Back early in the semester you hopefully created your Makeup Morgue/Portfolio Assignment 1 : Create a Place to Collect Your Makeup Morgue/Portfolio  If you followed  the instructions from the beginning, you dutifully have already

  • Put all your completed assignments into your Portfolio, whether you made a website, a Portfolium folio, a Google Doc, or a physical binder, or whatever place you put copies of all your renderings, research images and photos of your makeup projects after you did them.
  • Organized your assignments into project groupings in your Portfolio.
  • Labeled your assignments so they make sense to someone looking at the portfolio.

If you have been doing this all along, you simply need to show me your portfolio and you are done!

If you have not, you need to do all that importing, or printing, dividing into categories, and labeling now.  When you are finished, either show your binder portfolio in person to the instructor, and post some photos of it here, or if you have an online version put the URL to the online location here.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT HEIC FILES DO NOT SHOW UP IN CANVAS.

In class I (and eventually the TA’s)  will take your photos for you in the hallway.  However, if at some point you miss a week and need to catch up at home, you should come back here and re-watch this video, or if a member of your household will mostly take your photos, make them watch this too:

If you know you will be doing several projects at home, try to find some of of the useful objects (black t-shirt, etc) that may help you to make better pictures in the coming weeks. 

Here is an optional video on how to make a good acting head shot:

By this week you conveniently have a copy of your face outline sheet.  This outline can help you to work out what is your face shape. Compare your face shape to the following tutorials:

Link to: Common face shapes for men,

When you think you know your face shape, do an online search for “How to contour for a  fill in the blank  shape face. ”  You can also try looking at Pinterest Contouring Tutorials.  Gather together face chart source material  for inspiration.    The internet is filled with TONS of great how to pages and videos on this topic so you can easily learn more. Copy a part of your research (photo, link, etc) and submit below  to get credit. Remember afterwards to also to save your research for putting  in your Makeup Morgue Assignment so you build up your morgue gradually and easily over the course of the semester.  Use information from your search for contour advice/charts to inform your plans for your “corrective” makeup.

This is the official class how-to video, naturally, it is an awesome how-to for a “corrective” style makeup for a white woman in her late 40s, with a rectangular face, short nose, and scary eyebrows (me when I recorded it).  However, if you are not these things, you may well wish to watch other videos, either in addition to, or in place of this official one:

Happily, I have found a number of other videos of different sorts of basic theatrical makeup for different types of performance and different types of faces!  Scroll down to see if you find any you think you’d like to watch!

Not enough videos?  These and more are at my Corrective/Straight Theatrical Makeup Playlist.

What is “Corrective “Makeup?

Handsome young man from a past DVC Makeup class with simple but deftly applied contour to look even more fabulous while on stage and seen at a distance.

This week you will be learning how to do “Corrective” Makeup , sometimes called Straight Makeup. This is the makeup you do when you are on stage and just trying to look generally nice, and not doing a lot of aging or character work to look a great deal different from yourself.  You will be highlighting and shadowing a bit, and “correcting” things that are distinctive enough about your face that they could make you stand out too much in a chorus line. 

Before we do this, I wish to again remind you, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR FACE.  “Corrective” makeup “fixes” things that might make you stand out too much in the back of the chorus.  You won’t be using it if you are blessed by playing Martha in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, or Gloucester in Richard III, the Fool in Lear, or Mrs Lovett in Sweeney Todd. “Corrective” makeup is for looking bland, pretty and young.  It is super useful for that (especially as you get older), but it is not fixing something “wrong”, it is making you look bland, pretty and young.  That’s it.

While this video is not actually a tutorial on contour/”corrective” makeup, it is a pretty splendid, occasionally profane comedy riff on what “contour” is for in the real world.

 This week you will watch a video in class or online where I show you how I do my “corrective” makeup, or IF YOU CHOOSE, you may instead (or in addition to) select one or more other videos I have linked here online where people closer to your age, gender identity or coloration do their Straight Makeup or “Corrective” Makeup. 

You will then be assigned to go online and research “corrective” makeup tips especially helpful for faces in your shape, gender identity, and skin color range.   To help with this, I have made a page of useful links and videos that you can use to start mining for much of the information you need. 

If you are in Group 1 you will do a “Corrective” makeup in class on Wednesday, if in group 2 you will do it the following Monday.  Have me take your photos before you leave, which I will post to the group album or text to you as you request. 

If for any reason you need to do your makeup at home you should watch my video on how to take photos of your makeupLinks to an external site. so that your selfies look fabulous.
