On Set with Military Makeover – Meet Rory Lee

Behind every great TV show is an army of people; “the crew” as they call it in the TV production world. The crew consists of key people: you have your director, your producer, your camera guys, the lighting people, the production assistants and the person with truly the magic touch… the makeup artist. How else do you think the on-air talent stays looking in tip-top shape? Did you really think it was all just good genetics?

Meet Rory Lee. The women behind the brush and a woman with her very own make-up line. Rory is the on-set makeup artist for Military Makeover. MyComputerCareer joined forces with Military Makeover on Lifetime to surprise a Gold Star Army Veteran’s family with a complete home transformation. What an incredible experience this was to truly give back to someone who has served our country by giving them a complete home makeover. Through this process, our team got to work side by side with the Military Makeover “crew”.

Everyone wears makeup on-air in television. Seriously, everyone. The work of a makeup artist on a film or television show is not limited to glam-ing up the leading lady or turning a walk-on actor into a apocalyptic zombie, the job is also necessary to counteract the negative effects of intensely bright production lighting. Without makeup, on-screen talent would appear pale, washed out, and with facial expressions that could be hard to make out. Like most creative and skilled trades, makeup in film and television production is a field that requires constant and continued re-education. Each time you have mastered a particular technique or found your go-to product, someone has innovated a newer, better version. Lucky for us, we got to see first-hand what goes into making everyone camera-ready.
