Makeup puts that shared-space tension front and center, bringing together two men from very different walks of life.When introverted French ex-chef Sacha (Hugo André) moves to London to begin a new career as a food critic, he needs a place to stay.
By chance, he finds a room for rent in a townhouse owned by young-but-powerful stockbroker, Dan (Will Masheter), and suddenly this odd couple is living together.Despite his cold finance bro persona, Dan proves to be a welcoming host to the uneasy Sacha.
But, the minute the tenant finds himself around Dan’s colleagues, the mood shifts, and the pair are at the blunt end of a number of thinly veiled homophobic jokes about living together.Things are complicated further by the fact that Dan has a big secret, one he’s trying to keep even from his new roommate.
By day, he’s a stock trader, but by night he’s a gorgeous drag burlesque performer who lights up the stage with some stunning dance moves.Will Dan be found out?
