Student Directors: Wear the show shirts when you introduce the plays.
Stage Crew: Wear the show shirts and black pants, socks and shoes.
MAKEUP: (link to doc)
For makeup, each actor will need a makeup kit to be applied at home and then touched up at school (many cast members like to put it on at school, which is fine too). Please utilize what you have at home or purchase inexpensive brands (ELF is available at Target or something similar) if you do have to purchase anything.
Basic Stage Makeup Kit Needed By All Cast Members (Boys and Girls):
· Foundation-one shade darker than your child’s skin tone. You will also need make-up sponges or brushes for foundation application.
· Powder-same shade as foundation or translucent/no-color –brush to apply
· Blush- choose a rosy natural tone, nothing too dark or orange and a medium sized, soft bristled blush brush
· Eye shadow- neutral matte eye color…just girls
· Eyeliner-Dark brown or black pencil eyeliner (all cast members)
· Eyebrow pencil- brown will work unless your brows are very dark…just girls
· Lip Color-Pale peach/pink or other neutral lip color…just girls
· Black mascara- just girls
· Cotton Swabs and cotton squares for touch-ups and corrections
**Place everything in a labeled Ziplock bag (or small make-up pouch that you already have) and label everything with your child’s name. **
Optional:
Non-oily makeup remover or wipes
Basic Stage Makeup Application Instructions
1. Wash your face.
2. Apply Foundation: Choose a foundation that gives good coverage and is one
shade darker than your natural skin tone. This may look dark, but
under stage lights you will look normal to the audience. Start the foundation
at the forehead and blend up to the hairline. Then cover the rest of the face,
including ears, eyelids, under the chin and on the neck with a sponge or your
fingertips. Be sure to apply on the neck to the point where your costume will
come. This includes the back of your neck that will show (if you have your
hair up). Tip: work one area of the face at a time.
3. Blush: Choose a natural rosy blush. Start high on the cheekbone, push up into
the hairline, then bring forward. Boys should also use blush, but it should be
a little lighter than girls. Tip: Do not bring blush all the way to the front of the
face. Keep it high on the cheek.
4. Eyes: Use a neutral/flesh tone matte eye shadow (NO SHIMMER) on your lids and brow bone area. Line the upper and lower lids with black or brown liner. Girls should curl lashes and apply one coat of mascara to upper lashes.
5. Eyebrows: This is as important as any make-up step and is often missed. Use
a brown eyebrow pencil to darken the eyebrows. Tip: Apply backwards on
eyebrow hair, then follow the natural brow line, don’t come down too far.
6. Lips: Line the lips with a natural color lip liner. Choose a natural lip color that
would look like a person’s natural lip color. Peaches, light pinks, mauves and
nudes work well. Apply lipstick.
7. Powder: To finalize your look and keep everything in place, finish with a
translucent powder (preferably loose powder). Tip: Apply using a large brush
and a light touch.
