Tips In Using Stage Makeup Kits For Schools

By Edward Cooper


Spread that Hollywood magic. Create life-like characters with stage makeup kits for schools to make plays more realistic. This type of maquillage is also great for costume-based parties. Find one online or your local craft store.

Conduct research for options. Read its label before purchase to avoid irreversible damages. You may also want to consult your dermatologist prior to buying. It should match the skin type of its user.

Mastering its use demands practice. Familiarize yourself of how each cosmetic or tool is used to achieve that realistic effect. Note that every stroke or blend produces a different effect. Watching instructional videos or attending demonstrations is helpful in understanding its basic. Use your imagination to personalize the look. Costumes and wigs is also useful to add more detail.

Bags with multiple pockets are great in organizing your tools and cosmetics. This enables you to easily find what you are looking for in the least possible time. This also prevents germs among your tools and makeup. Have the habit of washing brushes and sponges before keeping it away. Use baby shampoo to remove excess cream or powder from its bristle and pad. Rinse it thoroughly and air dry.

Observe proper hygiene when engaging in this craft. Always wash your hands before each application. Only use clean brushes and disposable pads as applicators. Avoid sharing it with others. Do the same for lipsticks, lip liners, blush or compact powders. Invest on a mixing palette so you do not have to dip the same applicators twice or lend one to a group member.

Be cautious of how long you store those cosmetics. They do expire. Note that lipsticks, lip liners, cleansers and eyebrow pencils only last for a year. This includes liquid latex and face paints. Mascaras and sponges on the other hand only have 6 months shelf life. Concealers, liquid foundations and moisturizers take 2 years before you throw it out of your vanity bin. Powders, eye shadow and blush also last for 2 years.

Theatrical makeup is heavier than daily cosmetics. It last longer under the heat of stage lights. Clean and moisturize the area where you want to apply it. Evenly distribute it to make it look natural but do this after skin testing. Stop using if sudden itchiness occurs. Failure to do so may result to inflammation or pimples. Have a topical ointment ready for rashes in case it starts to show after use.

Oil-based products may prevent sweat during from breaking out during a performance but it requires time to remove. Use cold creams or baby wipes immediately after the play to avoid it from sinking in your pores and resulting to skin inflammation and zits. Wash thoroughly with special soaps and water to remove excess make up and latex glue. Do not forget to tone and moisturize before bedtime.
