These people are easy to spot. Their kit is often dirty, old, and made up of the cheaper products. Their attitude is slap it on, whip it off, and cash the check as soon as possible. They gossip too much on set, don’t do enough checks on the makeup, and their real interest tends to lie in finding out how much everyone else is getting paid.
The lazy ones usually get into makeup because it looked interesting and a bit glamorous and frankly, they couldn’t think of anything else to do with their lives. I could even name names right here, safe in the knowledge that they would never be read by those lazy individuals simply because they’re never likely to read a new book on makeup, never mind buy one, because, frankly, they’re not that interested.
