Everyone will wear makeup.
There is no discussion on this, even the boys MUST wear it!

We are trying for a natural look on most everyone, so try to find browns, tans, grays. If you do not know if you have allergies, it is best to spend a bit more on the hypo-allergenic.

Please try all makeup at home first if you have never worn it.

Everyone will need the following makeup items:

EYE SHADOW - any color, but dark colors work best.
MASCARA- water-based works best
EYELINER - pencil or liquid, your choice
BASE- should be a couple of shades darker than your normal skin. NOT much darker.
POWDER- neutral shade
BLUSH - girls more of a pinkish color - boys more of a rust or burgandy color
LIPSTICK - red or neutral - again, we are going for a natural look - this is more to enhance the lips than to color them "pretty"

The following items will also be needed by almost everyone:
q-tips
cotton balls
cold cream
baby wipes
eye makeup remover
astringent
hair spray
hair brush or comb
hair pins and/or bobby pins
safety pins (these are always needed for costumes)

I can not stress enough how important it is to try all items at home first, in case of allergic reaction. This past summer during Fairy Tales a young lady who is also in this show, used some baby wipes on her face and had an AWFUL reaction to them! It was quite scary and we don't want to have that happen to anyone in the show.
Parents, please caution your young children against sharing any makeup products with anyone. It's very easy to see it sitting on the counter and put it on, only to get an infection later.


PLEASE LABEL EVERY SINGLE THING YOU BRING TO THE THEATRE AND DO NOT BRING ANYTHING YOU CAN NOT REPLACE!


ALSO, PLEASE REFRAIN FROM WEARING PERFUMES, AFTER SHAVE, ANY SCENTS AT ALL, AS LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE BREATHING REACTIONS TO THESE THINGS AND WITH THIS MANY PEOPLE IN THE GREEN ROOM IT WILL SMELL WEIRD IN THERE REAL QUICK!

ALSO NOTE NO JEWELRY IS TO BE WORN ON STAGE UNLESS IT IS CLEARED WITH MARIE FOR YOUR CHARACTER. THIS INCLUDES WATCHES, RINGS, EARRINGS, NECKLACES. THIS THINGS PICK UP AND FLASH LIGHT WHERE IT IS NOT NEEDED.
