Audiotranscripts
Presenter: Hello and welcome to the filmmaking podcast. In this week’s episode, Claire Lamar talks to us about how to become a make-up artist. Claire’s been working as a make-up artist in the film industry for over 20 years and has lots of useful advice about how to get started.
Claire: Thanks, Ian. Well, before you can become a make-up artist on films, you have to spend about two years working as a make-up trainee.
A good place to get your first job would be on a low-budget short film. Of course, this means that you’ll be working for free, but it’s often worth it for the experience. Make sure your transport costs are covered, and remember, there’s very unlikely to be any catering provided, so bring plenty of food.
If you’re lucky, you might start out on a big-budget film, where you’ll get the most useful experience. On productions like this, make-up and hair styling are separate departments, so you won’t need to bring your curling tongs. But you’re likely to get the opportunity to work with a range of age groups, as well as different ethnicities. Doing make-up for special effects is highly specialized, so don’t expect to be offered any practical experience in that.
One problem with working in the make-up department is that it’s a high-pressure environment. There are very few times when you’ll be bored or have nothing to do. It can be stressful, but you’ll see that the top make-up artists are very professional, even when they’re having to work with directors who are impatient, or unhappy with the make-up artist’s work. Follow your supervisor’s lead, and try to remain calm at all times.
I’ve worked with many very famous actors over the years. At first, I found it overwhelming and could hardly speak. I was so in awe. That’s preferable, by the way, to becoming too excited and asking for selfies. Now, meeting the talent is just a normal part of the job, and to be honest, most actors don’t look that special without all the make-up.
Every make-up trainee will need a make-up kit, which they’ll be expected to have with them at all times. Just the essentials will do for the kinds of tasks you’ll be given. It won’t be anything complicated. It’s worth looking at what the other make-up artists have in their kits, but whatever you do, don’t borrow anything without asking first.
It’s very important to build your portfolio. You should take photos of all the work you do, and ideally show the different stages of make-up application if you can. But remember you’ll need to get approval from the make-up designer in charge of the department. As you’ll be sending your portfolio digitally, you won’t need to get photos printed.
Presenter: Before you hear the rest of the podcast, you have some time to look at questions 17 to 20.
(Pause in audio)
Presenter: Now listen and answer questions 17 to 20.
Claire: So what does a make-up trainee actually do? You need to think about whether you’re the right kind of person to do the job, and whether you’d enjoy it. So, to give you some idea, here are some of the things you might be required to do.
You may be asked to help prep an actor ready for make-up. Some actors will arrive having already cleansed and moisturized their skin. But sometimes you’ll need to step in and get this done without wasting any time. Otherwise, the make-up artist will get behind schedule.
Trainees play a useful role in continuity. It will be your responsibility to take photos, log them digitally, and print out a hard copy to put in each actor’s file. This information needs to be kept in good order, as a re-shoot can mean replicating make-up months later.
General duties mean doing anything from getting the teas and coffees to putting on a wash. Having a positive attitude and being willing to do whatever is asked of you will help you get your next film job.
You won’t be asked to apply make-up to any of the principal cast, only the extras. If there are dozens of extras involved, you’ll need to keep up a swift pace and not spend too long on each person. It takes quite a lot of confidence to be able to do this well.
Okay. Now, about terms and conditions…
