Uk mini tour - Life as a makeup artist...

At last, I'm feeling so much better and have finally shaken off this horrible cold. Luckily last week was spent having meetings with production companies about up coming shoots.. Not sure that I would have been able to do makeup while I was coughing everywhere... Not hygienic for models and actors... Not fair to spread germs, breathing in strangers faces is not on..happily I had plenty to do with prepping for this Thomas Cook commercial.

Here I am today, overlooking the River Thames, filming in the Thomas Cook online store.. The brief is to glam up the staff, adding some nice colours in an office usually filled with black clothes... Why, oh why do we so love to wear black in the UK?? Makeup will be simple, ladies looking glossy and groomed.. Will put the guys in some nice ties, maybe some fitted, coloured shirt.. Grey might be nice???

The crew all seem very nice, though I've only met the producer once before.. Guess by wed night, when we have all traveled to Manchester and Peterborough together, I'm sure we will be best friends!!! Or avoiding one and other in the future!! Just heard that some crew are flying onto Tenerife for the last 2 days this week.. Shame all I'm providing is the costume for this part of the shoot..

Can you imagine all the work that goes into a 90 second commercial???
