Makeup for Camera: Day to Night (on-campus)
This makeup workshop in Vancouver is designed for actors who want to learn to apply their own makeup for auditions and self-tapes, as well as all other professionals looking to acquire makeup expertise to be camera-ready. Unlike simple, “trendy” makeup tips often found at department stores, the focus of this workshop is tailored to specific makeup application for public appearances and on-camera appearances.
- Identify and apply best practices of self-application techniques for foundation
- Apply colour correction techniques and learn to balance facial features
- Identify and analyze areas of correction required on your face
- Learn how to apply a “Day Makeup” routine
- Learn how to convert “Day Makeup” to an “Evening Makeup” look
- Gain a thorough knowledge of products in order to effectively source essential makeup items
- Gain a full understanding of how to build a substantial & effective makeup bag
- A notetaking device (video/audio recording will not be permitted)
- Please bring a water bottle, lunch, and a snack
- It is recommended that students bring their own makeup, including brushes (whatever you have readily available). If you do not have your own makeup, VFS will have select products for you to use. However, the more you are able to bring, the more immersive your experience will be.
- Participants must confirm they are at least 19 years old at the beginning of the workshop in order to register.
Students are not required to have any previous training or experience.
