Being in charge of hair and makeup for a musical isn't easy, considering I really don't know what I'm doing. Fortunately for me, no one else has apparently done this job in a while, so I get a lot of leeway for just volunteering to do it.
Last night was a preview, of sorts, for hair and makeup. I didn't expect the girls to know how much makeup to apply, which is fine, although I was surprised to learn how many of them don't own lipstick. I love lipstick. Anyone who knows me will say that I'll wear lipstick even without any other makeup. I guess lipgloss is the way to go now. Maybe I'm out of touch!
But, otherwise, most of the girls looked good. They were generally cooperative when I came at them with blush, though a few are resisting my directions about the hair. I've let it go for now; I'll wait until tech week, when I'm armed with a can of AquaNet and I can say, "You're not going onstage until I approve you!" Maybe I'm a little drunk with power.
