If you could do the makeup for any TV show, which one would it be?
If you could do the makeup for any TV show, which one would it be? Share!
Maybe Once Upon a Time? That’s the only one that came to me! I don’t watch a lot of TV shows 🙁
Thanks to MimiT for today’s question! Do you have a question idea? Submit yours here.
pretty little liars. Love that show, and the makeup artistry on that show is incredible.
American Horror Story or walking dead…i guess more SFX than actual makeup!
Ditto! 🙂
I love Once Upon A Time! Regina’s makeup and costume is hands down my favorite. What character’s makeup do you like the best?
South Park! LOL! OMG tho really? Dream job! So the obvious answer would be American Horror Story right? IF I got to pick I’d choose based on who I’d get to work with… so it’d be like… The Facts of Life in the 80s! Haha! Or Supernatural… just to be around Jared and Jensen and “accidentally” drop my brushes in their laps LOL
I would also tiptoe around workplace sexual harassment policies near Jensen Ackles… Kidding! Maybe. He tests my morals!
Such a great question! I’d have to say the Walking Dead for the realistic looking gore and Pretty Little Liars for more traditional pretty makeup styles.
Hmm, my makeup skills aren’t ready for TV, but I think it would be fun to do some zombies on Walking Dead -pile on tons of pale foundation, a big dusting of translucent white powder, black eye shadow all around the eyes, add zombie lips, and slashes of red lipstick on the face to look like gashes. Finish off with a big puff of gray powder from gray eye shadow. No need to wash or style the hair, the crazier looking, the better. And you don’t have to worry about being perfect or precise with your makeup, because it’s suppose to look messed up 🙂
Um, it’s kind of over now, but I’d definitely do Stargate 😉 Then you get a nice mix of ‘normal’ makeup, and more sci-fi/SFX stuff! 😀
I ALMOST said Stargate!! Yes!
I don’t watch a lot of TV. I have NetFlix and that’s it (by choice). Maybe “Mad Men”…I think the show is boring (I couldn’t get past 2 or 3 episodes), but its visual aesthetics are amazing. All the glam retro makeup looks would be fun to do. I also think it would be fun to help out on The Walking Dead making people look like zombies.
I agree with Mad Men – and one that is long gone – Sex in the City – four different looks!
Sex in the City would have been soooo fun. Four different looks, and all those fabulous clothes to go with them. I think SJP would be a cool person to hang out with, too.
Hmm, probably New Girl! It would be amazing to do both Zooey Deschanel and Hannah Simone’s faces since there’s such a stark contrast in features and skin color. So many options for the both of them!
I’d also have said The Vampire Diaries, but I don’t know how to do SFX makeup, so… 🙁 😆
Pretty Little Liars maybe? Their make-up is always so pretty!
The Walking Dead
Game of Thrones! Also to be on all those location shoots…
I was hoping someone else would think of this! great minds think alike 🙂
Dancing with the Stars or Pretty Little Liars.
I agree with OUAT, mainly because the falsies I see some of the girls wearing bother me sometimes, haha!
maybe an American Horor Story:freak show.I don’t watched anything expect crime series these days.kinda tired of love triangle in every shows
I no watch tv… Maybe the local news? The gals have always atrocious make up. I mean… Awful.
Ha! I was going to say the exact same thing!
Best answer!
I would’ve loved to do makeup for Gossip Girl back in the day. Always clean, glamorous, and modern.
Being Mary Jane
Game of Thrones and Revenge, so much party makeup looks in Hamptons. hahaha
Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, it’s an Australian murder mystery series that I watch on Netflix. It’s set in the 1920’s and I love the make up and costumes. If I worked on Once, I would definitely scale back on Snow’s eyebrows.
That was my choice as well! Glad to see another MFMM fan here, it’s my favorite show 🙂
American Horror Story or Showtime’s Penny Dreadful. AHS is contemporary makeup while Penny Dreadful would be that Victorian look. I would make it a Goth/Victorian look if I had the chance. Great question MimiT.
Definitely Pretty Little Liars. I love that show so much! My first choice would be Gossip Girl if it still came on. The fashion and glamour in that show was to die for
Defiance on SyFy!
RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE!
OMFG YES. This.
I would love to practice my skills on all the KARDASHIAN sisters !!!
Me too, actually.
Once Upon a Time or Revenge… Maybe Nashville since it’s so glam all the time.
Doctor Who! Both beauty AND costume! That would be SO much fun.
Keeping up with the Kardashians!!!
Downton Abbey – Love all that period costume stuff.
Like you, I don’t watch much TV. I guess it’s a good thing, I have a hard enough time with my OWN makeup, let alone trying to do someone else’s.
Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries! It’s set in the late 1920s, so it’d be so much fun 😀
Yes, I agree!
Going back in time….. I would have LOVED to do make-up on the t.v. version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer! 😀 These days, either Walking Dead, Grimm, or something that requires pretty fantasy-type/ avant garde make-up. Once Upon a Time? I don’t watch that show, but it they do really fun make-up it would be that!
omg you should totally watch Once Upon A Time! 😀 I think you would like it based on your post. They have the first couple of seasons on Netflix.
Mad Men, The Hour (BBC), Game of Thrones, House of Cards.
Totally Once Upon A Time! The makeup on there is off the chain! Sooo good! 😀
I would HAVE to say MAD MEN.
My first thought was also Once Upon A Time because you do both glam and FX makeup. Thinking along those lines I also thought of Grimm, Constantine and of course American Horror Story.
