The christmas pantomime.

The Drama students at James watt college were doing a production of Aladdin for the Christmas pantomime and we were asked to do the make-up. I was doing one of the genie characters the more serious of the two with Lucy. we had fun trying to design the plans and decided to do a simple base make-up and using aqua colour thicken up his eyebrows and add a comical beard and moustache, we also decided to thicken up his side burn using black mascara. when we met our model he was so funny and we discussed with him what kind of thing he was thinking and we got him to tell us about his costume and his character, we then explained our plans thoroughly so we all knew we were on the same page. when doing our practice with him we had a complete laugh and had fun trying to get the beard and moustache right, he found it tickle when we were doing the sideburns and wouldn't keep still !!! . once we had finished he loved it so we were very happy and excited for the day of the panto. on the actual day of the panto our model came up he was a little nervous so he wasn't as funny when he first arrived but soon after he was talking a joking away with us again. we spent about 20 min getting all the make-up perfect and fixing his sideburns he had a orange turban to fix so we made sure it looked good with the thick sideburns. we were overall really happy with the way things turned out and so were our lectures the fact our model was so nice and funny made it a relaxed environment to work in and we managed to have fun while working which i really enjoyed. even though on the panto day we were busy and rushing about we were still relaxed about it and i feel that that really helped us power on with our work. I loved working on the panto It was a great way to have an insight into what industry will be like, it was a great experience and it was really nice to work with other departments in the college. it was fun to help out the drama students and was really amazing to know that our make-up would be seen by all college students and citizens around greenock , i felt really proud of my work. :) I hope i get a chance to work with the drama students again x
