Basic Stage Makeup for Men AND Women

[@Blazequine]

FINALLY a makeup tutorial for guys too

[@dorothyvjones]

I used foundation two shades darker during a dance recital. Some parents wanted a redo. I explained how the lighting washes every down. They had their sons and daughters redone with the other mua. So when they saw their children in pictures they all looked like ghosts 👻 The ones who didn’t change were very happy and had their pics taken with me 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@Nicole74]

Send them this video next time if they still don’t believe you ;)

[@dorothyvjones]

Thanks. That’s a great idea 💡

[@hihowareyou8473]

this is my first time playing a male role for a stage production (Dave Miller in State Fair) but I’m only the male in the beginning and the end - the rest of the time I’m a girl in ensemble. my costume designer instructed that the girl makeup needs to be very subtle so that it doesn’t look too crazy when I come back on as a boy, and thanks to you, I know that if I put brown liner and a gloss with the tiniest bit of blush in addition to the boy makeup, it really won’t look that different on stage! thanks so much for your help, Nicole - I’ll recommend this video to all my friends when they need help from now on ☺️❤

[@PRACTICALLYTIME]

thank u so much in my companys only (knowledgeable) makeup artist and i knew that we were supposed to go a shade or two darker in foundation but all these basic girls who can’t even do singled eyeliner keep telling me idk what i’m doing when i’m literally a makeup artist

[@stellaro519]

Yes. That is a real no-no in daily life but darker base on stage is right. AWESOME instruction. If they follow it they will see

[@lillierolen3553]

I am in a play called Blithe Spirit and I play edith the maid. Im excited for it. I have been in more than one play but stage makeup has been a struggle for me. I always had to have people help me with doing my eyebrows and it is hard to do that now, when I'm the only teen in the production. It's a good thing though, since they saw me fit enough to play someone 10 years or so older than i am lol. This video helped alot thank you!

[@samantharivera214]

Lillie Rolen that is the play i am in right now! I play Mrs Bradman

[@emilyfay9779]

this helped a lot because I was put onto stage crew and into makeup, but I actually don’t know anything. Still have a long way to go lol

[@Mars_63270]

Thanks!! This was really helpful, since I have never done makeup period, and I'm doing my first musical soon!

[@oliviakitchen2264]

SAME!! how did your musical go?

[@Mars_63270]

@@oliviakitchen2264 it went really well! We got a few nominations for gene Kelly things but to be honest I'm not quite sure if we won or not😅😅. What about yours?

[@sunnysideup5169]

I have to do this for my show and I've never done stage make up before so this really helps, thanks

[@maryhough8041]

Oh God I always use the shade that matches my face. Now I feel like a goof. Well next time I’ll be sure to get a darker foundation!

[@ashleysmith7850]

If you have a dark skin model would you still make their foundation shade darker than their skin tone? Or do you just do that for lighter skin toned? Thanks

[@Nicole74]

I would go a shade darker for deeper skin tones as well.

[@cinnamonspice6545]

Just one shade?

[@ldkmelon]

@@cinnamonspice6545depends on the individual, for the general person you will go two shades darker, only those close to the darkest ebony skin colors might do less-- people really underestimare how harsh lights for performance and recordings are, someone with a medium or dark skin tone also get washed out just like lighter skin tones. Generally if it looks like a bad spray tan in real life its probably perfect to perform 😅

[@abbiesmith8724]

Tech week starts in 2 days and I needed help so thank you!

[@shyanneadams5188]

Thank you so much I'm in a play and have no idea what to do for stage makeup 💛💛

[@stemwaffle]

Thank you so much, I am in my first play.... ever.... it's a modernized, adapted version of Don Quixote, and I play the lead, Donna.... and had no clue what I was supposed to do... our makeup artist has to focus on the three "goth/emo" characters that come on less than a minute after me, so chose to just do my own makeup, your tutorial really helped.

[@squidwardwithblondehair7219]

Dance teacher suggested this video for our show!! Much love

[@JennBeaupre]

That much darker, hey? Cool! It makes perfect sense, though, I always look ghostly. Hehehe

[@Nicole74]

Every time I see you on stage you look amazing!

[@mimibook4305]

Thank you for this video! The tip on foundation to go 2 shades darker is a great tip! Love to try to False Lashes you used on this Video. Do you remember the brand/type? Also can you recommend other brands of creme foundation that stores carry with fewer palettes that has the shades of light/dark brown, cream and white? Thank you so much!

