What is the difference between makeup for the living and makeup for the deceased?
Nowadays, people have a wider range of beauty pursuits, not only girls will dress themselves up delicately and beautifully when they go out, but even many boys will clean up themselves more neatly and handsome through makeup. So as a funeral director who is good at makeup for the deceased, I have experienced both makeup for the living and makeup for the deceased, what is the difference between the two?
The focus is first and foremost different. The most important step in the makeup of the deceased is to lay the foundation before applying makeup, and you need to look at his ** color, for example, some deceased people died of liver disease, their faces will be yellow, and some will be blue and purple, at this time, the makeup artist needs to have a certain amount of experience, according to the color of the deceased's **, reconcile the color of the concealer, and it looks not fake white, not distorted, and has a very natural finish. The deceased's ** is cold to the touch, and it is not elastic, more like an ice cube, ** will be very dry. You need to find the right force and angle.
Applying makeup to the living is more to improve the beauty and find personal characteristics, which have certain characteristics. As for the makeup of the deceased, what we do is more to "restore" the original skin color of the deceased, and when encountering some high-falling remains, we also need to carry out suturing and special makeup techniques to make him look "complete". Decency is the most important thing that a funeral makeup artist needs to bring to the deceased. If the deceased is a woman, most of them need to have eyeliner, blush, lipstick, etc., so that they can still be dignified, generous and beautiful when they leave.
