It's Make-Up Testing Time!!!

As I'm planning to start filming on thursday (two days from now) I thought it would be a good idea to pratice the make-up for Tick and Tock, therefore I do not have to spend so much time in preparation for filming as I've already done it once. I wanted a sinister look for my characters and also, as I have long hair and Tock does not, putting hair up into a more 'boyish' style.

As I'm acting as 'Tock'I decided to do the make-up and hair for him first, and since Tick's make-up is practically the same, then I can just apply to same to the actor of Tick.

To make Tock's make-up and hair I needed:
* White Face Paint
* Black Face Paint
* Eyeliner
* Hair Gel
* Hair Bobbles
* Hair Grips

First I used the white face paint, used a sponge and applied to my face in the areas that the Tock mask did not cover- the aim of this was so when you are on film it looks like the paint blends in with the mask (however, it doesn't blend as well with a still camera as it's good quality and sharp, whilst film usually the colours tend to merge more)

Secondly, I got the black face paint and using the sponge, surrounded my eyes, then to fill in the gaps and to get rid of the pink around my eyes I used eyeliner.

And that's all you have to do for make-up! The only reason why that takes a while is because you have to put multiply layers on the skin so the white looks better and less blotchy.

Now it's time for the hair!!

First Tie up the hair into a bun, that way if you have long hair (like I do) it will stay out of the shot (hopefully!)

After putting your hair into a bun, if you have any long strands left around your face, use the hair gel to smooth it against your head so all you are left with is a fringe. With that fringe, you use the hair gel again to stick up as much fringe as possibly (my fringe has grown fairly long unfortunately) and style it so it looks messy.

All you have to do is put on the mask and voilà! You have a sinister looking antagonist! Make-up and hair success!
