This is for the ladies to answer, or the guys if you can answer.
Right now I'm working on a new film short and my make-up artist is out of town and the others are already taken. SO ladies my lead actress has a light pimp (acne problem), and well I have but no choice to do the make up myself and I also have to buy the stuff in which I know nothing about.
So here is the question. What type or types of make up can cover her little problem and make her face look extremely smooth? Or anything that will allow hger to glow, what do you suggest.
Thank you and I appreciate your help im my little delema!

Brown= skin color. For the glow get "Face Illuminator." It works wonders. Also make sure she washed her face every day and uses an acne product.
To minimize the appearnce of acne and make her look smooth, you can use high-contrst lighting. retouching in the studio has always worked, ;)

A concealer is a good option and to cover up a red spot, look for a more yellow based concealer, because it does a better job in hiding the redness. It also helps to get a good foundation, preferably an oil free one to avoid further break outs. But it's vital that you get the right shade for your lead actress's skin. So when you go shopping for the make up, take her with you. And always test the colour outside in bright day light. Artificial lights in department stores or shops are no good. Simply ask for assistance when you are in a shop and request if your lead actress can try on a couple of shades, go outside with a mirror and the one that disappears in the day light is the right shade. Anyway, they'll be able to help you more with the right products. [ Paris's advice column | Ask Paris A Question ]
