A Reflection

So I wished I updated this blog more, but hey ce'st la vie. Anyways, I really learned a lot from this class. I'm not the best at makeup, I know that for a fact. But I'm really glad I had the opportunity to have Sue teach me all this cool stuff that I can use for the future. For example, I'm playing a grandfather in Little Women and now I don't have to worry about not knowing how to do Old Age makeup. There were times that this class made me want to pull my hair out and curse Sue and the rest of the world, but all-in-all I still had a great learning experience and a lot of fun doing the class.

Painting

Picture on the face.

2. So after I made the colors for myself, I draw the lines that are on the picture to my face.

2. Next, I start with the gold color and add that in

3. Next, I added the amber-ish color on to my face

4. Then the dark shadow parts.

5. Cold cream

I was a little disappointed with the way my face turned out. I think I could have followed it better and blended the colors a lot better.

I am taking this class because as a theatre major I am required to take this class in order to graduate. I'm told that this is a very interesting and fun class so that also makes me interested in wanting to take this class. And besides my knowledge of basic corrective, I really don't know all that much about makeup so it'll be good to learn all about the other types of stage makeup.

I believe stage makeup is used to help make the actor look better. Even just by putting on base, eyeliner and lipstick, the actor's features look much better in the lights and not as ghostly. But I also believe that there is much more to this class than just studying basic corrective, so I'm hopeful that we will learn about clown makeup and other types of makeup that will be separate from basic corrective.
