Hi, I need help, whoever has ideas that would help me I'll thank you forever. My sister is directing a movie and I'm going to be acting in it but I'm supposed to do my own makeup and I don't know how to!! And what kinda makeup is important for video?? All I own is eyeshadow in: brown, whitish-beige& gold, lipgloss, mascara, an olive green eye pencil, blush and bronzer. And I can brow from my mom some other stuff, and foundation- I think that's how you say it.. They're shooting it tomorrow and I'm freaking out!! Please help? Thanks!!

What's your role in that video? it actually depends on your role youre playing.

The main role is a guy whose dad is drunk and abusive and is starting to do drugs and illegal stuff. I'm going to be his older sister, who takes care of him and their little sister, and I got some scenes when I'm yelling at him and stuff because my character is always responsible.. Is that enough info about the role? Thanks!

For makeup when your acting, especially when your being filmed you need to make sure that you don't have a shiny face, so setting your makeup with powder, and not using anything that has sun screen in it is important. Don't over do it, but maybe a little more makeup than normal would be good so it shows up on camera.

I would make sure you have a flawless face using foundation, concealer & if you can contour. Then keep a nude eye with a light Brown eyeshadow, mascara, and eyeliner. Now Just some lipgloss and you should be perfect to go (:

Wear a little more make up than you usually do but still keep it natural looking. Also I would put some color on my lips just to make them pop nothing too heavy or real dark. Hope this helps :)

If your sister is directing the movie she should have a particular image of the character in mind so you should probably consult her first.
If you want my opinion, when I think about a dramatic movie (abusive father, alcoholism, drugs, etc) I just don't picture the part of a daughter of an abusive dad looking all glam with bronzey eyes and contoured cheeks. That's just my opinion.

I agree with Missy. Keep your make up natural since your role is not party girl or something.

Just a little help.. I'm with no make up in the pic, and when I put on natural makeup it's blush and a little bit of eyeliner.. Should I do something else?
