Tips In Looking For 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.

These are also used in emphasizing the facial features of actors so their emotions will be seen by even those who are sitting farther away. Because of constant usage, they will be needing to replenish their theatrical makeup supplies on a regular basis specially on busy seasons which they have many shows. Here are some tips in looking for a store in your area to buy supplies from.

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 reviews and testimonials to see what people are thinking of the store or the brand of makeups you are interested on. This would be your chance in checking if any negative feedback or complaints have been written against them. These things are usually found in websites dedicated to show reviews and ratings from 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.
