10. Be Creative! Stage makeup is NOT regular, everyday makeup Do NOT be afraid to try something out. Think OUTSIDE the box
11. Who Are You? Is the character quirky? Quiet? Bold? A tomboy? Girly? Masculine? Artsy? Tortured emotionally? Before any makeup can even come close to being applied, you MUST figure out how the character would and should wear make up.
13. Inhuman Characters cats Flowers Dogs Owls Aliens Smurfs Basically anything you can think of.
14. Applying Stage Makeup Start with a foundation that is right for your skin tone Make sure to layer, but BLEND Powder
15. Non human makeup Special makeup (think Halloween type pastes) Start with a foundation (this could be the colored paste, or a cream. There are many different forms.) Set with a neutral powder Don’t forget prosthetics that humans don’t have (animal ears, whiskers, gills, ect.) Air brushing may be used when necessary/appropriate.
16. Basic eye Strategies for human characters Lid to brow with a light color Outside half with a medium shad. Sideway V on outside of lid (darkest shade) Line eyes with liner Mascara These are the basics BUT
17. Feel Free to SPICE things UP! Not all characters are the same, but here are some ideas to think about. Foggy contacts (if in budget) are a great idea for sight impaired characters. Droop eyeliner down for sad, distressed, or old-aged eyes. Add fake eyelashes, bushy eyebrows, or anything else you can think of!
18. Gore Once again, prosthetics are used Skin glue and blending are key Keep in mind the accident that takes place in the performance It may be necessary to work alongside the costuming department for missing limbs or other illusions.
19. HAVE FUN!!!! As with anything, the energy you put in, is the amount you will get out. You’re audience will love you!
