A Step-By-Step Guide to Applying Basic Stage Makeup
Wash your face thoroughly, taking extra care to exfoliate. Follow with a toner, and moisturize afterward to create a clean, smooth base for your makeup.
Apply your foundation in a color that both matches and evens out your skin tone. For reddish complexions, choose a foundation with a slight golden or yellow undertone. However, even for warmer complexions, remember that the stage lights will tend to wash out or add a ‘colder’ effect to colors, so go warmer in tone wherever you can to counteract this (unless the character you’re playing is meant to be wan, sickly or ghostly, in which case, stick with cold, pale tones!).
Use a sponge or foundation brush to apply your base, for more even coverage. Make sure to blend evenly into the hairline, at temples, and slightly below the jawline. Take extra care that your jawline color blends naturally into your neck — there’s nothing more distracting than someone whose face contrasts starkly with a neck that’s a completely different color.
Stage lighting tends to ‘flatten’ a face and remove definition. Add contour, character, and definition to your face using a darker cream. Go darker for whatever you want to ‘recede’ or hollow on your face. Enhance cheekbones with color that starts just below the cheekbone itself, and which is concentrated in the ‘hollow.’ Start the color at the point in your cheek that is slightly outside the center of your eye, then back on each side.
