Today we had a session on makeup for the stage – the morning largely spent on what are the basics required to look good under stage lighting, and then in the afternoon we looked at special effects makeup.

I was “decorated” with badly damaged teeth, a rather nasty gash on my temple and a nose that was darkened to resemble the look that a skull has (i.e. the soft part at the front of the nose being removed). But this picture isn’t me – this is one of the other students who decided she was going to have a go at reproducing a rather unpleasant skin condition.
Gives me the heebie-jeebies just to see it!
