Hey MUA! I'm doing an HD commercial next week and the producer just told me they need distinct drops of sweat like in the slow mo gatorade commercials...like they are a character too ya know? Does anyone have any tricks they could share with me to make this successful? I think it has to be pretty slow moving down the face and pretty distinct. I know water won't cut it and I don't think baby oil will either although it looks great for regular sweat. Any help, advice, things to try would be sooo appreciated...even if it's to direct me else where.  xoxoxoxo

Glycerin!

You'll need to experiment with it but you can either use straight glycerin or do a water/glycerin mixture. Put in a spray bottle (one that has a mist and "normal" setting) and spray from around 12 to 24 inches away from the face. Again, it'll take some practice to find the right mixture you're looking for. Use a SMALL bottle because a little does go a long way during a practice run.

Good luck!
