"What's in My Makeup Kit?" features my favorite makeup item in my makeup box. Today's item is "Makeup Bag" for working filming sets. Working on set is very time-consuming. When I hear "Last Look!" I need to head out to my actor ASAP and do makeup touch-ups within 5 minutes. Sometimes, I have to watch more than 10 actors within this limited time. In order to do that, I take this clear set bag. I can see through everything in this bag, so I will know where they are. Most makeup

"What's in My Makeup Kit?" features my favorite makeup item in my makeup box. Today's item is "Tancho Hair Wax" for creating perfect flat hair. Tancho Hair Wax was created by the Japanese company "Mandom" in 1933. It was originally made for male office workers to keep their hair styled flat.

Sometimes, after many hours of filming with a prosthetic, edges get peeled and do not go back to the skin anymore. Then, I use this tape. I trim it into small pieces and t

"What's in My Makeup Kit?" features my favorite makeup item in my makeup box. Today's item is "OneBlade" for shaving the face without razor cuts. 1. This is my go-to item in the men's grooming kit. I use this for most guys (and ladies sometimes) when I need to shave their facial hair and body hair. However, shaving them on the day of makeup application is a little tricky if they are not used to shaving daily. If you use a regular razor, it might end up with a bunch of razor c

"What's in My Makeup Kit?" features my favorite makeup item in my makeup box. Today's item is "Monistat" for anti-shine. 1. I know what your reaction is... Monistat? Yes, it is for feminine issues. However, this specific Monistat is for chafing relief. It works as an anti-shine product and creates smooth surfaces. 2.
