Supplies for Stage Makeup

Video Transcript

"As you can see, there's so much makeup that you're going to have to be using whether it be for interview on stage, or for TV interviews. You need to have this separated and very convenient and easy to use. So, what I do, personally, is I carry something that I personally call my safety box. This is a makeup box and it's very easy and it's very heavy duty. And it just basically opens, and it has separate compartments where you can put your makeup in, eye shadows...I put all of my eye stuff on one side, and all of my lips, and then I put all of my creams, concealers, and different types of makeups in the center. So, it keeps it very nice and conveniently useful when I'm out of town and I can carry my makeup in this. Now, when I do travel out of town, on a plane, just because that weighs quite a lot, I like to use this, and this is very nice and easy to use because you can separate your makeup into different compartments and it's plastic, and it hardly weighs anything. So, also, I also kind of put my eye makeup here, my lip makeup here, my concealers and foundations, and then it just wraps up and you can take it with you anywhere you travel to, so that's exactly what I would recommend using when you're going to enter a pageant so you can easily separate all of your makeup and have it at a hands reach. Now, I'm going to start prepping the face, so what I'm going to do, which is very important because it eliminates the oil from coming to your face. It opens your pores, and it's a facial toner, and what you do is you get either a cotton ball or one of these little towelettes. Put on enough toner to get it nice and wet, and then I'm going to start on the forehead and work my way down. So, you start along the hairline, make sure that the hair is completely pulled away from the face so you can see a little bit better and also to take off any shadows and make sure that you get the entire face clean. You want it to be very, very clean when you put on the makeup. This is probably, and there's a little bit of makeup remaining, as you can see, that's why it's so important from when we cleansed it, and as you can see, we have cleansed it for several minutes. But, it's still, it's very important to make sure that you have all of that makeup completely off and also to get those oils out of the face. So, so this might take just a little while longer, but this is so important to do."
