Makeup Kits for Theater
Our recommendations for School Theater are:
- Getting individual kits for hygienic reasons.
- Supplementing the production with a larger theatrical kit (and keep it under your control.)
- Use Fair for white females. Use Med. for white males (teenagers).
Cream makeup is the traditional stage makeup because it is heavy and stays on if applied properly. Unfortunately, it will often cause acne. Cake makeup is more comfortable to wear and easier to wash off, but it has the tendency to streak if not properly applied. In a school setting, single kits become trashed almost instantly. If more makeup or components are needed, simply get multiple containers of what you need and create “Work stations” that can be used by several students at once.
F.Y.I.: Street makeup doesn’t work on the stage because theatrical lights wash out (punch through) the weak pigment load. Theatrical makeup is designed to hold its color even when brightly lit.
