Stage Makeup

Here is a guide to a Basic Stage Makeup Face:

Matte golden brown eyeshadow- apply on outer corner of eye and blend in the crease

Dark brown eyeshadow - apply lower on the outer corner and blend into crease

Light gold shimmer eyeshadow - apply on eyelid only

Primer - helps makeup last longer

Foundation - skin color.  Make sure to blend down neck, at your ears and hairline

Concealer (highlighter)  - 2 shades lighter than face. Apply under eyes, middle of forehead, down the middle of the nose, cupid's bow, and chin.

Setting powder- apply all over face

Bronzer - apply on the outsides of forehead, cheekbones and a little on the nose

Blush - rose colored blush on the apples of the cheeks

Highlighter - almost skin tone shimmer color. Apply to tops of cheeks, inner corner of the eye, bridge of the nose, cupids bow, and brow bone

Setting spray - spray all over face (helps makeup last longer)

Eyeliner - line top of eyelid, wing optional

Fake eyelashes & glue - (optional) I like the duo clear brush on glue.  

• TIP! Make sure you trim the outer corner of your lashes so they fit your eye!

Mascara - curl eyelashes (optional) and apply mascara

Filling in eyebrows is optional

Lipstick Color - Pink or Red are great options for the Hoedown! 

• TIP! Opt for matte lipsticks that wont transfer onto your dancers clothes/face.

You do not need all the exact products they use in the videos!!

 Some great affordable brands you can find at Target, Walmart, CVS and ulta are NYX, Maybelline, Wet n Wild, elf, Colourpop and Morphe (last two are only at Ulta)
I’d recommend Ulta because they have both drugstore and high end makeup, as well as many hair products.

Tools You will need:

1. Face sponge (I recommend eco tools, sonia kashuk, or real techniques)

2. Blending brush - big and fluffy

3. Blush brush - angled and fluffy

4. Bronzer brush - small/medium and slightly dense

5. Highlighter brush - small, tapered and fluffy

6. 1 fluffy eyeshadow brush - for golden brown

7. 1 small fluffy eyeshadow brush - for dark brown

8. 1 flat synthetic brush - for shimmer

9. Eyelash curler

Use whatever shades work for your skin tone.  Youtube is a great tool for learning how to do makeup.
