Spotted this today - it's actually in my home state of Indiana!
The idea that a woman can do anything, be anything, is taken to something of an extreme by makeup professional Nicole Bruce. She’s a huge force in a small package, who moves and talks with breakneck energy, and makes her own face into an infinite canvas.
Nicole started onstage as an actor, where diversity was her stock in trade. “Because I’m a character actor, I was typically asked to do something, something or another, to my face, makeup-wise,” she says. “Be it blocking out half my eyebrows and making them go straight up, at a 45-degree angle. Or, can you add jowls and age, and all that stuff. So I built my skills up that way, and grew quite adept at changing my face into just about anything people wanted me to do while I was acting on stage.”
When you look into the photo gallery of headshots on Nicole Bruce’s website, you’re looking at the entire cast of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Friends, Golden Girls, The Big Lebowski – and all of them are Nicole Bruce. She becomes men, even African-American men, as well as women of all ages and ethnicities. She also turns herself into Greek Gods, rock icons of the ‘80s, Muppets, and even … food.
Just to get people’s attention, and show that she really can change her face into anything, Nicole added a headshot series to her web site, of her face … made up as … well, here she’s bacon, there she’s eggs. A hamburger. A waffle. With a pat of butter on her forehead.
