male makeup- implementation

  Trying out the Male Makeup

So after the nightmare with the female makeup I still have a chance with the males (or so I thought)

Male Makeup

So after completing the makeup look I realized that instead of the grunge look, he looked like he got punched in the face which is definitely not a good look. And after getting clowned on by people I lost a subject to experiment on (very unfortunate). Also males faces are much harder to do makeup on as before fixing it to look like this we had this:

It looks better on camera but in person he looked like "Count Dracula" and after that comment I knew for a fact that the male makeup had to also be cut. Unfortunately unlike girls you can't just add glitter to break up the "lost a bar fight" look so I really had no choice but to cut it.

What I have learned

I have again learned that I absolutely suck at makeup. I have also learned that the reason why no males really post the grungy look is because it's so hard to not get the beat up look. However I have learned that I am better at female makeup then the males. But unfortunately the male makeup had to be cut from the film. So to make the detective a more serious man as depicted in the script we decided that instead of the face being intimidating/serious it should be the body movement.
