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.

Research is vital in finding the right set. Browse online for reviews or simply read its label before buying one. It should match your skin type to avoid irreparable damages. Consider purchasing something light and non-toxic if using it on kids under 12 years old. Remember that they do have sensitive skin thus consulting a dermatologist is also highly recommended.

Using such maquillage demands patience and practice. Every blend or stroke can affect its outcome. You may want to watch related instructional videos online or attend demonstrations to learn its basics. Apply it occasionally to master the technique. Personalize each look with a little imagination. Add in some accessories such as wigs and costumes to make it more realistic.

Organize that kit with multiple pocket bags. This is useful in segregating powders, creams, lipsticks, eyeliners and tools inside your bag. This lessens the frustration of searching for a specific makeup especially on the day of your performance. This also prevents bacteria from spreading. You may want to wash brushes and sponges after each use. Use baby shampoo in removing excess powder or creams on these items. Rinse and air dry before putting it back inside the bag.

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.

Cosmetics do expire. Discontinue use if it looks moldy or smells awkward. Also note how long you have had it in your kit. Throw away lip liners and lipsticks after a year. Do the same for eyebrow pencils, liquid latex, cleansers and face paints. Dispose sponges and mascaras after 6 months. Liquid foundation, moisturizers and concealers can last for 2 years. Eye shadow, powders and blush is included in this list.

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.

Most tenured performers use oil-based products because it last longer and put off sweat from occurring during a play. However it demands more time to remove. Do not allow it to submerge in your pores. It can result to pimples and skin irritations if not attended immediately. Using baby wipes and cold creams do not completely remove it from your pores. Wash it off completely with soap and water. Tone and moisturize the skin afterwards.
