What is Production Makeup?

Hi, my name is Sonja Gjokaj, I am the owner of Gjokaj makeup and on behalf of Expert Village to talk to you about make up for production. Production make up is essentially make up for either film, TV, photo. Basically, you might have to change the foundation, heaviness or the color pallet, because of different lighting situations. Now when we're shooting outside, obviously the make up is going to be a little bit lighter, not as heavy virus perhaps a shooting environment where you have to apply the make up a little bit thicker and heavier. That obviously wouldn't look good outside, but it works perfectly in a studio settings. You want to bring out the talent's beauty, and you want to make them look more production appropriate. I am probably going to give Shana a natural look, but it?s going to be obviously be a little bit heavier than your day to day make up or your daytime regular make up. I 'm going to bring out her eyes, maybe contour her face a bit more to bring out her beautiful bone structure and then maybe plump up her lips a little bit. And then later we're going to maybe we are going to talk a little bit about hair, production hair in general etc.
