Initial Make Up

In our advert we wanted to look like old men, it was important that we made sure that the make up looked good before we went to film, so getting the make up done was crucial, so that on the day we knew exactly what we wanted to look like and how long it would take to make us look like that so that we weren’t wasting time.

I was very fortunate to have a very talented make up artist as a girlfriend, so the problem of getting somebody ‘good’ to do our make-up wasn’t a problem. A few days before our filming date, I decided to get the make-up done on me, to get an idea of how good it looked and to see how long it took Steph to do it.

We had to look like your stereotypical old man so the key aspects of the make-up were:

• Wrinkles
• Dark eyes
• Burst blood vessels
• Bushy eye brows
• Flakey skin
 

The results were brilliant, Steph had done a superb job first time around and now we knew how long it would take to do the make up and how we would look.
