Guides In Finding Theatrical Makeup Supplies

By Sharon Clark


Theatrical makeups are used in transforming the actors in theater productions to make them resemble their character in the story. Doing this is necessary for the actors to look younger or older if the character is supposed to be one. It could also be because certain features are to be placed such as deformities, color, wounds and 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 for stores in your area that sells these using the internet and get their contact information. You may also check the local newspaper or yellow pages for advertisements that shows which stores sells these items. Make a list of those you have found and get more information about them to help you decide.

Ask recommendations from your colleagues for the best store that they know where you can buy the needed items. They will probably suggest numerous ones so get to know their reasons because different stores sell different items. If the ones recommended are not on your list yet then add them to gather more information on 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 the artist in charge of makeup in the theater production so you should have multiple types of cosmetic items for each actor. Though it is preferable if the actors have their own so you will just be using these on them. This all depends though with the production and the rules if they will require or nor in providing their own.

Coordinating with the director of stage light is important for the lights and colors to complement with the makeup of the performers. Incorrect lighting can cause its effectiveness to diminish while a skillful lighting could greatly enhance it. The reason is that the colors which can be absorbed or reflected are different with the proper combination giving you the needed result.

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.

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.
