This week, Whitney is so excited to be hosting one of her previous collaborators on the show, the talented Makeup Department Head Jenny Lin! We talk about transforming Jennifer Coolidge into the “West Bay Medium” for We Have A Ghost, her amazing times she’s spent working with Robert Rodriguez, creating a safe space in her trailer, working with the costume department, staying organized during filming and continuity work, protecting her time during “lasts looks”, as well as fabulous advice for those trying to break into the industry.  --- Makeup Department Head Jenny Lin Credits include: We Have A Ghost | Tell Me Lies | Queen of the South | Alita: Battle Angel | Hypnotic | Spy Kids: Armageddon | Not Dead Yet --- Jenny is a science nerd who fell into makeup accidentally while in college at UT Austin. The very act of creating sparked something in herself to explore and led to working hands-on at a cosmetics company part time while pursuing her undergrad. Her first unexpected opportunity arose when Jenny was approached fill in super last minute makeup on her first short film, but the catch was that she’d have to basically work nonstop for five days straight… at the end of that very sleepless week, something ignited within her and Jenny has not looked back ever since.   Fast forward a decade, Jenny’s makeups have been seen on major motion pictures, television shows and national commercials. Beyond her video work, Jenny attained experience in makeup for commercial print ads and lifestyle shoots as well as a roster of faces for red carpet, special events and celebrity weddings and her clientele includes hometown Austin cult movie director Robert Rodriguez.   Jenny’s truest passion is in designing and executing imaginative makeups for her directors while collaborating with all the actor, and all creative departments to get the job done beautifully, efficiently and as cost efficient as possible. Skills range in special effect and trauma makeups, airbrushing, tattoo and facial hair work on top of corrective, beauty and character makeups.   --- Jenny Lin Links: Website: makeupbyjennylin.com Instagram: @makeupbyjlin --- TFACD Links: Patreon: Tales From A Costume Designer Instagram: @talesfromacostumedesigner Twitter: @talesfromaCD TikTok: @talesfromaCD --- Whitney Anne Adams Links: Website: whitneyadams.com Instagram: @WAACostumeDesign Twitter: @WhitneyAAdams TikTok: @waacostumedesign --- Pay Equity Links: Pay Equity Now IG: @payequitynow Pay Equity Now TikTok: @payequitynow Costume Designers Guild IG: @cdglocal892 Local USA 829 Pay Equity Task Force IG: @usa829payequity United Scenic Artists Local 829 IG: @unitedscenicartists
