I’d love to see more makeup videos. I’m a stage makeup designer and artist for small theatres in my town but I’m looking to continue onto bigger shows. This is super interesting and helpful!
I'm surprised Anastasia makeup look is in this video, such an underrated musical, wouldn't really be considered 'iconic' though, although it's 100% iconic to me.
To be fair, the *looks* were what had to be iconic. Some main characters have a mainly average look to them that you wouldn't recognise. Also JCS is just super cool😅
This is awesome. I was lucky enough to take a makeup class with joe for a semester at college. Incredible to work with and such a nice guy. I learned so much
Makeup artists are just that...artists. They can totally change how a person really looks to fit the character they are to portray. Even the makeup artist at the glamour shot photo session can make a beauty out of a plain-Jane girl.
To be fair, theatre make up doesn't need to be as precise. People will look at you from a greater distance so details aren't that important. But nowadays, with recordings and photographs being made all the time, makeup, wigs and costumes are handled differently. I work in opera, where the makeup from 30 years ago is vastly different from the techniques and effects we use now.
A lot of people mentioned the eyeliner looked messy which is true for close up makeup. For something like theater that's far away and heavily lit stage makeup can look messier than anyone would wear in a photoshoot or the street. They also put on makeup faster.
the actors do the makeup themselves for most shows, even the ones that seem more advance. They will have lessons where they are taught how to do the look. Even in a show like Cats where the looks are advanced, the actors are taught to do the makeup themselves.
I wish he did more actually iconic characters like the phantom of the opera, cats, les mis rather than a random super star from Jesus Christ Super Star
well yea but the witch was iconic too not only was the show made by Stephen Sondhiem and it starred Bernadette Peters which is iconic in it's self but the show is also very iconic
I thought it was great considering how angular the models face is. The twenties were all about round doll faces, which is why the lips are so small the the blush is pulled towards the middle
molly devlin yeah I’ve seen Anastasia twice and everyone in the show up close. It’s just very simple natural makeup and Anyas makeup is very simple with orange/pink eyeshadow
Lydia Smith the makeup he designed was probably for a different production of Into the Woods, not necessarily when Bernadette was the Witch. And they just played Last Midnight from the OG Bway recording that just so happened to be Bernadette Peters (cause that’s the only version there is in official audio form if that makes sense) :)
people complaining bout it being dramatic: take elphaba from wicked you need those deep shades for her eyes and lips and a vivid green color for the show like for instance "defying gravity" being lifted so high it needs to stand out so people can see her...
stage makeupisnt supposed to look good close up, it's coarse and exaggerated so you can see it far away under bright lights. (source: acted and did makeup for a production of bugsy malone)

Yikes! This audio is not at all balanced. I kept turning up my volume so I could hear what he's saying, but then the music would be painfully loud.
Kaity Marstella I’m glad I’m not the only one oof
Yeah! I was about to say that!
I had the same problem. Had to keep my finger on the audio the whole time.
I agree! It was driving me nuts
WHAAAAT? I CAN’T HEAR YOU OVER THE MUSIC?

I clicked for elphaba and discovered spongebob the musical.
Sarah Midnight lol same
You have found a treasure
Playbill: Ok think of iconic broadway characters...
Also Playbill: I know!!! How about the ensemble girl of JCS?

10:31 elphaba
This is RIGHT up my alley. I've done hair and makeup for theaters for nearly four years now and I have the time of my life.
Makeup artists are just that...artists. They can totally change how a person really looks to fit the character they are to portray. Even the makeup artist at the glamour shot photo session can make a beauty out of a plain-Jane girl.
Is it me or is the eyeliner constantly uneven and patchy?

