Wicked the Musical - Alexia Khadime discusses make-up
Poziom:
Temat: Sztuka i rozrywka
I play the role of Elphaba in Wicked, so I’m the green girl, evidently.
How long does it take to put your make-up on?
Roughly on average about thirty to forty minutes it takes to do the make-up.
We use a water based paint,
which makes it easier I suppose to get off, it’s not a grease based one it’s a water based one.
Originally it was taking me forever, I was like, why isn’t this stuff coming off!
No I’m joking!
It’s quite quick now because I’ve got the right removers and the right cleansers and things like that.
It probably takes, I don’t know, about fifteen minutes.
It does rub off a little bit, but you know the girls are backstage,
Georgia’s backstage, helping me out and touching me up if it kind of tends to start rubbing off a little.
And you always have help doing your make-up, every evening, every performance?
Yes, I do. I think I’d be really horrible at it, if I did it myself.
But Georgia’s great.
So basically I’ve just started to put my main colour on green.
It goes all over my face, in my ears and I also do my hands.
You notice that my nails are painted as well green, they have to be painted.
So now I’m just starting to put on my lip.
I literally, what I tend to do is line my lip first, then fill in with the colour green that matches.
Georgia’s actually powdering me so that the colour stays and dries.
Georgia’s probably going to highlight my cheeks.
She highlights with a day glow, is it called day glow?
It’s a day glow, a kind of UV, sort of, on my cheeks – again still green!
My actual greens that I use, there’s three different greens mixed together
to get the greens that they wanted.
So it’s different for me as appose to the different Elphabas who’ve played it round the world.
Georgia’s now giving me a little blusher and it’s a purple colour
which I suppose gives me a little more structure to my face.
My eyes where she highlights my brow and makes it all stand out a little bit more.
Now she’s filling an eye shadow with a purpley colour again.
In act two though I tend to have a little bit of black,
slightly more of an older looking Elphaba, this is the more fresh younger looking Elphaba.
I’m going to quickly powder my hand so I can do my other hand.
Georgia’s now doing my eyebrows.
It’s just a black that she uses to do my brow.
Now just mascara obviously just to bring out the eyes and that’s pretty much it.
Once I’ve done my hands, and I let them dry a little, I’ll be pretty much done make-up wise.
Someone comes to help me get dressed in all my stuff so I don’t get green on everything.
I’m now having my wig put on, there we go.
This wig has been specifically made for me so it fits correctly.
They’re using a glue to keep down the wig lace, as you can see here,
so it’s literally just stuck down to my face.
All these little things that you don’t get to see,
like putting on the make-up how long that takes,
making all the costumes how long that takes, that’s quite something.
