Successful photo shoot, published in the magazine -This is the result of the work of a whole group of people: a photographer and his assistant, a make-up artist, a dresser-stylist, and, of course, the model itself. At the same time, if the names of the famous model and the famous photographer go to the hearing of a wide range of people, the make-up artist appears to be in the shadows. Although without his work it is impossible to get that good result. The make-up artist is a magician, capable of making any person a handsome man, to properly »submit» a person.
As a rule, even the most successful makeup artistsRemain in the shadows: they do not take interviews, they do not write articles, and at best just specify the name in small print in the magazine or in the credits. While the visagiste's work is really interesting, every professional make-up artist is different in his handwriting, and it takes years to learn this skill. What distinguishes the self-taught girl who grew up with her mother's lipstick coloring from her dolls, from a professional make-up artist-stylist?
Often a professional is called a person whoGraduated from higher education and works in the specialty. It is interesting that makeup artists are not trained in universities, maximum - short-term training courses, and a very large number of good make-up artists are self-taught. Most makeup artists with education receive it in the field of cinema and television, as make-up artists for work on the set. People who have a make-up artist for working in film are also willingly taken in a photo studio - after all, the essence of the work remains the same. It so happened that the same person in different places is called differently: at the film studio he will be a make-up artist, and in a photo studio or in a modeling agency - a make-up artist. The creative task of the make-up artist can be very different depending on the project.
Minimal make-up for shooting in movies orReportage photo shoot is to hide small skin defects, make it smoother and cleaner. Usually, without a make-up, the nose of the actor always seems red, the skin shines, the make-up artist removes the redness of the nose, the shine of the skin - after 10 minutes of his work the person changes, becomes attractive, bright. A good make-up artist takes into account the weather, lighting, surroundings and many other things. At the same time, if such a minimal make-up is relatively easy to make, then it takes a long time to study the serious skill of the make-up artist: it is unlikely that they will take a person to a prestigious photo studio or to a film crew without much experience. Remember the movie Terminator 2? Arnold Schwarzenegger looked so convincing in the role of combat robot due to the complex plastic makeup. He had to spend several hours in the armchair, during which time make-up workers and make-up artists.
Can be slightly corrected, but can change toUnrecognizability. From an entirely ordinary person, he can make a handsome man, and turn a beautiful man into an absolute monster in half an hour. He is given a creative task, then the make-up artist, using available means, performs this task. The most interesting images are created together: the make-up artist-make-up artist discusses the idea with the director, photographer or artist, the make-up artist gets sketches, sketches, then embodies it in life.
At the disposal of a professional make-up artistThere is a large arsenal of tools for work: cosmetics and cosmetic materials, brushes, brushes, pencils, and much more. The make-up artist reminds the painter, even the instruments are similar in their hands. The contents of a professional make-up artist's bag are very different from those of an ordinary woman. Although a good make-up artist and with the help of ordinary cosmetics can do their thing, still in professional photo and video studios use special cosmetics, especially high-quality and highly specialized. In a photo studio or on a film set, under the light of powerful lamps, the usual powder instantly drains away, instead of it a special resistant powder is used. There are many such examples. A good make-up artist chooses his own set of professional cosmetics for years: he tries the production of different manufacturers in the business, and he stops his choice on the best samples.
Cosmetics and cosmetic tools forProfessional use are not cheap. Usually the make-up artist himself writes out a list of the things he needs and the means, after which the producer or head of the photo studio approves the estimate and buys everything necessary. If the make-up artist brings her make-up, then it costs much more. There are times when a famous make-up artist acts as an endorser of a certain manufacturer: the makeup artist all necessary cosmetics and paraphernalia is provided free of charge, and the make-up artist advertises the products of this company. But this practice is not very common primarily because in the bag of a professional make-up artist-make-up are carefully selected cosmetics from different manufacturers.
If you want to become a make-up artist,Meaning to find a young photographer and work with him: by taking a couple of »volunteers» as models, you will soon learn to make him a make-up in accordance with the creative task and conditions of the studio. It's not easy to get to the professional courses of make-up artists, but if you want to continue working in this specialty, they will be very useful. The main thing that a makeup artist needs is experience. An experienced make-up artist in Moscow can receive from 10 000-100 000 rubles per shift. This is an interesting and creative work. Without the services of a make-up artist, one can not do without models, photographers, or filmmakers.
