Last year, I went away to Filey for a few days with Northern
Film School as the MUA for their short film ‘Weirdos’ *as some of you will
already be aware if you follow me on @simplystevie9*
I got involved with this amazing opportunity through uni; they
always have loads extracurricular things like this but I’d not had the
confidence *in myself or my ability* to put myself forward prior to this.
This is where the actors stayed and before/during filming it
was used a ‘backstage’ area for makeup applications. It was also used for cast and crew that weren’t needed
for that specific scene.
The crew and myself stayed in a hostel in Scarborough, it
had no wifi or signal but they had chickens outside which was novel.
It was lovely meeting
people of all ages that were involved with the short film and I’d not experimented
with male makeup or for older skin types so while it was challenging I was
proud to have successfully applied to both.
Also I did a funky mermaid makeup look; I got to use some
metallic shades, glitter and temporary tattoos which were ace as it’d been a
while since I’d done a look like that!
I saw a rainbow over the sea which I thought was beautiful
so I took a picture...

Till next time,
