When a person appears on stage, the speaking public is among the top ten things which scare you. Imagine, what public speaking on a stage with bad make up can do for your self esteem. A professional make up artist can't help you fight the stage fright but he or she can solve the problem with bad make up.

Applying Stage Makeup like a Professional
It is important to know which make up products suit you best. The wrong product or tool can spoil your look. For example, the incorrectly chosen foundation can make your face look flat and expressionless. The wrong lipstick can draw attention only to your lips and take away from stage presence. But opposite of appearing expressionless is appearing overly exaggerated. Bad tools can make your lines appear clown-like or even sloppy and smeared. As a result your make up will be unnatural an fake looking.

A successful make up should involve balance of visual and reality. The poeple sitting in the back of auditorium should see facial features just like the people sitting in the front. Try to use panstick foundation in a shade or two darker than normally used for its coverage and visibility. Then apply loose powder to set your make up. Choose eye shadow with a high pigment. The color of your lipstick should complement your skin tone.

Accent your eyes with black or dark brown mascara and eyeliner. Then apply concealer and highlighter. To define your eyes you can use false eye lashes. It is also important to use these essential tools while applying your make up: sponge for foundation, velour powder puff, natural hair shadow brushes, a lip brush and a mascara wand and curler.

Recommendations for Application of Stage Make up:
1. It is crucial to cleanse your face well before applying stage make up. Your make up will last longer and will be applied easier if you remove all dirt and oils from your face. It is also advised to use a tonner for balancing the skin's pH.

2.  Once the face is clean, you can apply the eyelashes. They will adhere better if you don't use moisturizer.
