Video Transcript

I'm going to show you how to apply makeup for stage. The reason we have to have different makeup when we're on stage. If you were to perhaps just go on stage wearing normal day makeup, a bit of concealer, powder, and perhaps a little bit of mascara, you would end up looking like a ghost. Because of the amount of light that they have on stage, spotlights and different colored lights, it has tendency to really wash you out. Generally, when we're talking about basic stage makeup, this is not something you're going to wear down the street. This is something that is specific for on stage performance. It's really going to pop your features. It's going accentuate certain parts of your face, especially the eyes and the lips. We're going to contour everything and we're going to bring it all together to make you look really gorgeous, but really great from stage.
