Diana Oh - Department Head of Makeup at the Late Late Show

My guest this week is the wonderful Diana Oh, Department Head of Makeup at the Late Late Show with James Corden. Diana has been with the show since day 1, and is now in the fifth season.

Diana was inspired to do makeup after visiting a makeup counter at Macy’s to have her makeup done for her homecoming dance in high school. From then on, she knew she wanted to do makeup. While in makeup school, she was able to work on AFI student films and that’s where she learned set etiquette, and where she made mistakes and learned from them. From there, she worked as a receptionist at a salon while freelancing until she got her first big break at NBC Universal at a small video game network where she learned a lot about sketch comedy.

In this episode, Diana and I talk about relationships, family life, and her experiences on the Late Late Show. 

Here’s a few takeaways from the episode:

+ All of your jobs build on each other. What you learn on one you take to the other, and so on and so forth. You gain experience, perspective, and skills with each job you have.

+ There is no such thing as a typical day in production.

+ How to balance motherhood with working in production, and what it’s like being married to someone who is also in the industry

+ Diana’s favorite products and makeup bag must-haves
