The purpose of this blog is to provide information and experiences relevant to the Film/TV Makeup Industry. It may include tips and tutorials as well as rants and raves. As an experienced technician in this Industry I hope to impart some knowledge on to fellow Artists and aspiring amateurs and give people a taste of what actually goes on behind the scenes – good and bad.

BEND IT
I thought I would write a quick entry about something which I thought most Makeup Artists already did.
However, I have only realised lately, through people commenting on it all the time that not many seem to be aware of this or use this technique.
When I apply mascara to a client I always use disposable mascara wands for hygiene reasons but then I bend the brush so that it is at a 45 degree angle to the handle.
This makes it so much easier to apply the mascara without creating a mess and/or poking the person in the eye.
You may already know this but I just figured I’d mention it for those who don’t.
