Working as a MUA in the adult industry

[Bronxcutie]

I know this is an odd question, but I'm writing a mystery novel where my sleuth is working part-time as a MUA for an adult video producer. Can anyone tell me anything about working in that industry as a MUA? I'm sure that most are professional (meaning no orgies in the makeup chair!), but I'm sure there has to be something funny or odd I can add to my book. Here are a few specific questions:

1. When the MUA is applying makeup, are they doing the face and body? Do most of them use airbrushing to cover up any discolorations on the body?

2. If the performer has razor bumps (yeah, down there) or a poor wax job, does the MUA help with that or does someone else do it?

3. Are the performers completely clothed in the chair?

I know these are weird, but I want some parts of her job to be realistic.

there's a thread about adult entertainment make up, but I dont know who started it or what it is called... do the search and maybe you'll find it. It does not answer all you questions, but yesssss it's full of good info

good luck with your novel!!

Edit: I found it!! It's called "adult industry make up" and was started by little_angel. HTH!

That's the thread she was talking about.

PS: Sounds like a fun book! Let us know when it's published and I'll be sure to pick it up!

Thanks for the link! I'm still wondering about who handles the razor bumps and stuff in the 'nether' regions! LOL
