Be Kind to Your Makeup Artists

Scholarly Actress (SA) is a favorite among makeup artists and stylists. Yes, SA is such a favorite as her name tops their hate list. These people unanimously do not want to work with SA, if they had a choice.

Before any performer goes on stage or in front of the camera, he/she has to be made-up. A bad make-up can ruin the beauty of a performer, whereas a good one can enhance any beauty-challenged star. In fact, several actors and actresses have been mistaken of having a nose job because their makeup artists have successfully created the illusion of a finely chiseled nose.

When SA sits down on the chair, she becomes too particular at how the makeup artist will work on her. Before the makeup artist can finish the work, expect SA to complain. Sometimes the ranting starts even before the makeup artist can begin work. Worse, SA can be so irritating when her hair is handled. She immediately says she’s getting hurt. It’s no wonder that her hair has the same style, straight and flat, in most of her shows.

Anyone who wants to look good in showbiz must deal with the minor irritations that makeup could possibly bring as well as the slight pain that tugging and styling of the hair might cause. As most performers acknowledge, “tiis-ganda” has to be practiced when one faces the public. SA, though she might not be as popular as the other actresses in her network, already has carved a name for herself, and thus, is easily recognizable. Hence, she can be easily criticized if she comes out looking ordinary.

Perhaps, SA can learn a thing or two about bigger stars who have developed rapport with certain makeup artists and stylists. We don’t hear about these bigger stars being the subject of complaints of the staff. Then, of course, if she’s as skillful as her complaining, then SA can do her own makeup, and spare the ordinary folk from her rantings. Though SA belongs to the rare set of showbiz personalities who publicly acknowledge they are prioritizing education, SA is proof that education does not guarantee character.
