Stage and Theater Makeup! And ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas’
Before we move onto the Thanksgiving and Christmas season, let us pause and make mention of the paid commercial ad at the top of this page. Theatrical and Stage Makeup.
How does this apply to Christmas?
“His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!“
Unless Santa has belted down a few and has achieved this color naturally, he might need a tad of rouge and lipstick. ‘Easy’, you say, as you reach into your purse and locate the exact colors needed. Problem solved.
But….
A big bushy Santa beard and wig in a shade of very light gray or white can be offset by a pair of black eyebrows. If Santa’s hair is white, so then should be his eyebrows. White is a little less likely to be had from the nearest purse, and a trip to the local costume shop might be needed to pick up an easily removable white makeup. But before you make that trip, also think about Santa glasses, white gloves and maybe a set of jingle bells.
