Clues In Searching For Theatrical Makeup Supplies

By Sharon Clark


Theatrical makeup are used in theater productions transforming the actors to resemble the character within the story. These are needed if the characters are supposed to be younger or older than the actor portraying them. It could be also because certain features have to be placed like wounds, deformities, color and others.

These are used also to emphasize the facial features that actors have in making their emotions be visible even to those whose seats are farther from the stage. Replenishing your theatrical makeup supplies in a regular basis is needed due to regular usage specially during busy seasons with numerous shows lined up. Here are some clues in searching in your area for stores where you can replenish your supplies.

Start searching the internet for stores that sells these in your area and acquire their contact information. Check local newspapers of the yellow pages as well because you may find advertisements showing the stores where the items can be bought. Create a list of all those you found and gather more information on them.

Ask from your colleagues for recommendations on which store is the best to buy the needed items from that they know of. They are probably going to suggest a lot of them so know their reasons as various items are available in various stores. If those they recommended are not yet on your list then add them and acquire more information regarding them.

Do some research on the brands that are considered the best on certain types of makeup and try them out to check if they suit you. Some have various tones suitable for different skin tones of a person so find out which one would complement you best. Others have allergic reactions to some ingredients so determine if you have one and look for a hypoallergenic one if ever.

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.

Inquire on the price of each item on the various stores and determine which one sells them the cheapest. Consider the location too as there are those which are selling them slightly cheaper but are farther away from your house or workplace. Compare all information you got to help you decide.
