Theatrical makeup, 'take one'

So the time has come where we are now learning about theatrical makeup. This is so different to carrying out your usual everyday makeup, as everything is so much darker and bolder! You've all been to the theatre right? Just think the audience members sat all the way at the back have to see the actors and actresses makeup, so you can imagine how dark it has to be applied. When I was first told we would be doing theatrical makeup I was looking forward to it, but as the lesson went on, I did start to dislike it a little. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy it, but the fact that the makeup I applied kept smudging did annoy me kind of. I used 'supracolors' in this lesson too, there just that good! (sometimes)  
 1. I started off with the base, I went at least 2 shades darker than the natural skin colour. We do this because the lighting on the stage really takes the colour out of your skin, making you look pale and washed out! 

2.The next stage I did was to shade and highlight those facial features we all want! Choose a darker colour for the shading and a light colour for highlighting. Make sure to blend well, but not too much, as we do want it noticeable.

3. When I had covered the base I moved onto the eyes, we all applied a white line to the bottom of the eye and chose what we wanted to do on the eye lid. I just went for a simple brown to cover the lids.

4. I also went with a simple red lip to finish off my theatrical makeup, but you can choose any colour!

This is quite a simple look to do, not too hard at all. Here's how mine turned out!





 
You can probably see from my finished result that the eye makeup smudged quite a bit. Apart from that, im happy with it!
