1 min read
Hi all!!
I am super super excited and thrilled to say that a film I Keyed Makeup & SPFX is coming out in the USA today ! The title is 88 ! It can be purchased on DVD and Blu-ray or on VOD, Amazon carries it as well www.amazon.com/88-Blu-ray-Chri… !
Here's the synopsis:
88 follows Gwen (Isabelle), a young woman who comes to in a road side diner with no idea where she is or how she got there. Split between two timelines, blurring reality and fiction, Gwen gets taken on a revenge-fueled journey as she seeks out the person responsible for her lover’s death.
It stars : Katharine Isabelle (Ginger Snaps, American Mary, Hannibal), Christopher Lloyd, Michael Ironside, Tim Doiron, Kyle Schmid and Jesse McCartney !
I've put a lot of my own sweat and blood into it (well figuratively) and pretty proud of this. Can't wait to watch it..I already bought 2 copies on Blu-ray !!!

Hi !
A couple weeks ago I entered Make Up For Ever's 30th Anniversary contest online so I thought i'd share the tutorial link here!
It's a 2 min 30 second video on how I created my version of a mermaid ! I'll post a final result photo as well.
Here is the link, go and watch it, the views don't matter for the contest, I just want to share the techniques I used!
Make Up For Ever Pro Contest- Mermaid inspired by Monik Walmsley
I have been pretty busy the past month working on a new feature, I'm excited to getting back into making makeup/photography! It's my new years resolution and I want to stick to it !

Hi!!
Not even sure if people read this anymore... I have been off of this for a while, and thinking about it, it makes me sad a little; this site help me grow so much !
Perhaps I can write a brief description to what i've been doing for the past year (almost!) !!!
Sooo, after working on the feature called The Barrens (with Stephen Moyer, Mia Kirshner, etc) I did some gigs here and there (mainly short films), and got hired on to Key a Webseries in the begining of January called Space Janitors which you can now see the first episode here:www.spacejanitors.com/videos/s… The other episodes are somewhere on the side !
After that...lots of other shorts and lots of silly love stories, which shall remain unmentioned. At the end of February, beginign of march I was a happy camper being single , almost considered being a nun, and then my friend who had helped me on Space Janitors got me on as an assistant on the TV show she got! So....for months, and months, and months, I worked on a TV show called Paranormal Witness (Season 2) I believe in the states it's on Syfy !
We finished the show about 2 weeks ago, so much work, it was super rewarding and so much fun. And then we got hired on another show called Break Out, I think it's a Discovery Channel show...it shall be season 3 !
So....yeah i've been mainly busy with the show. Unfortunately all of the cool work i've been doing I can't post yet...because the show hasn't been aired yet. It shall come out on August 8th in the states !
BUT, I can show you guys a little something that i am super proud of. So last summer I worked on my first feature in Niagara Falls...and the trailer is out ! The cast includes Devon Bostick, Christopher Lloyd, Martha MacIsaac, Brandon Jay McLaren, Kyle Schmid, Brittany Allen, Rossif Sutherland, AND so many more!
Watch it now here : www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqN4Ag…
It's super exciting to see my work on there...andddd can't wait till it comes out in theaters (in the fall most likely!) then i'll be able to post some pictures ! DAhh !!
And....after trying to be a nun...an amazing, charming, man found me. He treats me like no one has ever treated me. I feel extremely lucky to be with someone like that ! And...it's going amazing! Yay!
So...hopefully i'll get a few minutes to post some of the little stuff i've done !
Lots of love,
Monik !

Hi ALL !
So, again i've been quite busy with work ! Photoshoots, short films, photoshoots.....AND, last last thursday I got a phone call by my ex Teacher from makeup school...asking me if I was available for the next 2 weeks...Of course I said yes; it was for a film in the IATSE Union, so bigger than whatever i've done. Anyway he referred me to the lady in question that was looking for an assistant. That night I was crossing my fingers and then she called ! Told me the drill, the type of work i'D be doing, she basically needed someone strong in beauty makeup and also strong in prosthetics. She trusted my teachers reference so she gave me the chance, I got to start the next day!
That night...I looked up what the title of the film was ( I was starting in the middle of the shoot, due to some other complication with the previous assistant, whatever.) and.....when I saw the lead of the film, I... literally, freaked out with joy. The lead is a main character in my favourite show... Trueblood !
So for the past week now, I've been working with Stephen Moyer ! I get to babysit my Key's work when she can't be on set, therefore I get to take care of the leads! I also got to meet his wife this week, Anna Paquin ! She was super sweet and....seriously, everybody is great. Cast and Crew is wonderful and I feel so so fricking lucky.
I mean, what are the odds of me working/meeting people from my #1 fav show? Anyway.... I'm super happy!
The movie is called The Barrens and it's a horror !
So...yep i've been really busy....and really happy !
I also ...have found again !...yes yes... a fellow colleague from the previous movie I did 
And he's awesome ! I'll have to post a tattoo cover I did on him !
I hope all is well !!! Lots and lots of love !
p.s. Anybody know of a good point and shoot camera ?! That takes nice quality pics ?!

Hey All!
First of all I appologize for not being able to answer as quick as I would want and for the last journal entry, haha it was filled with typo's ! I blame that..I was writting from my phone...after a day's of work on a film.
So now that the frenzy has stopped a bit, I've got more time on my hands, too much time to be honest. My goals are to get a website up and running, do photoshoots to get pics that I haven't got that I want in my portfolio, and then...try to find more film work !
That said, if any of you (or anybody you know) does websites, and is interested in doing a website for me, let me know? I'm not too sure what the price range is for a website =/ I think it's most likely pretty pricey. I'd want something pretty sample, but nice, clean and professional looking, it's pretty much just for my pictures !
Thank you ! I hope all is well !!!
