Whether it is a glass of apple juice pretending to be whisky or mixing corn syrup, non-dairy creamer, and red food coloring to create blood, we all know that there is a crew making magic behind every film. Hence, everything in front and behind the cameras looks real.
M.A.C Cosmetics’ Executive Director of Global Trend, Cat Quinn, known for sharing content about the latest beauty trends and pop culture, took to social media to share a fun fact about the hit movie Top Gun: Maverick.

The best-selling product can be mixed with other products like pigments and can be applied anywhere on the body except for the eye area to create exciting effects.

But when they filmed in the fighter jets, the makeup artist obviously couldn’t be there to touch up their sweat. So to keep a consistent amount of sweat on their faces for continuity, they actually used M.A.C Lipglass.”
Cat said that she learned about this trick after conversing with Tina Roesler Kerwin, one of the film’s makeup department heads. “This is a trick that is used on set a lot. It won’t budge on your lips, and it won’t budge on your face,” Quinn assures. “So get some M.A.C Lipglass if you want the same effect.”
