, don’t, Clarice’s make up journey was something I hadn’t noticed or paid attention to. That is something that will happen hence forth now. Yeh … love it!
I'd love to see a Catherine Zeta Jones look from either Mask of zorro or Entrapment. I always pause to see her makeup in those! Its a good makeup look for people with hooded eyes too. 💗
Sam will you be doing more videos like this? Showing how makeup is used in how a person is perceived by the audience, whether that being on broadway, in the movies, even on commercials to give and sell customers on a certain persona or status? You think about it and it really does help the audience to visualize and put themselves there or relate, even use time travel by using makeup as a tool to achieve a story line they are after/wanting to convey.
Please please do more of these movie inspired makeup looks, it is so reminiscent of how you used to do your makeup looks and I so miss it! Love this video
This style of makeup is so lovely and the way you apply speaks to my soul- brushes, fingers, smudging ❤ I’m 31, and I think about how I used to apply products in such a precise, regimented way- I enjoyed the process at the time, but nowadays, I love a smudge it on day
I love this video, I love the whole concept, I love the nerdiness of it. And I love when make up artist pay homage to make up artists in film and tv. I've always thought that Jodie Foster is one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood. She has perfect bone structure, a very sculpted face, high cheekbones, very fine features, And intense blue eyes. The makeup artist and hairstylist really enhanced that pure beauty in the movie. Her pale skin against her dark hair and her beautiful blue eyes just made her look so vulnerable and captured your heart and soul. You just rooted for her from the beginning, incredible contribution of those are to filmmaking
This is so good. You actually do look like her in that scene. Interesting how she attempted to look professional/sophisticated for her first meeting with Lector, but he saw straight through her. Another nineties TV make up I love is Helen Mirren's in the first Prime Suspect. The contrast between her character's make up and Zoe Wannamaker's character is great.
one of my favorite films of all time & just one of the many reasons you have always been one of my favorite make-up artists: you always appreciate the value & nuances of this art form ❤
I have never seen Silence of the lambs (or any other scary/horror movies) but I love this look. If I had a right contour sticks I’d definitely do this look. I love your makeup looks because they’re never “perfect” and tidy! The smudgy, slightly “morning after” look is more my vibe and you do it so well!
It's not that much of a horror movie, more of a psychological thriller. If you watch it one day, you won't be scared for days (this is coming from a very skittish person)
I also look at the entire artistry in glam, hair, and wardrobe of performances! You’re such a talented artist and educator (been following you for decades). I esp love your undone/simple looks like this. Def incorporating that dot technique w my shadow sticks 🙏🏼
I loved this tutorial! Silence of the Lambs is an iconic film but this is why I love makeup. Thank you for sharing your creativity and posting this. The look was beautiful!
One of the very best movies that will ever come out. I love nerdy things and i will wear the look but i need the mascara! You have captured the essence of Clarice perfectly, bravo!
This is what I"m here for. I love it Sam! I had to pull up the scene of her in the office and you're right, the closeups are so striking. I can see why this inspired you. Do as many of these as you want - I'm watching them. One of my other favorites of yours was Dana Barrett from Ghostbusters. I still want to try that one sometime.
I LOVE CLARICE and this movie! I always have! I was obsessed when it first came out! I thoroughly enjoyed watching you recreate the look! You are very creative and I like that you do content that is unique ❤
Come back from holiday and binge watched these all night. Watching tutorials is my relaxation and watched you since you first began. I buy the products and have never ever attempted to recreate anything other the foundation tips. I’m so boring and wear the same beige shadow daily. The shadow stick dot may just have changed my whole make up game and life . Love you Sam, what an epic series this is. ❤
I’m ecstatic that youtube recommended this video to me today , i love that this is one of your favorite film makeup looks it made me appreciate it a whole lot more i also love that you’re dressed just like her in that first scene
Love this! One of my fave films and knew exactly what you was talking about when referring to her face at the beginning of film. You have very creative ideas x
Loved the subtle but very specific makeup. Not a film, but I will always love Britney Spears' makeup in the Stronger video and JLo's in Jenny from the Block.
Never seen the movie (I'm a chicken( ) but I loved your explanations describing the evolution of the look and what each style portrayed for the character. Would LOVE to see more of those, please ❤

