How to Apply Powder for Stage Makeup

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Sarah Mclellan and we are in New York City. Today on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you how to apply makeup for stage. Now you can see my concealer is all done. I probably look very ghost like at the moment because I have no real feature popping out other than the ones on my face already. I have some nice pressed powder. I like to use this. I feel it's very velvet and kind of sets my base for what I need. I'm just going to put some powder on. I'm just patting it and kind of smoothing it out. I'm even putting powder on my eyelids up through my forehead and the side. Make sure you get it on the bridge of your nose an the outside. You want to make sure that your base is nice, smooth, and set because when you get under the light, you're going to sweat a lot. You want to make sure that it's not just going to drip off you. What I'm going to do now is I have a base that's got a little bit more color in it. It's a little bit more orange based. It's a darker color and I want to kind of top off my base with that. I'm just putting a little bit of the darker color base on. It's not really going to make that much of difference. As I said, you want it to be a little bit darker than your regular makeup. There we go. Base is done."
