I can almost see MYSELF in the subject's face sometimes :cheesy: I have these little oil absorption papers that work well, but I was thinking I'd try some powder as well. I heard someone here say they like the Physician's Formula powder, which is probably this: http://www.amazon.com/Physicians-Fo...5TZ2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1319816454&sr=8-2

Is this pretty much all I'd need, or is there something better or maybe some film/photography specific favorite brands?
 
Anyone else have any advice? Thought there might be more of a favorite, a professional kind of something that people use on the set a lot.
 
If you are using a powder you will want to get something disposable to apply it with from person to person. The same with foundation, little disposable wedges. Hygiene ya know! I keep a complete makeup kit on the truck including airbrush makeup.
 
dammit jim i am a gaffer not a makeup artist.........
thats the makeup departments job..... ask them....
 
My professional makeup artist friends unanimously recommend:

Make Up For Ever (that's the name of the company) Professional HD High Definition Powder. It's completely colorless and absorbs oil and shine like nobody's business. It's also about $30 for a little 10-gram jar -- more expensive than silver but still cheaper than gold. :) Available at Sephora stores in the U.S.

I suppose the "HD" name makes it a natural for TV use. I keep it with my lighting kit.
