STAGE

Working for the stage is special.

Many different characters, artistic and technical challenges come together and need to be solved together. I plan the design of makeup and hairstyles and work closely with directors, costume designers, producers, and actors/singers/dancers to define the desired look for each character. I design makeup and hairstyle styles that underline the personality and features of the character.

Makeup artists and performers must harmonize well personally. The right composition of the team enhances the preparation and application of makeup and hair. I apply various makeup and hair techniques to achieve the desired look. This includes adjusting wigs and applying artificial wounds and scars.

I work closely with other departments, such as costume designers and set designers, to ensure that the overall production image is coherent. Additionally, I am responsible for the care and maintenance of makeup and hair products. I ensure that all utensils and tools are in perfect condition and that they are used hygienically. I stay up to date on current trends and techniques in the makeup and hairstyling world to ensure that I am always up to date.

 

During rehearsals and performances, I support the performers and take care of any changes or adjustments to their makeup or hairstyles. I am also responsible for the quick and precise restyling of the performers between scenes.

Working as a makeup artist requires a lot of creativity, flexibility, and teamwork. It is important that I understand the vision of the director and costume designer and be able to bring it to life. I also need to be able to work with actors, singers, and dancers to ensure that their appearance does justice to their characters and the story.

It is a challenging but also very rewarding job. The opportunity to work with talented artists and contribute to bringing a production to life is something special. I love seeing the transformations that are possible through makeup and hairstyling and experiencing the audience’s reactions to them. It is a privilege to be part of the creative process and contribute to making a performance an unforgettable experience.
