It’s been a few years since I last blogged about I’m Still Ethan, a short film I created the makeup for a few years ago, but it’s finally out! Not only was I the set MUA, but the eagle eyed amongst you will spot my brief cameo role. Having had met writer and producer Phoebe Lorenz on another film set a while before hand, she filled me in on this project and the fundraising efforts and I was immediately sold on the opportunity to be a part of it.

The makeup was minimal but complex, changing through out the film to represent part of the development of the characters along their journey. Some scenes required a perfected skinbase touch and little else for that no-makeup makeup look, whilst others got a little more playful with subtle touches of colour and flicks of eyeliner here and there! Story telling is such a multifaceted art and it was amazing to see my makeup be part of that unfolding of this sensitive but powerful topic.
