Why is Make-up Compulsory — Stewart 97
The next day I used what I call "Water Colors" by which I mean the enamel, and the only attention I had to give these men was to lightly powder them after lunch. This, and other experiences, caused me to abandon all cold creams and grease paints from my make-up box, and, since then, I have taught all my pupils only the water make-up method. I once made-up several j^oung ladies who were engaged at the Winter Garden, and, on the Saturday they had to hurr>" from the studio to be in time for their matinee. I added some rouge to their cheeks and with the enamel motion picture make-up they went on the stage that afternoon. I believe these girls, have all now adopted water make-up entirely in place of the grease paint to which they had become accustomed.
This enamel has the power to cover all the blemishes and freckles which the flesh is heir to, and does not require the constant attention that grease paint does, and is far more easily removed at the end of the days' work. As a matter of fact, women need not remove it at all, but simply add a Kttle rouge to give a healthy color to their cheeks, which, of course, is absent in the picture make-up. Furthermore, it does not soil men's collars or women's dresses. I hold no brief for any particular manufacturer, but attention should be called to the fact that there are several brands of liquid enamel on the market, some possessing the covering power that is so desirable, while others do not. The absence of the more expensive oxide of zinc is the cause of this. Prepared chalk is so much cheaper, and for ordinarj^ purposes is good enough, but for motion picture work it is not the eye we must satisfy but the photographic emulsion which must be primarily considered. The excessive use of grease paint is apt to cause immobihty of features, whereas enamel makes possible every movement of the face.
One manufacturer made a lip-stick for me according to my formula which had a quantity of blue mixed with it. This had the effect of photographically lightening it, so that, though the actress might daub it on to her heart's content, the camera did not pick it up too strongly. All my powders had their content of blue. We have all noticed that when our ceilings are being calsimined the whitening has a large quantity of blue added to it. It is of a pale blue color when first applied, yet it dries perfectly white, free from halation that might otherwise be there — hence my use of blue in all my colors. The lips should be tinted with a small water color brush so as not to have any grease there — which is frequently transferred in the act
