Shaunna Harrison - Make-up Artist

Programme Outline

Shaunna Harrison makes a young man old.

After laying out her equipment and protecting the man’s clothes, Shaunna flattens his hair with wet soap ready for a bald cap. She talks to him as she works, to relax him. She applies pale make-up under his eyes and dries it with a hair dryer to wrinkle the skin. She fits the bald cap to his head, carefully disguising the edges. She adds a little synthetic hair and a moustache and yellows his teeth with yellow decay tooth enamel. The whole process has taken about two hours; the younger the actor, the longer it takes!
