American Teen

This week I worked with Megan, Hannah, Colin, Jake, and Mitch from American Teen, in theatres at the beginning of August. The documentary follows these five people through their senior year of high school (can you imagine!?).

I've said it before and I hope to say it again, but they were incredibly nice!

As for make-up, the guys were fairly straight forward. Hannah was minimalistic, using liner to bring out the green in her eyes, and keeping her rock-n-roll edge by giving her a red-stained lip. Megan loved the make-up process and I got to play with her beautiful face a few times, changing it between a soft, glowing make-up for the Canada AM interview to a sultry, smokey look for MTV live.

I hope to work with this group again when they are in town for the Toronto Film Fest.

Movie poster - love the nod to The Breakfast Club!

Step Up 2

Last week I worked with Jon Chu (director), Harry, Black, and Flea Rock, all of the ACDC crew. They were in town promoting the DVD release of Step Up 2, The Streets. They had two interview destinations, E2, and E!, where they taught hosts to dance and Flea did some great graffiti art.



As a major fan of dancing (oh how I wish I did not look so ridiculous "poppin") I was so happy to hang out with this gang of b-boys and breakers. They were incredibly talented and kind. Check out their youtube videos under "chu pictures" to see them dance battle Miley Cyrus. There are some mighty cool moves!
