Everyone thinks learning makeup is all about making people look beautiful. But once you enter this industry, you'll realize that being a makeup artist isn't just about making people look beautiful.
Due to the needs of the filming content, students tried on domestic violence makeup for the first time.
At first, I thought it was just bruising around the corners of the mouth and eyes. It shouldn't be difficult.
A student has a habit of being accustomed to the steps of applying makeup, and insists on applying a perfect base makeup, covering dark circles and blemishes. This is a basic skill the student has practiced. Even for a clean and simple nude makeup look, the skin's base makeup is done beautifully, and the eyebrows are drawn beautifully.
The teacher is very pleased.
But the problem arises: when facing “domestic violence makeup,” is a perfect base required? No. Students learn from this and change their definition of makeup. Makeup isn't just about looking beautiful. If you need to apply “domestic violence makeup,” your whole face doesn't need to look beautiful.
Remember when a student said during practice: "Teacher, I don't need foundation. I'm not used to having an uneven skin tone."
Domestic violence feels like this.
The student learned to distinguish between the needs of the filming content and to correct their mindset and gestures for makeup application.
Generally, when we look at a screen, bruises are just bruises, and if it's not your responsibility, you don't overthink it. But if the makeup is your responsibility, you have to consider the contours of a person's face, which areas will bruise when hit, and which areas will just be red and swollen. All of these are taken into account.
