Working on a new show is always exciting and for Makeup Department Head Cindy Miguens, the formula for success couldn't be better as her new Freeform show, Famous in Love, stars Bella Thorne, Carter Jenkins, and Perrey Reeves.

With a busy schedule, we asked Cindy a few questions on how she helps achieve those Hollywood tears, the clean-up needed after an emotional scene, and what's in her set bag.

If you’re one of the 60 million people who saw just the trailer of the new NBC hit show, This Is Us, then you’re probably just as hooked as we are about this new fall show which has blown everyone’s minds in just the first two episodes. With constant flashbacks to the 70’s back to present day, the Hair and Makeup teams have their hands very full working with an A-list cast. We sat down with Hair Department Head Michael Reitz and Makeup Department Head Zoe Hay to chat about their early thoughts on the show, how they achieved such groovy 70’s hair and what it takes to perfectly age a stunning Mandy Moore into a grandmother.

December 11, 2014/ Lorna Soonhee Umphrey

The super hit comedy on NBC is in it’s second season and no one’s happier to be working on this show than Makeup Department Head Jessica Crocker. She’s an artist to the “T” and it’s no wonder she won an Emmy. (I mean, have you seen her Instagram page with massively detailed tattoo artistry, crazy super effects makeup and a few glimpses of the gorge About a Boy star Minnie Driver?) Her creative soul developed early in her preschool days, and aside from painting actors’ faces on hit TV shows and films, she’s also an oil painter with an art exhibit opening soon. We asked Jessica about that moment when she won an Emmy, her staple makeup products and what it’s like to keep herself from laughing on set.
