TWO ITEMS ALWAYS IN YOUR KIT
A Graftobian foundation palette—it has a lot of tones in it and is handy to mix and match. I was talking to John Currin, the painter about this—about how skin looks and how skin really is. If you spend a while really looking at someone’s face you can see the blues, the greens, some grays in there, you know skin is not pink or beige or ocher. Kryolan’s Jugendrot pigment cream, which in German means “Youth red.” They use it on stage for young characters. It’s generally used for cheeks and I use it on the lips as well.
