On Wednesday I had a makeup class with a few others from Second Years and I thought it was so much fun and really beneficial. To begin with we got into partners (I was with Lisa Bertilloti) and we learnt how to a standard face of makeup for someone who would be on stage so we had to really give them a healthy glow and be a bit more dramatic so it would stand out on stage with all the lighting.
In the afternoon, we learnt how to do ageing makeup, which I found pretty difficult to begin with as I was scared of being to dramatic and for the wrinkles I had created on Lisa's face to turn out to look like weird crazy strippy lines! However, in the end I do think I managed to make her look like an old lady (named her Pearl haha!)
I thought the class was great, and I think maybe we should get to do a bit more of them, as then instead of the academy employing students from other colleges to do stage makeup maybe we could do them? Also i feel it would be a good elective choice for students to choose as the skills you would learn would be very helpful! My only downside of the class was that some of the equipment was running out so maybe it could get replenished and maybe some sensitive makeup products as by the end of the day my face was so dry it was peeling (but eep maybe im being to fussy on my relection! it was such a fun class)
