‘Very Important People’ Makeup Dept. Head Alex Perrone On “Toying” With Guests & Evolving Ideas: “It’s A Makeup Artist’s Dream”
‘Very Important People’ makeup dept. head Alex Perrone on toying with guests & evolving ideas: It’s a makeup artist’s dream.
Dropout ’s Very Important People is a series where comedians come up with a character to sit down for a fully improvised interview with host Vic Michaelis, after being given full makeovers — including makeup, prosthetics and costumes. Since the time in the makeup chair can vary, and the comedians are only supposed to have five to 10 minutes to create a character, Perrone and her team are also responsible for not only hiding their process from the performer, but actively deceiving them in fun ways. We also, with our costume designer as well, have a lot of meetings leading up to the actual shooting of the show where there’s different zooms where we’re pitching ideas and they always start out as one thing and slowly develop into a different creature or person.
