Makeup for Video and Film A Basic Tutorial

[@kamaropayne5226]

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?

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

[@chavannescott8023]

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!!!

Glad you enjoyed it!

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.

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

And she’s even more beautiful with out makeup 😍

[@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 😊

I need more of these tutorials

[@miriambaranov]

Thanks guys just what I was looking for.

[@Jordan-xj4ld]

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

[@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.

[@youngspiritsinging]

Thank you!

[@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

[@mattlow51]

Very helpful, Thank you

[@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... :)

[@fiercemakeup31]

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

[@kambleprathik9216]

Can we use generic makeup brushes ❓❔

[@rubyred7653]

Thank you so much !

[@PullMyFocus]

You are very welcome Ruby Red.

[@catkh4518]

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

[@jtheracer]

Yes..men need make up! POWDER!

[@FrankDellario]

And baby powder too.

[@jtheracer]

Frank Dellario Ah, so you do know me!

[@herrunsinn774]

[@deel6162]

[@kristinechristlieb1383]

[@vikas274]

Blue lips speaking, is all i see
