The Classic Commercial Look
One of the most useful skills to have as a commercial actor or model is excellent makeup application. Even if you have your makeup done on set by a professional (which in most bookings you will—especially for larger shoots), many of them will require you to audition beforehand so it is in your best interest to have a good grasp on makeup!
Makeup has always fascinated me! I am one of those people who will watch makeup tutorials on the reg because I genuinely enjoy it. Since I love it so much, some of my girlfriends have asked me to walk through a makeup look with them from start to finish. To see the sense of thrill, empowerment, and confidence exude from them when they figure it out is sincerely beautiful to watch! One of these times, after finishing her makeup base, my friend responded in the most perfect and hilarious way: She looked at me, genuinely impressed at what she had done, and said, “I look like a porcelain doll!” Day. Made.
So no matter what your “relationship” with makeup is, whether you feel really comfortable with it or not, this blog is for you! My goal is to empower you, too, to put your best face forward and highlight your natural inner and outer beauty! Just as with my girlfriends, I’ll give you a step-by-step tutorial, and to make things easy, I’ll list all my favorite products in the tutorial’s description as well as below. So excited for you to book your next commercial gig!
