Intermediate Stage Makeup

Makeup intended for use in the theatre is vastly different from makeup that you might wear out and about or even for a special occasion. It benefits every theatre student to take this course so they have the necessary tools to look their best on stage. This intermediate course builds on the basic principles and techniques of theatre makeup.

Through the eye of a makeup artist, students will explore concepts of facial structure, aging, how to match skin tone, proper use of highlight and shadow, blending, basic corrective makeup, safety, and hygiene.

By the end of this course, the student will:

• Gain knowledge and appreciation of theatrical makeup design
• Understand the function of makeup for stage and film
• Have the tools to build and maintain a makeup kit
• Design and apply both corrective and character makeup on themselves and other actors
