What basic makeup is needed for a musical(for a girl)age 14?

Question

I know they wear a ton of makeup but i don't know what stuff to get. I wanna stock up before the play though because no way am I using someone else and getting a disease!

Answer 1

In musicals sometimes they wear really shiny and bold colors. MAC would have everything you are looking for; funky colored eyeshadows, tons of lip gloss.  

Answer 2

Well, i would definitly wear foundation and powder, not too white though! And darker than you would normally wear lipgloss.  You over-do it a bit for stage cause the audience cant see it if its not over-done.  Dont forget mascara.  

Answer 3

I would recommend going to BenNye.com and buying a basic starter kit. It will have most of what you need in there including Base, Setting powder, A color kit that has highlighter, shadow cream(not for your eyes), cheek color, and lip color, plus eyeliner, a sponge, and a powder puff.

You'll also need mascara that does not come with the kit.

Also, be sure to speak to your director before you buy anything because there may be something specific that he/she wants all cast member to wear, such as a red lipstick.

Oh and good girl, you are very smart in knowing that you are never supposed to share makeup backstage. I cant even tell you some of the awful things friends of mine have caught from sharing makeup with everybody!

Good luck with your show!

Answer 4

I would get a dark brown eyeshadow and brown or black eyeliner, and some mascara. Just put on a moderate amount. If you like, you can use a little bit of blush, too.
