Make-Up Porn Stars Love
Being on the set of an adult movie is a unique experience. Regular TV shows have sex scenes too, but they aren’t pornographic, and that’s okay because they’re not meant to be. One thing is the same, though, and it’s that both sets need to have a glam team.
We’re sorry to burst your bubble, but porn stars use make-up and hair extensions to amplify their beauty. To do that, each of them has a make-up look that they love to do because it suits their face. What make-up artists love about porn sets is the freedom to create avant-garde looks. That’s much different than giving every actor a natural make-up look like they would on regular TV.
So, let’s talk about some of the brands that porn stars and their make-up artists love to use on set. Once we touch on why the
y love these brands, you’ll realize that there’s much more to porn stars’ beauty secrets than meets the eye.
AJ Crimson Beauty
The first brand we’ll talk about is AJ Crimson Beauty. The founder of this brand is, well, AJ Crimson, and he claims that this brand was created out of necessity. As a self-taught make-up artist, he noticed that women of color don’t get enough recognition in the beauty community.
While that is the foundation of this brand, AJ Crimson Beauty caters to women of all ethnicities. The products they offer include:
- Foundation compacts
- Lip products, including lipsticks and lip glosses
- Setting powders
- Artist kits
The reason why porn stars love this brand is that the foundation doesn’t budge. It’s water-resistant and will stay for up to 18 hours. We know that filming can go on for a long time, and with the amount of action the porn stars are having, they need their make-up to stay put. Plus, the deeper shades are perfect for body-sculpting on all skin tones.
Becca Cosmetics
Another brand that porn stars love to use is Becca Cosmetics. This brand loves to play with light. Their goal is to help your light from within come out to the surface. Regular TV productions don’t like a lot of shimmer or glow on their stars. This is because that glow can quickly turn into dewiness that can then look like they’re super oily. On the other hand, adult film sets welcome the oily and sweaty look because it only amplifies what’s already going on.
Some of the products that Becca Cosmetics offers to help illuminate you are:
- Different kinds of foundations, including Luminous, no-pigment, ultimate coverage, etc.
- Highlighters
- Brightening correctors
- Glow elixirs
- Lip products
We all sweat differently, some more than others. When porn stars want to achieve a sweaty look, Becca Cosmetics can help them out. Plus, this brand is good for creating luminous looks that will catch everyone’s eye.
Mehron
Sometimes, adult movie sets and productions can be intense. We’re not only talking about the performance but about how porn stars look. When actors know they’ll be on a set like that, they request Mehron Makeup. This is one of those make-up brands that offers everything you could possibly need. Here’s a list of the categories of products they sell:
- Face and body paints
- Professional make-up
- Special effect make-up
- Different kits
- A plethora of tools
So, when porn stars want to cover their tattoos, look like monsters, or include artificial blood in their scenes – Mehron is the only brand they turn to. Not only do they offer many different products and tools, but they’re high-quality too. You can rest assured that this make-up won’t come off until you decide to wash it off.
Mehron colors are very pigmented. So, one of the porn star beauty tips is to avoid freshly bleached hair, as these colors can stain it.
RCMA
If you’re not a professional make-up artist, you’ve probably never heard of The Research Council of Make-up Artists (RCMA). This brand’s sole focus is improving the make-up professionals use on different sets and productions. The most essential thing about this kind of make-up is being high-quality and performing under various conditions. At this time, RCMA focuses mainly on the face, giving artists the ability to make everyone look flawless. The products they offer include:
- Foundations
- Concealers
- Setting powders
- Highlighters
- Contours
- Blush sets
- Illuminating sticks
When you put those products together, you’re able to achieve the perfect make-up look. Porn stars love this brand because it’s high-quality, cruelty-free, and won’t move no matter what they’re doing. Whenever they know they’ll have a long day on set, porn stars reach for RCMA because they know that’s the only way to stay looking flawless all day long.
Anastasia Beverly Hills
Many people think that the make-up porn stars wear depends on the scene they’re doing. While this is logical thinking, it’s not always the case. The porn star and their make-up artists talk and come up with new looks each time. That means that even a housewife stuck in a sink can be in full glam if she wants to.
When it’s glam time, porn stars choose Anastasia Beverly Hills (ABH). Its founder, Anastasia Soare, invented the Golden Ratio of eyebrow shaping, skyrocketing this brand into the popularity it has today. However, eyebrow products aren’t the only thing ABH offers. There are also:
- Eye make-up products (palettes, primers, etc.)
- Face make-up products (foundation, contour, highlights, etc.)
- Lip products
- Tools
ABH has everything you need to create a glam look without a fuss. Another reason why they’re so popular is the fact that their products are high-quality and very pigmented.
Make Up For Ever
Unfortunately, not every adult film set can be high-end and have a big budget. When this happens, porn stars have to do their own make-up. When this happens, Make Up For Ever is their go-to because it’s high-quality but significantly cheaper than professional make-up. Even the pros know not to shy away from this brand because their products can help you create a divine glam look. Here’s what they offer:
- Face make-up (foundations, concealers, etc.)
- Eye make-up (pigmented palettes and more)
- Lip products
- Tools
This one brand has everything you need to achieve a flawless diva look on a budget. Don’t let the budget part scare you away. Once you try these products, you’ll realize that you don’t have to invest a fortune for your face to look perfect. The porn stars and the pros know it, and now you do too.
What Beauty Tips Can You Take Away?
Finally, the brands and reasons why porn stars choose them can give us insight into what life is like for an actor on a set. There is a lot to learn from these brands, and here’s our takeaway:
- You don’t have to spend a fortune on quality make-up.
- Face make-up can also be used for body sculpting. You don’t need to go to the gym to have defined abs after all.
- Crying in the club isn’t a problem anymore because these brands offer products that won’t budge even when you hear a song that reminds you of your ex.
The best beauty tip we can give you, though, is to never stop creating and experimenting.
