4 Who remembers why? Enabling the actor’s features to be seen under harsh stage lights, and from a great distance.

5 This is an approximation of what the distance and brightness of the stage will do to one’s appearance. Which looks more natural and easier to see? …duh.

6 Application Foundation Should be one to two shades darker than the skin of your face (not your wrist). TOO DARK TOO LIGHT

7 Application Foundation Apply with a slightly damp sponge, smudging onto the face in short strokes until it’s evenly covered. Blend down onto neck. Set with translucent powder.

8 Application Contouring First, Highlighting second Two methods of application 1: Dab onto skin with a sponge, then blend with a longer, wider-bristled brush. 2: Brush lightly onto skin with a similar brush, then blend with a separate blending brush.

9 Notice the differences between the two images.

10 The Feminine contouring usually utilizes more blending over a wider area. This creates longer, smoother curves than on the masculine face. The less you blend, the more harsh the angles seem to be. It’s the difference between an edge and a curve.

11 Contouring and highlighting map

12 Contouring and highlighting It is important to think of makeup as manipulating light and shadow, as this is how we visually determine shape.

13 Contouring and highlighting Pause and examine: spend three minutes examining the areas of shadow and light on your face. Ask yourself these questions: 1.Where does the light hit? 2.Where are the areas of greatest contrast between light and dark? 3.Where does light and shadow blend, and where are the hard divides between the two?

14 Contouring and highlighting For bragging rights: What is the magic number for stage lighting?

15 Contouring and highlighting Assume that the average lighting for most shows will have the angle of light around 45 degrees (vertical and horizontal). Occasionally, you’ll have to make adjustments for unusual lighting situations, but it’s exceedingly rare to spend a whole show monster-lit.
