Post # 5!
(Under the cosmetic section)
It’s been awhile and I am very sorry.. If I didn’t up my work effort, I would probably have to go back to escorting to support myself.. (Seriously) but lucky, the cuts at work has been in and I’m safe.. So straight into it..
Last month I was on set at paramount studios since a friend was filming a pilot. (AKA unpitched T.V show)
My friend was a pretty good looking guy. Imagine guy next door type. Doesn’t have model looks but definitely not ugly. Anyways, so we’re chilling out on set and he’s called to make-up. He goes in and get’s the normal routine of cover-up and a touch of powder so there’s no shine on camera. He then went off to shoot his scenes.
During this time, I am hovering over craft services stuffing my face (and pockets) with the abundant amount of free food/snacks. An alarm goes off (which means they are about to film a scene) and I run back into the building to watch my buddy. (Grabbing a hand full of cookies on the way)
Director yells “ACTION!” and he’s off doing his thing. After a couple more takes I could see the director’s face was a little annoyed and pissy. I turn to a production assistant and ask what’s up his butt today. In return he replies “Jason face is puffy, and it’s not looking well on camera.. We can’t shoot him like this, Anderson (the director) is thinking about bringing his second choice in”
^ Tough business huh?
Anderson then goes and has a talk with Jason and the makeup artist. To come and find out, my dumb-ass friend decided to gorge himself on taco bell the night before the shoot. Yea, that’s why his face is fucking bloated! Shit, If I was the director I would fire his ass myself. I’m not in the entertainment business but even I know not to eat fucking Taco bell, a night before going on camera.
The make-up lady was a sweet older women. She rushed in and told the director not to worry about a thing. She grabbed Jason hand and lead him into the makeup room for 5 minutes and Jason walked back out. I WAS FUCKING BLOWN AWAY. He face was so sharp and define that he LOOKED LIKE A MODEL!! He went from a circular face to a masculine/rugged looking character.
I thought she tapped back his skin or something with invisible tape because he looked so sharp! GOD DAMN! Just to say, the director was more then happy what Jason looked like. Hell, anyone would.
I rushed to the make-up artist and asked her what the fuck happen. She let me in on a secret.. You wanna know what it is? It’s gonna blow you away..
She says, all it is, is shadowing the face.
Basically what she told me is this.. You know the stuff girls use to shadow their eyes so it looks dark and sexy.. Well, take that and slight brush it against your jawline and cheekbones.. And even down the side of your noses.
This helps gives a more sharper look..
But the best thing is.. NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW YOUR WEARING IT. It’s invisible and it can bring out features in your face you didn’t even know you had. The make-up lady said “Every star uses this trick for red carpet events.. Boys and girls”
Here if your interested, next time go to a makeup store and look for this brand
BEN NYE
This brand is not know to the public and is most effective since it’s make-up used for stage and film. It’s not the same type of make-up you can find at the mall or any retail store. A lot of beauty salon supplier’s carry it or I’m sure you could even find it online. I advise you to try and find it in a store so that they can help you, find the right tone for your skin.
Hell, if you got a round face, or haven’t been hitting the cardio as much as you want.. Here’s a cheat.