[@hannahkrystyn5947]

Great video, but I just about went insane with the song replaying over and over and over.😂 Wonderful video, nonetheless.

Thankl you so much, now I can actually do people's make-up that's not just foundation

[@stellaro519]

First role in a loooong time.TY this was simple

[@dermarzhase7175]

Wow, thank you for that video! I feel like I could actually get this done with your explanation/demonstration. Now let's say, my role demands a really dark look ... I'm getting black lipstick and nails and the eyes are going to be dark as well. So white eye shadow as a base is a fantastic idea. Would you still put on rouge/blush?

[@Brooklyn_]

Best one I've seen!

[@Mike-hs2jc]

Hi! Thank you so much for this video! Question though, I have never bought makeup before, so how do I find the right shades for my face, brows, etc? Thank you!

[@Nicole74]

Best thing to do is ask an employee!

[@Jsaneless]

Haven’t been on stage in a very long time and secret time. This is my biggest fear bc I don’t like my face being touched by other people and well you can see how this is an issue. So thank you.

[@GlorifiedBodiesFitness]

Thank you! This helped greatly!

[@liudmyla4706]

I do partner dance at the stage. I am looking for the lipstick that will not leave stains on my or my partners costume when doing air steps. Also bright red lipstick sometimes might get on teeth, so I am not that comfortable to full smile when I use it. Any advice? Thank you

[@Nicole74]

You’ll have to look for long wearing liquid ones. I’ve had success with Maybelline and Cover Girl. Urban decay also makes some.

[@simp7591]

Does the concealer have to be darker too? Or should I just make it my natural skin colour since when I’m doing my normal every day make up I make my concealer lighter.

[@Nicole74]

You could probably my get away with your natural colour for under eye concealer. If it’s too light, mix a little bit of the darker foundation in with it.

[@celesteburt8826]

Thanks so much for the helpful video! Quick question for you: is the concealer the same shade as your skin, or is it also 2 shades darker?

[@eyereenuh6388]

Do you absolutely have to only use matte products? Are there any negative effects of using shimmer or glitter on the face or eyes?

[@tillie6828]

Ireadna shimmer makeup products like highlighter shimmery eyeshadow tends to look like sweat under all te stage lights

[@tillie6828]

[@stellaro519]

Sometimes we get to have sparkly lips but matte is the usual so we don't look pale or sweaty!

[@kaileydueck4790]

THANK YOU!!! this helped me so much for my show!!!

[@leahharmatz9478]

Oml this helps so much. My sister moved on to college and she did my makeup. Thank god I know how to do it now!

[@LadyBarbosska]

hi! I have my first stage performance soon, and as it is a burlesque act, lots of my skin will show. how do I ensure my face does not look too "detached from my body" (since my face will have a darker tone due to makeup..)? thank youuu

[@cheristevensmakeupartistry]

Helpful as a studying makeup artist. Need to know of this applies for musicians.

[@Nicole74]

It could! I would double check with the artistic director if there is an approach you should go with. There is usually one for Orchestras or Opera singers. If its just typical stage makeup, then this could apply. If the musicians you are working with are in stadium lights, it will be different. Also, work with the musicians directly if it is their show (headliner, opening act, etc) every band and musician has their own creative style and look. Hope that helps!

One time, I ran out of my foundation at a show so i used my freinds but it was like 5 shades to light and i looked like s GHOST on stage

[@CassandraKubinski]

thanks for this!

[@kaipope1115]

I only have power foundation, and cream concealer that are my skin tone if I remember correctly, what should I do?

[@sadiejohnsonsings]

I have a dance performance and I'm doing my makeup alone this time and ive never done it by myself before

[@Nicole74]

You got this!

[@irenekokoula5705]

I don't know how tha darker base works for you guys. On me it loos so bad especially if my chest shoulders etc are showing. I always match with my skin tone, but use a neutral or warm toned undetone instead of a cool toned one, which is my normal one. It looks so much better live and in photos/video, that the dark foundation

[@johnernestdano5145]

I am a male and i have a really dark eye bags . What should i do

[@Nicole74]

Try using a small amount of orange concealer under the eyes. Let it dry and then put concealer/foundation on top. That should help hide any darkness.

[@annastump936]

Would the steps still be the same for younger performers

[@nadismolina]

Anna Stump yes

[@nadismolina]

but depending on the show, you will tone it down. you don’t want to do the female makeup if you are doing something like newsies, but if you are VERY young performer, then do the male one with some feminine touches
