Things You Have To Observe When Using Stage Makeup Kits For Schools

By Edward Cooper


Spread that Hollywood magic. Create life-like characters with stage makeup kits for schools to make plays more realistic. This type of maquillage is also great for costume-based parties. Find one online or your local craft store.

Conduct research for options. Read its label before purchase to avoid irreversible damages. You may also want to consult your dermatologist prior to buying. It should match the skin type of its user.

Familiarize yourself with the tools and techniques of using such sets. Learn to blend and practice those strokes. Turn to instructional videos or attend live demonstrations to broaden your understanding of its fundamentals. Play around with it using your imagination. Make use of costumes and other accessories such as wigs to add details to your masterpiece.

Bags with multiple pockets are great in organizing your tools and cosmetics. This enables you to easily find what you are looking for in the least possible time. This also prevents germs among your tools and makeup. Have the habit of washing brushes and sponges before keeping it away. Use baby shampoo to remove excess cream or powder from its bristle and pad. Rinse it thoroughly and air dry.

Observe proper hygiene when engaging in this craft. Always wash your hands before each application. Only use clean brushes and disposable pads as applicators. Avoid sharing it with others. Do the same for lipsticks, lip liners, blush or compact powders. Invest on a mixing palette so you do not have to dip the same applicators twice or lend one to a group member.

Be cautious of how long you store those cosmetics. They do expire. Note that lipsticks, lip liners, cleansers and eyebrow pencils only last for a year. This includes liquid latex and face paints. Mascaras and sponges on the other hand only have 6 months shelf life. Concealers, liquid foundations and moisturizers take 2 years before you throw it out of your vanity bin. Powders, eye shadow and blush also last for 2 years.

Theatrical makeup is different from ordinary cosmetics. It is formulated to last longer under the brutal stage lights. Always clean and moisturize the area where you want it applied. Have the habit of dubbing a small amount behind the ear before each application. Discontinue use if sudden redness or itchiness occurs. You may want to have an ointment ready in case rashes start to appear after use.

Most tenured performers use oil-based products because it last longer and put off sweat from occurring during a play. However it demands more time to remove. Do not allow it to submerge in your pores. It can result to pimples and skin irritations if not attended immediately. Using baby wipes and cold creams do not completely remove it from your pores. Wash it off completely with soap and water. Tone and moisturize the skin afterwards.
