Hot?

[sagesaria]

When I first put on makeup for Tommy, I was really worried about doing it right. I constantly asked "Do I look ok?" One of the answers I got from my fellow castmates when I asked "Do I look ok?" was "You look hot."

Now, I don't think makeup really makes one more attractive...but I'm curious about others' opinions now.



Without makeup:


Act I Makeup

kind of a sloppy job, I know...it's hard getting makeup on right DX and AAHHH my skin looks like something out of Silent Hill D8

Act II Makeup


By the way, I'm wearing a shirt family friend Chastity gave me; an OFFICIAL Broadway Tommy shirt! It's not quite the same as the shirts the cast made during the show, but it almost makes up for it. I wonder if I should get some fabric paint and customise it some :)

Anyway, thoughts?

ETA: No this doesn't mean I'm planning to wear makeup on a daily basis. I've just wanted to get pictures up and was bored and have PLENTY of excess makeup. And the makeup is all stuff I bought at KMart.

Oops. Left out a bit.

On stage makeup-
The other purpose of pancake is to make your skin
_NOT_ shiny. If you're too shiny on stage under that light, every drop of sweat will just show up like you've got a laser pointer on it OR your face will become a signal mirror.

TWO BILLION THUMBS UP

As a lighting director on two shows back in high school, i can vouch for this. When you're on stage, between how far away you are from everyone and the bright lights, you need to have makeup on you to look human. I swear, in the second pic, your skin would have looked fine on stage, whereas your natural skin would have been too pale, too yellow-toned, and too shiny. And that goes for lip and eye makeup too, Maugie's exactly right. You can't be subtle on stage. I remember one (black) chick who pretty much just drew a really big outline around her eyes in a shade just a tad lighter than her skin, and applied eyeshadow and stuff out to there. In person, it looked like she had cartoon eyes, but on stage, those cartoon eyes were exactly right -- the director said her eyes "popped" and told everyone else to copy what she did. Without that makeup, during rehearsal, her eyes looked beady and her whole face just wasn't attractive. The makeup didn't cover anything up, it allowed her to project her natural attractiveness and stage presence farther away from herself. (oh, and mascara makes the motions of your eyes more visible.)

Anytime anyone is on stage or in front of a camera, they have makeup on. No exceptions.
