Nope! I don't have any fun stories regarding abuse to a client, but I can tell you about some oddities that you might not expect..

When it comes to picky people, men overpower women. There's a few women who are particular, but by far men are more picky about their makeup and hair.

A scene that's 15 seconds in a movie can sometimes take up to 4 hours to shoot!

Ahh this is a good one.. Lighting. There's a lot you can fix with makeup but if someone has bad acne or a lot of wrinkles, that's a job for lighting to fix. They still expect us to perform facelifts and skin resurfacing.

The runner up is the 1st AD (assistant director) because their job is to make sure we make our days so he or she is generally rushing us and it gets old really quick.

There's some primers that are meant to fill in pores for a smooth surface. A primer is applied after the moisturizer and its applied everywhere, except the eyelids. If you are comfortable wearing any makeup, there are some good tinted moisturizers and now they even have lines that are targeted for men! As for scarring, depending on the color of the scar, you can use a correcting concealer and then a normal concealer over it. If your scars are red, you'd use a green correcting concealer. If they are more purple, go with a yellow correcting concealer. There's a concealer called "full cover" by makeup forever and it was designed for covering scars! It's waterproof and dries matte :)

Hey thank you! I actually am not much of an artist outside of makeup! I never painted or drew or anything. I didn't really think of makeup as being my career but I knew college wasn't for me and I liked the thought of doing makeup for runway shows and high fashion magazines. Little did I know that that side of the industry is horrible and doesn't make me happy! I then started working on film sets and even with the 12-16 hour days I love what I do and can't imagine doing anything else.

Doing beauty makeup is actually harder than one would think. It takes a lot of skill to do a "no makeup" look. I personally think it's one of the hardest looks to do. I also really love doing men's grooming. It's similar to a "no makeup" look. It's like a puzzle. You have to cover blemishes and bags but make it look like its their skin!

This is an odd question.. But I think you know my brother and sister in law, Scott and Niff?
