Natural Makeup
With natural makeup techniques, you enhance your own beauty and prevent the complete revolution of your appearance. Ideally, when others view you, they should notice your face and not your makeup. Natural makeup is about the colors you choose and where you put them, not simply with how much is applied.
Before applying your makeup, always start with a smooth even surface. Lightly cleanse and moisturize skin before you begin with your foundation, and don’t forget to soften your lips and eye area.
For a natural look, sidestep an all-over foundation. Instead, utilize a cream or stick foundation to cover imperfections. Avoid using concealers to cover discolorations and blemishes as they are typically lighter in color and should only be used to conceal under eye circles. Merely start with a light application of makeup base, which exactly matches your skin tone, over any imperfections and redness. Only apply the face makeup over the actual area of the discoloration and blend the edges slightly. When done applying your first layer, step back away from the mirror to preview your overall face. Add on layers if necessary, and only spread the face makeup directly to the areas you want to hide. If an overall coverage is indispensable for your skin, try a tinted moisturizer instead of foundation. This will help to even out your skin tone, but still let your natural skin show through.

How to apply stage make up for plays and theatre
On stage, one’s features must be clearly visible to everyone sitting in the theater, even the people in the very back row. Both male and female actors use basic stage makeup techniques to enhance their natural features, correct or diminish other features, and change their appearance. Often, a role calls for “character†makeup, such as stylized fairies, animals, or a look of old age. Makeup can accomplish all of these looks and many more.
Assembling Your Makeup Kit
It’s not necessary to buy a ton of professional-quality makeup and tools, but do buy the best quality makeup you can afford. Cake foundation is the most common type used in theater because it covers well and blends easily, but you can also use street liquid foundation. More expensive foundations and powders do cover and last better than cheap drugstore brands; on the other hand, you can probably get away with cheap eyeshadows and lipsticks. Keep an assortment of brown eyeshadows and different shades of blush on hand, as well as brown and black eyeliner pencils and mascara. If you’re good at mixing colors, a theatrical quality “color wheelâ€, which is a single disc with red, blue, yellow, black, and white crà mes, can save you a lot of money in the long run on eyeshadow, eyeliner, and blush. You will also need a cosmetic pencil sharpener, cotton balls, and your favorite type of makeup remover.
A few good tools can drastically improve your makeup application. Sponges are necessary for applying foundation and blending. You’ll need several small brushes, especially if you’re going to use crà mes for eyeshadow or eyeliner. Q-tips can work in a pinch and are also indispensable for touching up smears and smudges. You’ll also need several large brushes for powder and blush. If you’re going to share the makeup kit, you’ll want to purchase disposable brushes, sponges, mascara wands, and mixing palettes. Finally, a toolbox or tacklebox will keep all of your makeup and tools organized.
