What kind of make-up should a guy wear onstage?

I was wondering what kinds of make-up a guy should wear onstage. Any other tips would be great appreciated too.What kind of make-up should a guy wear onstage?
Foundation goes on first. It鈥檚 very thick, heavy cream and should be a little bit darker than skin tone. Two colors can be blended (the lighter one going on first) if there鈥檚 no color that鈥檚 appropriate. Darker (but not excessively dark) is always better. Start the foundation at the forehead and blend up to the hairline. Then cover the rest of the face, including ears, eyelids, and the neck. The neck is necessary so it doesn鈥檛 look like a mask. On guys, the entire neck (back too) is sometimes done, but this is messy. After the general foundation, a lighter color goes over the shadows under the nose and on the chin.





After all of the foundation is complete, the blush is done. Choose a rosy color (paler for men) and streak it over the cheekbone. Blend down and up, about halfway down the cheek. On men, it should look naturally rosy. The blush is also (very slightly) blended over the nose and onto the forehead. The blush will almost always be darker on women than one thinks at first. This must be visible to the audience from under the hot stage lights.





Next is the eye makeup, which is the most complicated part. First a very white 鈥榟ighlighter鈥?is used along the brow bone (right underneath the eyebrow) and under the eye. This should be well blended so there are no white streaks, but the area is lightened. Next, a color that鈥檚 a little darker than skin tone is brushed over the eye, just above the eyelid but below the brow bone. This is also blended beneath the eye. Over this, an even darker color is put along the top of the eyelid and is blended downwards. It also acts as an eyeliner, but only on the top of the eye. On men, this may be enough for eyeliner. After color is on, line the eyes with dark brown or a similar color. Black should never be used unless the character is very dramatic and needs wild makeup. Last, mascara is put on the top lashes. Try putting the wand into your lashes and blinking 鈥?this makes errors less likely.





After this is lipstick, which is fairly simple. For men, choose a color which is only a little bit darker than their usual lip color. Lip liner should match this. Liner and lipstick can be put on in any order; it depends on the individual鈥檚 preference. Make sure that the liner goes on the outside of the lips, and not outside the natural line. This will look fake. Liner can be used over all the lips before lipstick is put on to make it stick better and last longer. Lipstick should fill in the lips completely and be dark enough to be seen from the stage. Up close, it should look garish and unrealistic, like Halloween wax lips. In men, it should be slightly more natural. They shouldn鈥檛 look like they have makeup on when they鈥檙e on stage.





Last, loose powder is dusted over the face. Dip a large brush into a jar of the powder, then shake it to get most of the powder off. Not doing so will result in a large white streak over the makeup that鈥檚 just been done, and will ruin it. The purpose of this powder is to secure the makeup in place and make it less likely to run when the actor sweats on stage.What kind of make-up should a guy wear onstage?
Ok, I'm a certified makeup artist, but have a theatre degree... I can answer this question easily. There are a few things to consider however. What age you're supposed to be, the size of the venue, the type of lighting you will be under.





In a small house with very little bright lighting, you can get away with just some mascara and a little bit of a neutral lip-colored lipstick.





If the lights are bright and/or the house is much larger, you may need a bit more color. Eyeliner in brown is always suitable for a natural male look. Not dark enough to truly read like eyeliner but dark enough to add a touch of impact. For an even more subtle look try to add small dots along the lash line instead of a full line. You can throw a white pencil liner in the inner rim of your lower eyelids to widen the look of your eye.





Foundation should always be your natural shade. Darker or lighter will look off. Liquid and creme foundations tend to blend into skin easier than powder foundations. Because powder foundations are dry, they aren't as readily absorbed into the skin and so under bright lighting (just as in flash photography) it may simply reflect light and make you look more pale than you actually are.





Blush should be used anywhere the sun naturally hits you (cheeks, nose, forehead) as well as your jawline if you're hoping to enhance it. Adding pink or light orange color in this way makes you appear younger. If you're looking to age yourself, use browns instead.





Lips should be a neutral shade. Most likely you don't want anything too glossy.





Eyeshadow isn't entirely necessary. But if you want to use some, something like a simple matte pink and/or pale brown.





Write me if you have further questions.
For basic make-up:





Foundation that matches your skin tone. I recommend first applying a light layer of liquid/mousse foundation and then dusting your face with matching powder foundation





Eyeliner on your bottom eyelids (a rich brown or black)





A little blush on your cheeks (make it a subtle color, not pink)





A natural color lipstick (only apply a little, and rub lip balm on top to make it last longer)





I'm in theatre at school, so I've seen guys apply make-up (with us girls helping). Have fun!
The same as a girl, stage makeup only makes you visible to the audience, without it you look blank, all the makeup does is make your features stand out so that you can clearly be seen.
white complete face, thick eyeliner, and red form the mouth(to look like you have blood coming out of your mouth
Try a light neutral color that just brings the colors out in you. Remember makeup on stage makes you look normal ( if you do it right ) because of the bright lights.
Okay here's a shopping list for you:





Foundation, Black eyeliner, White Eyeliner, Brown Eyeliner, Blush, a very light lip gloss, a sponge and hairspray.





The White/Brown eyeliner are for wrinkles, Blush is for when your playing a kid, Sponge is for giving you a five a clock shadow and you spray the hairspray on your face after you've completed your make-up. If you want more details you can e-mail. me.
