Guides In Finding Theatrical Makeup Supplies

By Sharon Clark


Theatrical makeups are being used to transform the actors in making them resemble the characters of the story in a theater production. These are necessary to make the actor look older or younger if the character they portray is one. It can also be because the character has certain features such as a different color, wounds, deformities among others.

Doing this also emphasizes the facial features in the actors so that the emotions they act are seen by those that are sitting far from the stage. Because of regular usage, replenishing the theatrical makeup supplies is needed on a constant basis specially on seasons that have many shows and are busy. Here are some guides in finding for stores and brands to buy from in your area.

Start searching in your area for stores using the internet that sells these items and obtain their contact information. Use the yellow pages or local newspapers to search for stores that may be advertising themselves in this medium. List all of them down and acquire more information regarding them in helping you choose.

Ask for recommendations from colleagues on where is the best store they know of to buy the items you need. They would probably suggest multiple ones so ask them their reasons as different stores may have different items you need. Add the ones they recommended that are not listed yet and get more information about them as well.

Research the different brands that are being considered the best for a specific kind of makeup and then try them to know which one is suitable for you. Different tones are suitable for a specific skin tone of an individual so experiment which of them best complement you. Some ingredients could cause allergic reactions so determine if you are allergic to them and look for hypoallergenic ones.

If you are a makeup artist in a theater production then having multiple kinds of cosmetics is a must for each of the actors. It is much preferable though if they provide their own set to be used by you when applying their makeup. It all depends though on the production and their rules if they require them to provide their own or they would not require them.

It is important to coordinate properly with the director for stage lights because these should be complementing the makeup of performers. Incorrect lighting diminishes its effectiveness while it is greatly enhanced with a skillful lighting. Different colors are being reflected and absorbed so their combination must be correct to have the result desired.

Read some online testimonials and reviews to check the thoughts of the people about a store or a certain brand of makeup you are interested. This will be your chance to see if any complaints or negative feedback against them have been written. This information are usually located in websites showing reviews and ratings given by customers.

Ask how much each item cost in the different stores and determine the one that sells them cheapest. Consider their location as well because even if it cheap but if they are farther away then it might not be economical. Compare all acquired information and use them in helping you choose.