@@musicirene bullshits ... i’m a stage make-up artist. If a did such mess like this the performers would kick my ass!
A lot of people mentioned the eyeliner looked messy which is true for close up makeup. For something like theater that's far away and heavily lit stage makeup can look messier than anyone would wear in a photoshoot or the street. They also put on makeup faster.
The Witch from Intro the Woods and Elphaba are pretty iconic looks
Wow, thanks that you shared this because I'm doing character makeup and may you could want to take a look as well 💥
have people actually watched the video? this are shows he have worked on not Broadway in general, jeez, people only want to cry about everything
i’m not sure if it was because he was rushing but the eyeliner always looked messy?
its stage makeup so it doesn't have to be as precise because we have distance on our side :)
@@michaylacatron2411 not true ... if you are a pro every make up is flawless
@@siegfriedenea if you think everyone is flawless all the time i have something to tell you
This man is one of my heroes I'd give anything to meet him
THIS IS SO INTERESTING
So with more simple makeup looks, like say in Mean Girls the musical, do the actors do the makeup themselves or is there always a makeup artist?
the actors do the makeup themselves for most shows, even the ones that seem more advance. They will have lessons where they are taught how to do the look. Even in a show like Cats where the looks are advanced, the actors are taught to do the makeup themselves.
Almost all broadway actors do their own makeup, the only one I can think of who doesn’t is the woman that plays Elphaba.
Logainne and the Phantom.
@@lounytoon9444 idina menzel
dog lover madi Loggaine meet the personhood play her in general. It’s not still Indina Mendel
I SEE WICKED, I CLICK!
I wish he did more actually iconic characters like the phantom of the opera, cats, les mis rather than a random super star from Jesus Christ Super Star
I came here for cats.....
guys, these are makeup looks from the shows he designed. wicked was his first big show. he didn't design makeup for phantom, les mis, or cats.
He’s a great makeup artist. But I was massively underwhelmed. “Iconic” is a bit click-baity here. He does great makeup but they’re all very basic.
Makeup doesn’t have to be complicated to be iconic. Marilyn Monroe’s makeup is actually a very simple glam look, but it’s iconic
These looks aren’t iconic tho
The only iconic one here was Elphaba
well yea but the witch was iconic too not only was the show made by Stephen Sondhiem and it starred Bernadette Peters which is iconic in it's self but the show is also very iconic
You clearly haven't seen a lot of shows then.
Charley Rutledge the Witch is iconic but the specific look he gave her wasn’t
Kremit I’ve seen the shows in this video it’s just their makeup isn’t iconic
yea the look was more complicated than that they should have went with the Bernadette Peters version it was more makeup than that
this is so cool!
What was the Anastasia makeup lmaoo no
I thought it was great considering how angular the models face is. The twenties were all about round doll faces, which is why the lips are so small the the blush is pulled towards the middle
sbpcc222 it is great for 20s makeup but it’s an “Anastasia” look and it’s not accurate to the show. But it is very accurate to the time period
Damn you'd think it would be accurate to the show if he designed it himself... What does the actual show look, look like do you know?
molly devlin yeah I’ve seen Anastasia twice and everyone in the show up close. It’s just very simple natural makeup and Anyas makeup is very simple with orange/pink eyeshadow
its 1920s inspires, and keep in mind that the makeup is usually done on a white woman so he may have had to alter it a bit to fit her skin tone. :)
These makeups are great.
I want to be a broadway makeup artist so bad😂
Love this!
Am I the only one who thinks that Wicked Green is an attractive skin color? I kinda wish that was a natural skin tone. Lol
Anyone else confused because Bernadette Peters didn’t have that makeup as the witch ? But they played her audio soundtrack ??
Lydia Smith the makeup he designed was probably for a different production of Into the Woods, not necessarily when Bernadette was the Witch. And they just played Last Midnight from the OG Bway recording that just so happened to be Bernadette Peters (cause that’s the only version there is in official audio form if that makes sense) :)
Geeesss... why is the music so damn loud!?!
Great video
people complaining bout it being dramatic: take elphaba from wicked you need those deep shades for her eyes and lips and a vivid green color for the show like for instance "defying gravity" being lifted so high it needs to stand out so people can see her...
I would love to see one where they make Luke Castellan but I’m also an obsessive freak so like if you agree you’re probably one too
2:43. He looks like 'captain man' in Henry danger
Oliver Davis
That’s who he reminded me of!!!
No ones talking about how spongebob has a musical
The squidward makeup looked nothing like what Gavin Lee did for his squidward makeup
The thing is that most of these characters NO ONE knows what most of these are and the music is way too loud. BOO!!!!!!!!
Its the most iconic characters he personally has designed makeup for
elphaba from wicked cmon now... also known as the wicked witch of the west in wizard of oz film.
You’re supposed to use packing tape on your eyes?!
packing tape is the more extreme version. you could probably get away with a straightedge like a card, which wouldn't rip up your skin or makeup.
Yeah please don’t use packing tape to remove glitter from your eyelids
Who mixed this sound?? Ouch.
His eyeliner looks rushed af,,, at first I thought it was just the character makeups,,, nope
Is it possible to give a subscription as a gift? My mom retired and she needs a hobby other than calling me. Badly. Also, she really likes to read.
I'll note further I already put myself on the wait list and am REAL EXCITED.
But no Hamilton...
OMG YASSSS
Hamilton is the *most* iconic one.
joe dulude iii did not design the makeup for hamilton.
he is not very good
stage makeupisnt supposed to look good close up, it's coarse and exaggerated so you can see it far away under bright lights. (source: acted and did makeup for a production of bugsy malone)

Iconic? I don't think so. Iconic is Lucille Ball, Rita Hayworth, Joan Crawford, Bette Davis. MEMORABLE people.
