Managing makeup and hair
The Makeup & Hair category in the breakdown lets you track hair and makeup elements scene by scene. Like wardrobe, makeup and hair items can be linked to a character so the department can plan continuity and reference specific looks for each actor.Where to find makeup and hair
In the project nav, click Breakdown, then Elements, then Makeup & Hair (or Makeup). The list shows each item, which scenes it appears in, and a link to its board. Makeup and hair elements are added by tagging script text in a scene’s breakdown page or by using Add Element and choosing the Makeup & Hair category. See Tagging elements in a script breakdown.Makeup and hair boards
Each makeup or hair item has a board where you can store looks, references, and notes. Starter cards added on first open:- Cost / Budget — A note card for cost and supply tracking.
- Notes — A general notes card.
Linking a makeup or hair item to a character
Makeup and hair items can be linked to a specific character, the same way wardrobe items can. This is useful for continuity: you keep the look for each character in one place, tied to the right person. To link to a character, open the makeup or hair item’s board. At the top of the board, use the Character selector to choose the character this look belongs to. Once linked, the character’s actor measurements appear on the board. For example, if you have entered hair color, eye color, or skin tone on the character’s Specifications card, those details surface here so the makeup artist has them at hand. To enter or update those details, open the character board and add or edit a Specifications (Character/Actor) card. See Managing characters.Adding cards to a makeup or hair board
