Males makeup- research

Makeup used for males in movies

Now that I finished the female makeup research I almost forgot about the males. In our movie the only male we have is the detective Marc Black. Detectives in mystery normally have this dark and grungy look to them.

Batman

One of the most famous examples of a detective with that dark smokey makeup look is Batman. For most detective movies they look semi tired and depressed for the most part. So in our film I wanted to achieve the same look with our detective. It can be classified as looking either emo or grunge.

How I Do My Emo Makeup 2024

• The tutorial begins with fundamental steps: having a clean, shaved face and optionally moving hair out of the way.
• The creator admits to skipping some traditional makeup steps such as primer, highlighting a casual, minimalist approach.
• Uses Revolution Concealer (shade F2) and a cheap Beauty Blender (described humorously).
• Applies powder after concealer, using affordable products like Target’s Fit Me powder.
• Emphasizes “less is more,” but ironically applies concealer quite liberally.
• Prefers using a brush for eyeshadow rather than fingers but admits to finger application at times.
• Eyeshadow application involves using only a few colors from the palette, mainly pink/red tones and blue.
• Eyeliner is applied on the waterline with a smudging technique using fingers, embracing imperfections.

How does this help the film?

This helps me in understanding how the detective should look. Also it helps me be able to understand how to get that grungy/emo look for the detective while making it look almost natural towards the detectives character. This will help the audience identify who the detective is and what type of detective they will be. Like Batman this detective will be extremely smart and well-equip to handle different situations like the murder at the party.
