During this meeting, we discussed what we needed to complete over the next day or so to prepare for

the show. Paige and I collaborated together to create a list of tasks that needed to be completed over

the next week. This included: discussing / gathering ideas for Audrey Two’s hair. We did this by

gathering images to assemble into a moodboard of our ideas. We also needed to complete the final

face chart design. It was important to get this finished and into the folder as soon as possible as we will

need it on the night of the performance to see what products we need and the makeup design. We also

needed to complete the final design for the makeup to go into the production folder. Then, we needed

to ask the director about the changes for Audrey Two during the interval. We did this by creating a

moodboard of all of our ideas categorised into sections to better explain our ideas. Then, once we had

attended rehearsals, we needed to do a patch test for the eyelash glue on the actress. This is important

to do as, since we will be including false eyelashes into the makeup, we needed to make sure the

eyelash glue was compatible with her skin, as if it wasn’t we would need to get eyelash glue that doesn’t

contain latex. Then, we needed to ask the director about our idea for sleeves rather than painting the

arms green (for context, Tom (the director) planned for Audrey Two to have her arms painted green to

match her costume, however, Paige had deduced that using green body paint wouldn’t work for the

show as it would just smudge onto both the actors costume, and anything they touch throughout the

show. Therefore, we came up with the idea to use shoulder length gloves instead).


Once we had created the list, we went on to work through it bit by bit to make sure we didn’t miss

anything, beginning with discussing the changes. We came up with the idea of using red face and

body glitter on the lips, adding a few rhinestones onto the face and maybe adding in some fake blood.

This is to show character development during the show as Audrey Two gets bigger and bigger, the

character becomes more ‘evil’. Therefore, we had decided to use the interval as an opportunity to show

this character development through looks. Whilst planning this, we had to keep in mind that we only

had 15 minutes during the interval to apply these changes. 


We then decided to gather images for a moodboard of our ideas and to gather ideas for Audrey Two’s

hairstyle. Once we had gathered and arranged these images onto the moodboard, we went to see the

rehearsal for Act 2 of the show.

Once the performance was over, Paige and I took this opportunity to do a patch test of the eyelash glue,

placing a small amount on her arm and leaving it there for 5 minutes to see if she had any sort of

reaction, to which she did not. Whilst waiting for the glue to dry, we decided to discuss the changes with

her and the director using the moodboard.

The images above show the completed moodboard Paige and I presented to the director and the

actress. We had decided not to use the gloves and to just blend the foundation across her arms. This

may affect budgeting as we may need some more foundation to be able to make this happen. We had

also decided to just stick to using the glitter and rhinestones once again as the fake blood may ruin the

appearance of her makeup under the stage lights.

Pantomime Dame makeup evaluation

  For the pantomime dame makeup, I like the outcome of the eye makeup, the orange especially, because I like how it has been blended from dark to light. I also like the eyeliner both on the eyelid and below the eye, including the white, as it enhances the eye shape and size. However, I need to improve on being able to cover up my eyebrows and raising the drawn on ones further up my forehead as they were too far down. I also need to darken the contouring on the cheeks and the jaw. I also think I should darken the outline of the lips too as it isn’t as visible as it should be. This makeup would be suitable for a small and medium sized stage and audience as it can be seen from far enough away. The colours could also work underneath certain stage lights as they wont be blended together. edit: 23/05/2021

LSOH meeting 12:

  LSOH meeting 12: 19/05/2021 The day before the production. To start off this meeting, we began by checking through the production folder together to make sure we had everything we needed in there, including face charts, makeup designs, actors headshots and skin consultation sheets. It was important we had all of this in there as it was important we knew what makeup we were doing, how we would be applying it to the actors face and which products we needed to check for and organise. This showed good organisation skills as we were checking beforehand to make sure we had everything ready for the production nights. We then took some time to work in the LRC to polish up our blogs for a little while and add in anything we may have missed; this could include: adding in any missing images and any information on what we had discussed/decided on during previous meetings. It is important to keep track of all of this as it helps us keep track of what we have all worked on throughout the produ...
