By Katelyn Dingman M akeup artist Jennifer Harrison is gearing up for a creative Halloween this year, as she prepares her makeup to transform regular civilians into zombies and famous movie characters. “It’s really neat to totally transform someone and see them encompass that character that you’re making them into,” Harrison said. Harrison sparked an interest in special effects while she was enrolled in the Blanc Mcdonald Centre — Canada’s premium leader for professional training in makeup artistry, fashion design, fashion merchandising, hairstyling, esthetics/ spa therapy and nail technology. Harrison was enrolled in the makeup artistry program in Vancouver when she became interested in costume makeup. “I knew at the start of the program that I was probably going to be more interested in the special effects and prosthetic side,” she noted. “Why not do stuff that you don’t see in everyday life.” While enrolled in college, Harrison would spend between three and five hours completing makeup designs, including a dragon inspired look, for exams. Now the makeup artist has a studio in her home where she plans to create Halloween designs like Poison Ivy. Harrison said she aspires to be as talented as makeup artist Greg Nicotero, the makeup creator behind the AMC television series, The Walking Dead. “If I can be half as good as him, that would be amazing,” she said also giving credit to the makeup artists in such films as Benjamin Button and An American Werewolf in London In order to further her training in makeup artistry, which would include learning more about prosthetics and makeup buildup on characters faces, Harrison plans to attend Cinema Makeup School in Los Angeles. “This is what I really like to do,” Harrison said.

Safety is at our coreTeck is committed to everyone going home safe and healthy every day.
Be seen on Halloween – wear a brightly-coloured costume and carry a flashlight or glow stick when trick or treating.
Leave extra driving time for your winter journey, so you can reduce your speed in poor road and weather conditions.

Keep your little monsters safe and sound
Ghosts, witches, and superheroes of all kinds are getting
ready to invade the streets in your neighbourhood. For a safe, enjoyable Halloween celebration that is filled with laughter and fun, here are a few magical tips to follow.
• Choose costumes that aren’t too long and that are made of pale coloured, fire-retardant fabrics with reflecting bands. Don’t forget to put reflecting ribbons on bicycles, skate boards, and accessories such as brooms and swords.
• Makeup is safer than a mask.
• Keep a flashlight handy when walking the streets.
• Ensure that your children know where the Neighbourhood Watch
houses are in your area and plan their route with them if you won’t be accompanying them.
• Tell them it isn’t a race, that they should walk on the sidewalks and not on the road, and that they should only cross the street at intersections and crosswalks.
• Ensure that they only visit houses where the porch light is on and that they accept their treats from outside the door. Remind them not to step into strangers’ houses or get into cars.
• Make sure they understand that you will be checking all the treats they collect before they can eat any and that you will be throwing away any with opened wrappers.
