How Much Stage Makeup Should Little Girls Wear?

Adding fake warts and scars to a witch’s face makes her much more heinous then slapping some green eye shadow on her face. Adding a fake nose, which, when applied correctly actually looks quite real, can be even more effective. When someone is hurt in a play, it’s much more realistic to see blood pool out of their body than just see them fall to the floor. This can be achieved by using theatrical makeup that includes blood. Fake horns are a great effect for mystical creatures. When this type of body makeup is applied to actors, it makes them look inhuman.

Besides the romantic movie look, you can also go for the ‘˜otherworldly’ look for Halloween. Vampire lenses in red or scary illustrations like jagged teeth are perfect for this look. Another idea is sclera lenses that cover the entire eye to give you spooky bottomless eyes. You can use eye makeup to draw creepy facial tattoos to match the frightening eyes. Use gel or liquid makeup as loose powder can fall on your contacts causing eye irritation. It’s important to try on your vampire look before the big day so get your contacts well in advance before Halloween.stage makeup,stage scenary,stage props,stage costumes

In terms of blush application, reds and links tend to show up best. Smile and then apply to the apples of your cheeks, sweeping color upwards. Theatrical makeup tips for eyes include using natural tones such as browns, tans and nude pinks. Steer away from unnatural colors unless you want that extra pizazz. Start with a light skin tone and cover the area of skin below your brow, then apply a medium shade of brown on your eyelid. Then line the crease with a darker brown and line your tear duct with a white shade.

Raise your eyebrows and note where your own forehead wrinkles. Wrinkle are creases, so the demarcation between highlight and lowlight should be crisp. The highlight may be applied with a small brush and goes below and along the edge of the wrinkle. The shadow goes above. Do not raise your eyebrows while applying the makeup, as it will smear. Blend the outer edges of both lights into the surrounding foundation, but make the highlight a little wider than the lowlight. The ends of the “wrinkles” should be fine and disappear into the foundation at your temples. If they are too obvious, stipple the ends lightly.
