  1. THEATRICAL MAKE-UP Chapter 13

  2. Partner Up! • Using template, attempt to recreate your partner’s face.

  3. What did you learn? • Are there specific features that distinguish that person from all others? • Did you take into consideration the age/ethnicity/gender? • What other traits did you try to recreate?

  4. H.E.A.R.T.H. • H: Heredity • Family traits (red hair, sharp chin, etc.) • E: Environment • Line of work, where they live, what time period • A: Age • Chronological age vs apparent age • R: Race • Appearance-related characteristics of racial groups • T: Temperament • Personality! Emotional character of person. Smiles vs Frowns – what do these emotions do to our facial features • H: Health • Ill health: acute and chronic illness – know the difference • Injury: what type? How severe? How fresh?

  5. Heredity

  6. This is especially important if your task is to age someone When aging, it is best to look at photos, or study older relatives of the same gender. If you have multi-generational photos, that’s even better because you can clearly identify a common “trait” that many in the family share.

  7. What traits might dominate future generations?

  8. Facial Anatomy Frontal Eminence Superciliary Arch Temporal Fossa Nasal Bone Zygomatic Arch Orbital Fossa InfratemporalFossa Maxilla Mandible

  9. Be a MAKE-UP detective! There are three places you should look in a script to find information about a character: Stage directions/descriptions remarks made by the character him/herself In what other characters say about him or her

  10. THE RULE WITH NO EXCEPTION NEVER, NEVER, NEVER… (I’m Taylor Swift!) Apply a shadow without applying a highlight!

  11. The TWO LARGEST wrinkles on most faces…. Are the naso-labial folds (aka – “frown-lines”)

  12. Physiognomy The practice of judging one’s character by looking at facial features. A large nose, for example, is often associated with a forceful leader. How would you judge this character, based on his facial features?

  13. CROW’S FEET…what are the causes for the development? WIND or SUN (any environmental condition that causes squinting) SMILING or LAUGHING (any repeated facial contortion that causes squinting)

  14. ENVIRONMENT is HUGE! SUN-EXPOSURE is the #1 factor in premature aging of the skin. TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR SKIN (MALE OR FEMALE) It’s easier, as an actor, to fake wrinkles than to hide them.

  15. Acting is not a ONE-TIME job: often, you are in for an entire run of a show, or film shoot. Your skin goes through natural cycles during this time-period. You want to take good care of your skin to create a consistent look. It’s not VANITY to cleanse, moisturize and apply sun-screen: it’s protecting an investment of the # 1 tool an actor uses on the job.

  16. Removing Make-Up • DO IT IMMEDIATELY AFTER EVERY SHOW! • Do not EVER sleep in your THEATRICAL make-up! • Remember – what you do to your face today, shows up on your face in about 3-5 days. (ie – if you sleep in your make-up tonight, there’s a good chance you’ll see a new pimple by the end of the week!)

  17. YOUR CLEAN-UP TOOL-KIT STEP 2: Wash with a GENTLE cleanser (no perfumes) – choose one for sensitive skin STEP 1: Cold Cream: very important to dissolve theatrical make-up first! STEP 3: Use a cotton-ball and wipe skin with an astringent that is best suited for your skin-type. Usually, rose-water for sensitive/normal or witch-hazel for oily/acne-prone STEP 4: Moisturize! (yes…even the guys…) Again, use a GENTLE moisturizer (one without retinols, alpha-hydroxy, etc.) OR, if in a pinch: swipe with a facial wipe until you can get home!

  18. HOMEWORK • Using a new template, go home and recreate an interesting face! • Find a photo of someone who has interesting features – subject may NOT be someone around your age – go for 35+ to give yourself a challenge. • Capture every feature – lines, freckles, blemishes • Notice shape of brow, angle of eye, fold of eye lid, prominence of cheek bone, etc. • Don’t forget cardinal rule: every shadow MUST have a highlight!
