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 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 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.

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 the makeup artist for the theater production then you must have multiple kinds of items for every one of the actors. Though it is much preferable if they have their own set so that you will just use them when applying makeup. This would all depend though with the rules of the production because some requires them to have their own and some do not.

Coordinate with the stage light director also so that the lights and their colors would complement with your creations. Incorrect lighting could cause it to lose its effectiveness while a skillful lighting can greatly enhance it. This is because different colors could be absorbed and reflected which the perfect combination would give the result you need.

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.