Please make this a series x

This reminds me of the Dana Barrett/ Marla Singer tutorials you did back in the Pixiwoo days. I LIVE for niche looks like these.
YES! My thoughts exactly. I am so here for this kind of content!
dressed as marla for halloweeen and i scoured the world wide web for that specific tutorial but it was sadly taken down. these sort of videos rock my world!
I can’t tell your how many times I’ve watched the Marla Singer video - sexy tired perfection
Yes! I watched the Marla Singer video so many times!
Yes!! I absolutely adored that video and used to comfort watch it often, along with the grunge tutorial!
I've missed these character based make overs! Glad they are back. Evangeline Lily one was my fav ❤
I feel that way about Cher in moonstruck when she's at the opera and she starts to cry. I have to pause it because her makeup is absolutely stunning
You are Sooooooo right. Her makeup is luminous. I’ve never taken the time to actually notice that before, but when I read your comment I had to go back and watch a clip.
I LOVE that film I'm going to watch it again and pay attention to the makeup!
This is the content I crave. I'd love to see one doing Julianne Moore in Boogie Nights!
The tutorial I never would have predicted, great subtle look.
Watching a clever woman do something, anything she's passionate about and fascinated by has kept me a happy viewer since 2009 x
I think my fave movie makeup analysis you ever did, has been Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman.
I just love the fact that you do not do “trend” and “SoMe” makeup, which is about “a dine a dozen” nowadays. And this is why I will always keep watching.
This takes me back to pixiwoo…love when you recreate looks and characters ❤
your niche, nerdy, weird makeup looks are my favorites! the helena bonham carter one is unforgettable. please bring back your old pixiwoo videos! they're art
This is why I love you, Sam. I've watched you and Nic since 2008 or 2009 and I always love your niche, artistic, very creative looks. Great tutorial!!
my absolute favourite kind of makeup is that cinema makeup from the 90s in particular where the colour palette is clearly inspired by the more glam makeup but is toned down to look as natural possible
Can you name a film or actress to look at? Your description of the look sounds so intriguing
@@wabi_sabi52 kate winslet in particular is a good option to look at especially in titanic or hamlet because the makeup is a combo of 90s trends but muted to match the more natural makeup of the time periods
yes!!!! this is one of the many reasons i love twin peaks and the x files, the makeup is so gorgeous!!
I don't think I could ever convey how immensely entertaining these types of videos are.

Thanks so much for continuing to share your creativity and interests in addition to the stuff you "have" to do like the sponspored stuff (which is still lovely to watch).
Now I need to dig out some makeup and get to smudging.
The grey sweatshirt gives me exactly what you’re planning to do :)
I absolutely love that I’m not alone in being an obsessive nerd about makeup in movies …this is my happy place
I love your movie character tutorials, the wearable and the more costumey ones. I am going to be annoying and ask maybe for the third time for a Rachael from Blade Runner look. It's my favourite 80s noir futuristic retro look and also my favourite movie x Please x Thank you x
Silence of the lambs is one of the best films and books ever and I will die on this hill!
Wow I never knew Clarice’s makeup was good! I have to see it!!!!!
Oooooh I used to love the film makeup videos on your old channel 😻!! If you like to do them please keep making them, I’ll for sure watch them ❤️🎥.
This is for me, movie makeups! I'd love to see more stuff like this on YT.
The title of this video alone made me subscribe - the algorithm is obviously working today 😂
Thank you for giving us the makeup artist on the film. Very few people consider the makeup in character development, but it’s so important. It’s a very wearable look.
Ah, Clarice your makeup it looking fa,fa,fa,fantastic.
I have watched this movie 40 times. It’s in my top five the book is also fantastic.
YES GAWD - this reminds me of your video you did back in the day of Helena Bonham Carter’s look in Fight Club (cheekbones - HELLO❤). This feels very core to the artistry that I’ve witnessed you share online for years (Pixiwoo was my 2nd subscribe EVER and I have learned so much from you).

Genius ❤️ could you do a Sharon Stone look from Basic Instinct, Sam? Would absolutely love to see this xxx
100%!
Saw the quote on thumbnail and immediately had to watch! Silence of the Lambs is one of my fav films ❤❤
It's funny that you said that no one is gonna recreate this makeup, I was thinking that it would be a great every day makeup look for me 😅 🤗
Stunning! It’s gorgeous for an everyday even
Love it when you go nerdy like that!! This is so much fun to watch and I am like giddy you do this again. So please, don’t hesitate when ever there’s a film make up you love. You see what I, us mortals, don’t, Clarice’s make up journey was something I hadn’t noticed or paid attention to. That is something that will happen hence forth now. Yeh … love it!
I'd love to see a Catherine Zeta Jones look from either Mask of zorro or Entrapment. I always pause to see her makeup in those! Its a good makeup look for people with hooded eyes too. 💗
or Monica Bellucci in la riffa.
Such a keen artist’s eye! I’ve watched you through the years, recreating famous looks or celebrities and you are always spot on! Brava!
This is fantastic! Would love to see more film inspired videos! I remember watching Silence of the Lambs in the theater, so intense.
Wow! Thank you!!
I remember that scene and thinking more about her makeup. She looked so good it pulled me out of the story😹
thanking the algorithm gods for this one, this is actually stunning
Thanks for watching x
You are one of those rare beauties that no matter with or without makeup and no matter your age… you remain gorgeous
Sam will you be doing more videos like this?

