The type of makeup look needed to match each characters- Planning

 Why Makeup Matters for Characters: 

Makeup is a very important part of building a characters identity in any film. It helps bring out a characters mood, personality, and even how the characters wants to express themselves to the audience watching. For my short film, the makeup choices for Lena, Claire, and Micheal will help the audience try to get an understanding of each character before speaking. The main goal in our film is for our character's to look natural while still reflecting each characters personality's

Lena's Makeup Look:

Lena’s makeup will be designed to match her kind and gentle personality. Because she is supposed to feel soft and sincere, the makeup look will stay very natural and minimal. This may include a smooth, lightweight base, a small amount of blush to add warmth to her face, and soft neutral shades on the eyes. Her lip color will remain subtle so the overall look does not feel heavy or dramatic. The purpose of Lena’s makeup is to highlight a youthful and approachable appearance, helping the audience immediately view her as warm, authentic, and easy to relate to.

Claire's Makeup Look:

Claire’s vibe will whisper self-assurance and careful curation. Her palette leans bolder than Lena’s, with shadows that speak in depth and lines that trace intention. Lips carry a stronger note, like punctuation on her presence. Every flick and shade is a quiet signal that she moves through the scene with purpose, setting her apart.

Micheal Makeup Look:

For Michael, the makeup will be very subtle and used primarily to ensure he appears natural on camera. In many films, male characters wear makeup mainly to adjust how their skin looks under strong lighting rather than to create a styled look. This might involve a small amount of foundation or powder to control shine and balance his skin tone during filming. The goal is to keep Michael’s look simple and believable, allowing the audience to pay attention to his personality and behavior instead of noticing the makeup itself.
