Backstage: Energy

I am writing this post from my little (or should I say weeny) make-up room at a film studio in beautiful rural Berkshire.

It's been a busy week prepping and now filming for a big energy company (who shall at present remain unnamed) and I decided to have a little change to today's scheduled post and share with you a few behind the scenes shots of my little make-up room; what I am up to in there and on set (albeit without any actual make-up shots).

All set up in my weeny make-up room

I used the narrow work surface for the essentials such as cotton buds and powders and the corner shelves for a little of my hair kit.

Beneath the surface was a little table which housed my Zuca pouches and brush roll.

With surface space pretty limited, I made the most of the wall and door hooks by hanging my set bag and EmJ Company Pencil and Tool Wraps

Although I am not able to show you any of the actual finished faces (simple straight male and female tv make-up's), I can tell you a few of the products that I used during the two day shoot.

I used a mixture of bases (depending on who was in the chair) including Vapour Beauty Luminous and W3ll People Narcissist sticks and Nvey Eco liquid foundation. For the eyes I primarily used my beloved Couleur Caramel eyeshadows and one of two or three mascaras. The ladies cheeks were given a little colour with UNE Beauty Breezy Cheeks Blush and for the guys I used my favourite bronzed from Nvey Eco. Lips were either moisturised with a little Suvana Paw Paw and Honey Balm or given a little colour using either Ilia lipstick or a W3ll People Nudist stick. Jane Iredale Beyond Matte HD Powder and Blotting Sheets was used for on set checks.

It has been great using some products that have been a little lost in my kit in recent months, giving me plenty of food for thought for posts over the next few weeks...
