Her Way

For a production shoot, attention to behind the scene details is important. Before an artist faces the camera, much preparation is done to ensure he/she comes out best. Thus, the roles of makeup artists and stylists are significant. Their services are part of the production budget and some artists even request specific persons to handle their looks.

In the absence of a glamour team as requested by the artist, the production team provides the needed staff to work on the needs of the artists for the shoot. One time, the glamor staff exchanged stories and agreed that Determined Celebrity (DC) was quite a handful.

Being hired for a production means one’s talent needs to be utilized, as that is the service being paid for. With DC, a staff can be put on the spot. During production, a Makeup Artist (MA) was caught in an unexpected situation. As MA tried to do her work, that is, to enhance the looks of DC, the celebrity started to meddle. Giving pointers here and there, DC allegedly took over the tools. Thus, in the end, her look was hers, and MA could only stand back. MA would not want to earn the ire of DC.

MA was not alone in the experience with DC. Apparently, other makeup artists were subjected to the same treatment. DC would always get her way when it comes to prepping up. The sad part is that the makeup artists would hear comments that DC’s looks were not made by them at all. The impact implies they did not do their jobs well with DC.
