Stage Makeup Tips
The stage makeup is not very easy to apply. A lot of people do not apply it correctly, thereupon it is fading under the stage lights.
The first thing that should be applied is the foundation. It has to be heavy and darker than your skin nuance. There is no worry if you can't get the perfect shade. You can blend two colors to obtain the perfect tone, but keep in mind that the lighter color should be first applied. Apply the foundation from the forehead to the hairline and blend it over your entire face. Make sure you cover your neck and ears too. In the end, apply a lighter color over the shadows.
The second step is the blush application. A rosy color well blended should look great for women. For men, choose a pale shade. Over and above gender, you should blend the blush over your nose and forehead. Remember that the entire audience will be watching you and the lights can fade your stage makeup.
The most difficult step is to apply the eye makeup. Use a white color first, to highlight the area under your eye and underneath the eyebrow and blend it well. Next, using a brush, apply above your eyelid a color that is darker than your skin nuance. After that, apply another dark color on your eyelids. Next, line your eyes using a brown color. Keep in mind that the black color should be applied only if you are a dramatic character. In the end, apply mascara. After the first layer is applied, wait for lashes to dry and apply the second layer.
Now, it is time to apply the lipstick. The lipstick color should match the rest of your makeup. For men, apply a color darker than your lips. The liner should also match the lipstick. For a lasting lipstick, apply liner before and make sure you are applying it correctly.
For a better result, apply some loose powder over your face. Before dusting your skin, you should remove the excess of powder by shaking the brush a little. The aim of loose powder is to make your makeup more resistant.
How To Avoid Skin Damaging
In my opinion, all of those who apply stage makeup should keep in mind the following things, especially the professional makeup artists. Forwards you have some tips which can help you avoid unwanted things to happen.
One of the most important tips is to avoid old makeup products. You should use cosmetics bought only by you from trusted stores.
Another thing you should take into account before applying stage makeup is to have a clean face. After you have cleaned it, wash your face with cold water to close your pores so that it is hard to clog.
When you have time, during the act, you should apply more powder. In that way, it will absorb the sweat and your makeup will look good.
Another very important tip is to remove the makeup after the act. You should NEVER go to sleep with your makeup on. Beside the fact your pores will clog, the sheets will also get dirty. The makeup removal takes only a few minutes and it is not difficult to do. To remove your eye makeup, use a special eye makeup remover and a clean tissue. For the rest of your face, a facial cleanser and warm water are enough. When every makeup trace is removed, apply an overnight moisturizer.
These are my stage makeup tips and I hope you memorized the most important things. Anyway, keep in mind that you should be very careful when applying stage makeup because a lot of people will be watching you.
