Adding Highlights for TV & Movie Makeup

Hi, my name is Sonja Gjokaj. I'm the owner of Gjokaj makeup and I'm here with Expert Village to talk to you about makeup for production. In this step, I want to demonstrate to you how you can actually bring out someone?s bone structure by highlighting certain features and you can do that in a few different ways. You can actually use highlighting products or shimmers and usually I would apply them on the high points of the face. Now Sheena here has great bone structure, so I can't wait really to bring that out and I'm going to do so with a cream based product and with a simple synthetic foundation brush; I'm just going to go in and saturate my brush again. You can already see on the back of my hand how the product highlights this area, or this curve of my hand, so you can only imagine, now I'm going to apply it right along Sheena's cheekbone and maybe a little bit right under the brow bone as well. And, like I said, this is a very natural editorial look, we're talking soap commercial, we're talking life style shots, etc. So you really want to make the models or client's face look as bare and glowing as possible. And you can only achieve that if you work with the light in the room and you can bring that out can bring, just like that, and maybe also what I love to do is to do a little bit on the bridge of the nose. Just stay on the bridge, don't go on the tip, just here. And again, brow bone and cheek bone up to the temples.
