H&P Expo 2018: Cinema Secrets Wins Artist Battleground

The winner of H&P Expo’s debut Artist Battleground facepaint and make-up competition was Jeff West, creative director at Cinema Secrets PRO Cosmetics and Woochie, with his incredible take on the theme ‘Creatures’.

Three of the leading face paint, make-up and special effect companies came together at the first ever Artist Battleground to compete for the title of Battleground Master.

The four-hour competition saw artists from Cinema Secrets, Moon Creations and Kryolan Professional Make-up competing in a timed competition to create the best ‘creature’, working to the theme which was announced just moments before the competition began.

Jeff was named the Battleground Master after his efforts were judged by celebrity artists Kyle Vest of Blast Effects, Nick Wolfe of Evil Twin FX and Bethany Lemanski of Gwen Entertainment.

PartyWorldwide.net spoke to the mc for the show, New Orleans entertainment legend Michael Durdant as the competition was getting underway to find out more.
