Its just Make-up... huh?

As a Make-up Artist and Hair Stylist I tend to the people and critics saying the common phrase... "It's just hair..." OR "It's just makeup.. How hard could it be?"
I found this article in a magazine the other day and wanted to share it with the public, to explain what it is that I do as a Make-up Artist and a Hair Stylist that the 'norm' cannot do.....

*Transform a wimpy actor into a ferocious warrior, or a Plain-Jane actress into a striking woman who turns every head.
*Take brief descriptions of characters in books or scripts and brings them to life far beyond what the writers ever dreamed they could be.
*Create the evil monster who strikes fear in the heart and allows the hero to be brave and victorious.
*Create disguises that allow cops to catch criminals or get good guys out of bad places.
*Help emergency personnel prepare to face real-life situations.
*Enhance blushing brides and create looks that will be cherished for a lifetime.
*Help those dealing with injuries or illness to look and feel better about themselves.
*Enable those with birth defects and disfigurements to feel whole and complete.
*Offer a gentle touch or a kind word to the people in our chairs, inspiring them to breathe more deeply, gather themselves together and strive to be the best people they can be.
*See the potential in someone's face. 
*Make it possible to believe.

---I'm not saying that we always do all these things I am simply suggesting that we ALWAYS have the opportunity to do these things. Just something to think about.

THATS A WRAP....

Stressed.Exhausted.Overwhelmed.Sweaty.Restless.
Amazed.Excited.Relieved.Inspired.Impressed.


Just a few words to explain the weekend I had...With the final filming of Blood on the Plain.
Early mornings..Long, Hot days..Late and Sleepless nights... Now to a normal person this may seen "miserable" or "too much" but to me or anyone that was involved in this production... Its an accomplishment of a DAMN GOOD MOVIE. We had so many talented people working on this film and the outcome will be amazing! I expect nothing but the best from this whole experience and am truly blessed I was able to be apart of it all. I learned so much from just being on set and being in the environment. Made tons of new friends who I will hopefully be working more with in the near future. There is just something to be said for being in a group of people creating art and having everyone on the same level of passion. To have so many people so passionate about what they are doing is truly an amazing feeling and no words can describe the experience. Its very inspiring.
