These will hold up the longest under all of the environmental conditions. For example, you need the actor&#8217;s makeup to last throughout the night and not smudge or run due to heat, sweat, and possible rain.\n\nAs a makeup artist, you also now need to practice creating looks<em> on top<\/em> of a mask. After all, you and your clients will be expected to follow <a href=\"\/learning-working-during-covid-19\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">health protocols for COVID-19 safety<\/a>. (This is the case for <em>all <\/em>makeup jobs you take on for the time being.) So, think about how you can incorporate a mask into your haunted house looks.\n\nWhen creating looks for your haunt, one of the most important things to keep in mind is that the looks <a href=\"\/2020\/05\/master-makeup-artistry-course-sample-theatrical-makeup\/\">should have high contrast<\/a>. This way, they can be seen clearly in the dark and against the fog. Instead of worrying about each detail being perfectly blended like you would in beauty makeup, some of your looks should have harsh lines. That way, they\u2019ll be most prominent in the dark.\n\nYour base colors are generally going to be white, yellow, red, and black. You can use these colors to build depth on the skin. If your character is to appear frozen, for example, your base colors would be white, purple, and blue, with hints of red. Practicing how to apply these base colors will be key in creating quick yet realistic looks.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;44667&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_%E2%80%93_Time_Yourself\"><\/span>4 &#8211; Time Yourself<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]Lastly, keep in mind is that when working for a haunted house, you\u2019ll be <a href=\"\/2017\/06\/get-dream-job-networking-makeup-artists\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">working alongside other makeup artists<\/a>, too. A big team is required in order to transform over 30 actors in just a few hours. With that being said, <em>you\u2019ll<\/em> have to create a completed look in 20 minutes &#8211; max!\n\nSomething that I found helpful was to use friends and family to practice this on. I&#8217;d give myself 20 minutes to see what I was able to create in that timeframe. This also gave me the opportunity to ask myself, \u201c<em>How can I create this same effect &#8211; but faster<\/em>?\u201d\n\nThese kinds of makeup jobs also teach you how to prioritize and better plan out your steps when applying makeup. For example, I\u2019d first begin by using latex and cotton on my actor, so I could create a slash or open wound. While the actor is using a blow dryer (always on the cool setting to protect their skin) to dry the latex and cotton mixture, I would then begin applying makeup to their arms, neck, or other exposed areas. Thus, allowing me to create one uniform look without wasting any time!\n\nPractice creating simple cuts, bruises, and small latex and cotton mixtures on your own time. This prep work will help make your looks more realistic! The end result will be that even the tiniest details stand out just as much as the bigger wounds or <a href=\"\/2017\/05\/make-prosthetics-special-fx-makeup-business-part-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">prosthetics<\/a> you apply.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;44668&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3><strong>More certifications means a higher potential for more makeup jobs!
