Simple Makeup For Stage Performance Step-by-step
Flawless Base for Long-Lasting Wear
Begin by applying a sweat-proof primer that will help keep your makeup in place through the long hours of performance. Go for an HD foundation with a full-coverage and transfer-free formula. Cover your dark circles and blemishes by applying a brightening concealer. Set your makeup using banana powder. It will help lock your makeup, brighten it up, and avoid creasing.
Dramatic Eye Makeup for Expression
For eye makeup, fill in and define your brows using an eyebrow pencil to create balance in your features and improve your overall makeup look. Your eye makeup for stage performance should be bold and dramatic. Use a gel eyeliner to create crisp lines that are smudge-proof. Use a volumizing mascara for your lashes to ensure your eyes look more open. Use bold, deep, and shimmery shades of eyeshadow for your stage roles.
Sculpting and Defining Features
Use contour below your cheeks, your jawline, and your nose for a defined and sculpted look under the harsh lights of the stage. A blush is a must for basic stage makeup, as it gives your face some color and life. Use coral, rose, or brick red blush for a vibrant appearance. Use a champagne highlighter that adds a soft glow under the light without being overpowering.
Statement Lips for a Lasting Impression
Lastly, you should apply lipstick and set it all down. First, line your lips with a lip pencil to avoid bleeding. Then apply a long-wear, transfer-proof matte lipstick. You can also use a lip tint if you want something subtle and durable. Once your look is complete, use a generous amount of setting spray to fix your makeup in place.
