Guides In Finding Theatrical Makeup Supplies

By Sharon Clark


Theatrical makeup are used in theater productions transforming the actors to resemble the character within the story. These are needed if the characters are supposed to be younger or older than the actor portraying them. It could be also because certain features have to be placed like wounds, deformities, color and others.

Doing this also emphasizes the facial features in the actors so that the emotions they act are seen by those that are sitting far from the stage. Because of regular usage, replenishing the theatrical makeup supplies is needed on a constant basis specially on seasons that have many shows and are busy. Here are some guides in finding for stores and brands to buy from in your area.

Start searching the internet for stores that sells these in your area and acquire their contact information. Check local newspapers of the yellow pages as well because you may find advertisements showing the stores where the items can be bought. Create a list of all those you found and gather more information on them.

Ask from your colleagues for recommendations on which store is the best to buy the needed items from that they know of. They are probably going to suggest a lot of them so know their reasons as various items are available in various stores. If those they recommended are not yet on your list then add them and acquire more information regarding them.

Make some research on which brands are considered best for a certain type of makeup then try these out to know if they are suitable for you. Some have different tones suitable for various skin tones a person has so experiment which one will complement you best. Some ingredients can cause allergic reactions to others so find a hypoallergenic cosmetic if you determined you have allergies.

If you are the makeup artist for the theater production then you must have multiple kinds of items for every one of the actors. Though it is much preferable if they have their own set so that you will just use them when applying makeup. This would all depend though with the rules of the production because some requires them to have their own and some do not.

Coordinate with the stage light director also so that the lights and their colors would complement with your creations. Incorrect lighting could cause it to lose its effectiveness while a skillful lighting can greatly enhance it. This is because different colors could be absorbed and reflected which the perfect combination would give the result you need.

Read some online testimonials and reviews to check the thoughts of the people about a store or a certain brand of makeup you are interested. This will be your chance to see if any complaints or negative feedback against them have been written. This information are usually located in websites showing reviews and ratings given by customers.

Inquire regarding the price of every item in the various stores to determine which of them are selling them the cheapest. The location must be considered also because buying cheaper priced from a store farther away is not advisable. Compare all gathered information to make your decision.
