Makeup for Video and Film A Basic Tutorial

We're going to show you a basic makeup process that will help improve your filmmaking projects.
For a lot of filmmakers, due to limited resources, you probably ask your female actors to handle their own makeup, and for the men, well, they’re fine. Men don’t wear makeup anyway, right?
But on video, would it help if men had some makeup? Does everyday makeup an actress puts on work for film?
Our guest, makeup artist Jocelyn Barrios, demonstrates how to apply powder for men, basic makeup for women and what type of makeup and brushes to buy.
Welcome to Pull My Focus, adventures in the world of digital filmmaking, where we provide you with the tips, tricks, and techniques you need to produce great video.

I’m doing makeup on a film for the first time in a few weeks, and while I am a makeup obsessed person, with thousands of dollars worth of cosmetics, I’m volunteering, and am not a pro MUA; so THANKS for the tips 🏆🏆 They better hire me as an actor next time, which is what I’m actually good at haha. I’m not bad at makeup either 😕 Hey, I do suck. How’d you know?

[@storytimepsychicalliance483]

Good tip about using the same light to put makeup on as the light you’re shooting in. Great video!

[@queenshad1161]

I feel her makeup was kind of mask-like/too light in color for HD. Men’s makeup, using a pore minimizer under translucent powder does wonders at smoothing the skin without looking like makeup

[@PullMyFocus]

The female makeup was meant to be very basic and light. Color would be a whole other video. Tell me more about the pore minimizer.

[@queenshad1161]

Pull My Focus I understand light as in texture but her actual shade was too light for her. In HD it’ll look like she has a floating head because it shows the difference in color more. This is why foundations marketed as “HD” tend to offer much more shades because the match is very important. I find the recommendation for a matte foundation was also not a good choice. Skin is naturally slightly reflective. A matte foundation looks too powdery and like makeup. Demi-matte or satin finish foundations look most realistic which is why the RCMA and other HD creams are so popular in HD conditions. Cream foundation matches that more skin-like finish. Men can pull off just using powder because due to more testosterone, men’s skin is more oily. A powder on top mixes with the natural oils and gives a semi matte finish. “Dry skin” for men is more similar to “oily skin” for women. As for pore minimizers, a few brands offer them. There’s Smashbox, Benefit, NYX etc. Some are clear, some are tinted. If they’re tinted they’ll be okay for lighter complexions but darker complexions may need a tinted powder over to prevent the ashiness. Ben Nye has good ones for darker skin that merely add a tint as translucent powders tend to pull ashy on darker skin anyway.

Love the humor and fun but most importantly I learned more in this 6+min video than I did in a 60min I just finished watching! 🎉Thank y'all!!!

[@PullMyFocus]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@amberleaf7]

I love it when people say Et Cetera correctly. Point, Jocelyn.

[@miriambaranov]

Thanks guys just what I was looking for.

[@chin-chincorado7696]

I need more of these tutorials

[@mattlow51]

Very helpful, Thank you

[@youngspiritsinging]

Thank you!

[@Jordan-xj4ld]

Could you perhaps do something similar to this but with covering acne and blemishes for film?

[@rubyred7653]

And she’s even more beautiful with out makeup 😍

[@rubyred7653]

Thank you so much !

[@PullMyFocus]

You are very welcome Ruby Red.

[@IwannatrywithKat]

I don't really wear makeup, and I just bought some foundation. I hope I don't look like a ghost since I'm not familiar with how to contour with foundation. These tips were really good. I watched another video on makeup for filming, but they had a professional, so upon your recommendation, I might just skip the highliner... I'm not too good at it anyway.

[@saskiacornish7126]

There must be a way to do female makeup that is more natural-looking and similar to men's? The crew of the Netflix show Anne with an E were fantastic on this; I couldn't believe they hired makeup artists because it was set in 1895 and everyone looked so natural (this is a far cry from most Hollywood where all women's faced are blurred and polished to perfection). I would be interested to see a more minimal 'no makeup' look for females. Thank you :)

[@PullMyFocus]

Great question. There is a way this is done and I will look into creating a video on it.

[@saskiacornish7126]

@@PullMyFocus thanks so much 😊

[@differentone_p]

Jocelyn has something asian in her facial features. I like it. Also, good video. I realized how makeup can improve my appearance. It seems to be easy

[@catkh4518]

That's one easier way to do it I guess😂 good to know

[@kambleprathik9216]

Can we use generic makeup brushes ❓❔

[@fiercemakeup31]

Too light...make sure its 1/2 shade darker at least except for dark tones.

[@SWAY222]

"because you suck" was funny..thanks for required info.

Nice reference.

[@madnessbydesign1415]

Thanks! Some people call me a hero - but really, I do it all for the children... :)

[@jtheracer]

Yes..men need make up! POWDER!

[@FrankDellario]

And baby powder too.

[@jtheracer]

Frank Dellario Ah, so you do know me!

[@deel6162]

makeup wipes.....ohh dear..

[@herrunsinn774]

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!... The first 5 seconds scared me away. This is the best she can do? 😳😱 😨

[@vikas274]

Blue lips speaking, is all i see

[@kristinechristlieb1383]

her blue lipstick is too distracting . . . not watching this

[@Jordan-xj4ld]

Could you perhaps do something similar to this but with covering acne and blemishes for film?

[@PullMyFocus]

Good question. We will look into it.
