Go through

Question

Is the natural thing to say "go through" when you are on set as an actor or model etc?
How would you have said it?
Of the 5 models I'm the only one who still hasn't gone through make up. The make up artist has to do my make up.

Thanks

I'd say "to go through putting on/applying the make-up "

Hello,

You might get different answers to your question depending on the perspective of the people who reply. Here are a few things to consider.

People who are in the same or similar profession will use a particular "lingo" (language/word/phrase) to successfully communicate with each other. However, that same lingo will not be "commonly" used by those who are not in that profession. For example:

A real estate investor will speak investor lingo and commonly use the phrase "skin in the game", meaning that you need to put some of your own money into an investment deal.

From the perspective of the modelling/acting profession you have correctly used term "go through". In time you will become familiar with, understand and learn the lingo/language of your profession.

2. It is possible that the lingo (I will use your example, "go through") has nothing to do with a profession's lingo. Instead, it might be just an idiom. For example, " I go through make up like a baby goes through diapers", which means my make up does not last long and I have to buy more on a regular basis.

3. Someone else might say that using the term "go through" is an improper use of terms/words/grammer and why didn't you just say " of the five models, I'm the only one who still did not get my make up done"?
