Basic Makeup Help

To do theater makeup, all you really need is some foundation, contour, blush, and highlight; which can be found at a dollar store or Target/Walmart. You can always buy nicer foundation and contour at Ulta and

Sephora.

Lights on stage can wash a person out so we use contour and highlight to help define our features.

After applying the foundation, then contour and

highlight. Apply some blush on your cheeks to make sure you don’t look pale, and to add a bit more liveliness to

your look. Then apply mascara, if the look calls for it, and end with some setting spray or baby powder to keep the

makeup from sweating off. (I will bring a lot of baby powder to the show).


Women

For your hair, you can look up any 50’s hairstyle. Here are some ideas… Youtube is a great place for learning how

mascara, and false eyelashes if you want! (Optional). Apply blush and a red, pink, or nude lip.
