Dirtying Down

Products & Equipment:

-     Cotton buds

-     Kryolan tooth enamel

-     Make up brush set

Method:

1.      Before you begin, consider the storyboard/theme and reasoning behind the actors deteriorated look, also consider the environment and time scale. If they fell in a field, what kind of mud/dirt should be created? Will you have to work with the wardrobe department to match dirty downed clothes?

2.      To achieve a ‘No Make Up’ look…
- apply a base
- apply a grease/cream blusher
- use waterproof brown mascara
- fill in the eyebrows with eye gel
- no lipstick

3.      Dirty the palms of the hands, underneath the fingernails, under the sleeves and in the rips of any clothes
- think chipped nail varnish
- apply moisturiser to the hand
- use supra colours
- apply a darker colour underneath the nails

4.      For the hair, use brill cream to make the hair greasy, grease down from the roots

5.      Use dry shampoo to dull down the hair

6.      Crying/running mascara appearance…
- run a cotton bud with water along the inner water line

7.      Tooth enamel by Kryolan comes in gold, silver, nicotine and black with other colours also available to buy
- dry the teeth you’re applying it to with a cotton bud

8.      Dip a cotton bud into the enamel and put onto the teeth

Men should wear as little makeup as possible
