Onto the second day of old age makeup, and I was determined to do better than yesterday. I know it's all brand new things I'm learning, I shouldn't really be expected to get it straight away, but it can be a little frustrating at times, and often disheartening when something goes t*** up. Still, I'm intent on doing better. The demonstration pretty much continued where it finished yesterday, re-applying yesterday's make-up, with the addition of more colours and...

So this week, we'd be moving on to old age. I'm certain a lot of the girls were apprehensive about being aged, bearing in mind they'd be seeing themselves at least ten years down the line. Bradley Look (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0519637), an emmy award winner in make-up for his work on some of the Star Trek series, is our tutor for the week, and will be making us look old all week.

I didn't have much planned for today at all, knowing that I'd be up early tomorrow morning to go and watch the football, with a gig to atten...

We had our bald cap application finals today, so I was up bright and early so I had plenty of time to set up my station before the practical started. I was with Crystal today, and we eventually came to a decision over who went first. It was me. I'd chosen to use my rubber cap as it seemed I had less stress with it than with the plastic cap appliance I screwed up on Wednesday. Most of the rest of the class had chosen to go with a pre-made plastic cap, which in ...
