Production: Makeup

My initial plan was to begin filming this weekend, but I realized that redecorating to fit the character's design was going to take much longer than expected. I am planning on using my bedroom, which is predominantly pink and bright and does not fit the darker theme of my film. As a result, I need to spend more time making the right ambiance for my film.

In the meanwhile, I decided to focus on another aspect of the film that I could work on. I started practicing the makeup portion of the character's look. I have been experimenting with different techniques, products, and colors to create realistic track marks.

here’s a little time-lapse :)

After finishing, I noticed that it was probably too exaggerated, messy, and detailed enough. Next time, I’ll think about toning it down a bit. I will also add more red hues and create finer lines for the veins.

With more practice, I will be able to perfect its authenticity.