I will. Thank you for your input.
I didn’t know this was a tutorial that I would want or need but here we are
Seriously?? I thought I was the only one!!!! Her makeup is so beautiful in that movie.
Please please do the makeup she has in the other parts of the movie! These are my FAVOURITE videos from you and I've missed them so much!
Please please do more of these movie inspired makeup looks, it is so reminiscent of how you used to do your makeup looks and I so miss it! Love this video
I was struggling to remember the scene but as you progressed it was like dejavu. Excellent job!
This style of makeup is so lovely and the way you apply speaks to my soul- brushes, fingers, smudging ❤

This is so good. You actually do look like her in that scene. Interesting how she attempted to look professional/sophisticated for her first meeting with Lector, but he saw straight through her.

my favorite movie of all time. you did a beautiful job capturing the essence of the opening scene. very good!
Yes...YES...YEEESSS
Loved this so much, looking at the use of makeup in movies to create mood etc is fascinating.
Love the natural look
I also look at the entire artistry in glam, hair, and wardrobe of performances! You’re such a talented artist and educator (been following you for decades). I esp love your undone/simple looks like this. Def incorporating that dot technique w my shadow sticks 🙏🏼
Love this kind of smudgy 90s makeup. It’s the kind of makeup that can be done in seconds once you get it down and ideal for an everyday work look xx
I remember that scene like I watched it yesterday.
Love this!
I would love more of these film/character-inspired looks! This was great 💛
I could literally sit here just watching you and Nick play w makeup for hrs... I freakin adore learning and just watching!!!! Luv u both❤
So niche-- but so up my alley!! Thank you for this video!
I loved this tutorial! Silence of the Lambs is an iconic film but this is why I love makeup. Thank you for sharing your creativity and posting this. The look was beautiful!
One of the very best movies that will ever come out. I love nerdy things and i will wear the look but i need the mascara! You have captured the essence of Clarice perfectly, bravo!
Ok THIS is old school pixiwoo and it’s my absolute favorite type of makeup video. Thank you so much for doing this! Please please do more of these!
Your video on how to look like that girl from Fight Club is still one of my favorite things on TH-cam. I love videos like this! xx
This is what I"m here for. I love it Sam! I had to pull up the scene of her in the office and you're right, the closeups are so striking. I can see why this inspired you.

Glad to find you sharing your gift....some years ago..10 I discovered both of you. Saludos y gracias desde México.😊❤🎉
I love these kind of breakdowns because the makeup help tell the story. Love love this. Please do more!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻❤️❤️
This was fantastic! These are the gems I love finding on TH-cam. Perfect job
This is the best and most interesting makeup tutorial I’ve ever seen on TH-cam
This is really cool. I love minimalist makeup that packs a punch!
"Sweaty Makeup" 😂 I love it!
This feels like it was made for me! Thank you algorithm and Sam!
I adore the way you explain makeup. I have been watching you and Nic for about 12 years and I still love your videos so much ❤
This made my day so much better
You are so flippin talented ❤️❤️ love to see how using makeup, you can recreate any situation to look realistic!! It’s amazing really!!!
Come back from holiday and binge watched these all night. Watching tutorials is my relaxation and watched you since you first began. I buy the products and have never ever attempted to recreate anything other the foundation tips. I’m so boring and wear the same beige shadow daily.

More videos like this please!
I LOVE this! Please make more videos like this!
I think this is my favourite video of yours! So interesting ❤️ can we have more character make up? X
I would LOVE to see a tutorial of Angelina Jolie as Lisa Rowe in Girl Interrupted 😍 Please please please ! ❤
Fantastic. All the subtleties.👌
I’m ecstatic that youtube recommended this video to me today , i love that this is one of your favorite film makeup looks it made me appreciate it a whole lot more i also love that you’re dressed just like her in that first scene
Such a pretty everyday look I love it. Your top is even similar to what Clarice was wearing at the beginning. 🙂
I love this series. I’m so tired of hauls and new products from other creators. I want more of the artistry and application. Thank you.
This reminds me of your first videos. Maybe even before FashionFaceTV? It's very much my jam!
Also loved this. I hope you consider doing more. I was obsessed with the looks in Girl Interrupted..?
Amazing! Would love to see more of your film inspired makeup. Such fun
I love love love these niche makeup looks you do!!!!
What a brilliantly original and interesting idea for a make up tutorial video! Well done Sam , so clever. More like this please! ❤
Love this! One of my fave films and knew exactly what you was talking about when referring to her face at the beginning of film. You have very creative ideas x
Well, this was a super cool makeup tutorial!! Please do more "niche" ones like this!
Omg, I even used to dress like her!! This is beyond perfect, thank you.
I went back and watched the opening scenes. 👍🏻 spot on
Loved the subtle but very specific makeup. Not a film, but I will always love Britney Spears' makeup in the Stronger video and JLo's in Jenny from the Block.
Never seen the movie (I'm a chicken(
) but I loved your explanations describing the evolution of the look and what each style portrayed for the character. Would LOVE to see more of those, please ❤
