FX Make-up Shopping Time!!

This was a "have to get there TODAY" sort of trip. Kryolan make-up here in Chicago. They have all sorts but also specialize in special effects make-up.  She's been lusting after some of the palettes that the make-up artists have used on her last several projects and they are very expensive. The FX artist on this set gave her the lead on these color wheels from Kryolan that are still very high quality but more reasonably priced. She was thrilled to be able to get all if the wheels for the same as just a couple of palettes in the other brand.

The gal there helping her was wonderful and showed her all sorts of tips and tricks and treated her with such respect.  Later, they got to visiting and when she told her what she was up here for, turns out that she knows the FX guy in addition to being a friend of one of the boom operators on "Chicago PD" and was going to tell him to watch for Avi and Avi asked his name and said she'd tell him hi. She always knows most of the crew far better than me since she's in the trenches with them. :-)

She gave herself a fabulous bruise as well as me. Now that we're back from an evening out and some outrageously delicious pizza, she's giving the other little girl, Aimee, some fabulous bruises also. LOL!! :-)
