I'm not really a make up girl, I'm more a "cover your face in vaseline and go horse riding in a force 8 gale" type.
However, I am now "on camera talent" to coin the phrase and have my very own "Mac Pro" Card - so I decided to brave the depths of Neal St ( too trendy by half) yesterday afternoon and get shown how to do make up for a shoot.
What a performance - it takes an hour to do make up properly and even then I don't look that fab. But what is startling is how much make up it takes to even show up under lights. What looks and feels like half a ton of slap in real life, is hardly seen on a camera. See Exhibit 1 - 50 tonnes of eyeliner not looking like 50 tonnes of eyeliner. Weird!

i seem to look younger than i am when i'm all "tarted up". and since i have that eye problem, i can't keep eyeliner on for very long, so i've improvised. i take a special eyeshadow brush and line the bottom of my eye with eyeshadow. hard to tell the difference and looks really neat. at least, i think so.
