Properly Applying Theatrical Makeup Supplies

By Nancy Stevens


An actor will always be bare without make up. So, learn the art of being in full character. You may even apply some of the next tips in real life. Thus, take your time in mastering your craft and being happy when people compliment you for it. It may be small thing but it comes close enough to having an acting award.

You should apply foundation evenly all the time. In that situation, your theatrical makeup supplies will be put to good use. Yes, famous brands can be grand but you do not need all of them especially when you have a tight budget. Simply spend more on the essentials and focus more on the proper application.

Sweat is a blessing in disguise. With this small amount of moisture, people will forget that you are just acting. They can get so involved in the story and this can certainly lead to raving reviews. So, stop getting irritated with your sweat glands and focus on how you can get your tears to flow instead. Internalize in a swift motion.

Apply make up in a way that it will not be so distracting for your co actors. Forget about what your audience have to say. They are not an expert in this aspect and your main job is to keep the actor in front of you to remain in the zone. Have convincing emotions that it will seem like you have the worst problem in the world.

Make sure that you have something contrasting in your face. Your main goal is to let the audience distinguish your features underneath all that make up. In that way, your expressions would be clearer and you can successfully capture the hearts of everyone who decided to watch you on that day.

Treat lipsticks as your best friends from now on. Their brand is not that important. What is essential is that they can stay on your lips for several hours without retouch. This will allow you a smooth motion in your wardrobe changes and be in the position where you are needed to be. Theater is not a place for slow people.

You can go with minimal details for as long as you have already harnessed your acting skills. So, attend workshops during the theater break or you can just talk to the mirror all the time. Just do the routine which can make you more effective without spending most of your money.

Have the perfect make up even if it will take you a long time to be in that stage. What is essential is that you are learning and you are not relying too much on your make up artist. This just shows how professional you are and how you need less supervision when you are backstage.

Have the best brands with regards to your mascaras and eyeliners. Also, apply them cleverly and make them bring out the colors of your eyes. This can be enough to stun the actors in the same scene as yours.
