Applying Foundation for Stage Makeup

Video Transcript

"Next is foundations. So, we're going to go ahead and show you the different foundations that you might think are more appropriate for you. I have full coverage. This is actually foundation that looks more like a concealer because it's very, very thick and it's in a form of not being a liquid but it goes on very smoothly and I cleaned off the brush as you can see I'm using the same one that I've used for my concealer and I go ahead and fill it up. Pending on, this is actually a Mac makeup. This is called full coverage foundation and depending on your color, you want to go ahead and get the most appropriate color with your skin tone. Like I said the concealers are a little bit lighter than your skin tone. I'm going to make sure that foundation makes your neckline because you don't want to have a face that does not match the rest of your body which is so important when you're on stage and what I'll also will do not only using the full coverage foundation but I'm actually going to use a little bit of the liquid to mix it up and give you a little bit of the full coverage with that. So, I'm going to go ahead and use the back of my hand as a pallet as if I'm an artist because of the heat like I said on the back of my hand and you want to make sure that you go ahead and mix it in. Get the good color in there as you can see it's much tanner than what I am. You see how you match in to see if the colors even with the foundation okay, but we need a little bit lighter so you might want to have a few foundations at hand where you can mix them in. Here we go. You see it's kind of like being an artist. We mix in the color for okay that is a good color. So, we're going to go ahead use this color mix it in and we're going to start in a large part of her face which is her cheek bones and work our way down. And like I said, you want to go ahead and push in on the brush. We don't necessary want to do as you painting a face. You want to push in and make sure that as you're going in, you're smoothing out that makeup. Get in there and smoothen it out because you don't want to have it clumpy and you don't want to have too much makeup on. So, right now it has the appearance of having a lot of makeup but we're going to go ahead and go back over that and take out some of that makeup. You want to go ahead and go all the way up into the ear line, hairline up here. Work your way down all the way down to the neckline. Work around it. Make sure that it's nice and evenly spread out and as you can see it looks much darker in some areas than what it really is because we still need to spread it out. So, we're going to go ahead and spread it out probably adding a little lighter color because now that I'm putting it on it looks a little bit to dark for her features. So, I'm going to add something that's a lot lighter and it's okay if there's a lot of makeup in the area because we're going to go ahead and use this brush to spread it out."
