Makeup Tools for TV & Film

Series Summary

Let’s face it. Without judgment or degradation, we can admit that most teenage girls today where more makeup than the escorts of a century ago. But this doesn’t have to be bad. Painting the face has been a religious and cultural tradition for thousands of years, and many people forget that makeup and maturity don’t have to be related. Wearing makeup for aesthetic reasons probably began with men, just like dresses, perfume, leggings, and jewelry. In different cultures different customs become popular. Think: it wasn’t so long ago that a male who manicured his eyebrows was creepy. We now have eyeliner-wearing guys all over the media and metropolitan areas of America. French nobles of the 16th and 17th centuries wore more makeup than stage actors do today, so let’s give our face-painters some slack. In this free cosmetic video series, the makeup artist from Se7en and Fear and Loathing in Lase Vegas, Eva Marie Denst, shows you how to do makeup for television and film. Eva teaches you to use makeup tricks from the film industry for everyday makeup as well. You will learn makeup tips for eyebrows, eyeliner, mascara and dark eye makeup. Eva offers advice in lip pencil, lip gloss and lip stick. It is all here from powder to touch-ups, and Eva's experience can work for you.

"Hi this is Eva with MakeUpMania and we're doing the video today on makeup for film, television, everyday and first off I'd like to go over some tools and some products that you'd like to get if you're going to do this makeup. The first thing you're going to start out with is on your tools you want all your brushes. You want lip brushes, powder brushes, eye shadow brushes, powder and cheek brushes. You will also need powder puffs, sponges, Q-tips are always a good thing to have, the disposable mascara wands and some of my favorite products is the RCMA pallet here. We're going to use that today; we're also going to use some pencils. It's a good idea to have your different eye shadows, I'm using Pigments by Naked today and I also have these really great pallets that we make at MakeUpMania where you can design your own pallet and you put as many colors and different colors that you want in that. So these are the basic tools and different products that you'll need. Today for the makeup video, we'll be doing some ideas on how to do a basic makeup. How this makeup can be used film and photography, we'll also be doing some little accents for everyday and how to make it look very very natural so it would be great for film, television and everyday. So that are some of the tools and products that you'll use for your makeover and you'll also have to prep your model. First thing you do is make sure that her hair is over like using either like clips or little bands. This is nice because it gets all of the hair off of her face, you can use the little brush here to help get it back behind the ears and if you need more you can just use a Bobby pin too. Next, we'll start doing our basic makeover on Amelia."
