Powder Puffs Sponges

There are a number of different elements to stage makeup. This is a brief overview of the basics.

1. Foundations provide a base coat. There are three types:

a. Creme foundations are easy to mix and blend, go on smoothly and look natural under stage lighting.

b. Matte foundations provide a versatile blend of high pigmentation and natural coloring in a fine, textured crème. Apply with a sponge and dampen for a lighter finish.

c. Color cake foundations apply quickly and work well for body makeup applications. Easily applied with sponge and water, they also make a great base coat for white face or other character foundations.

2. Highlight and shadow are applied after foundation to rebuild facial features which are washed out by lighting and distance. Highlight and shadow are also used to change the appearance of the facial structure and to create the desired illusion for a particular character.

3. Concealer is applied beneath foundation with a flat or dome brush. Blend, then powder lightly before applying foundation. For intense discoloration, carefully apply additional layers of neutralizer.

4. Rouge is available in either creme or dry cake form. They may be used independently or creme rouge may be applied first and set with dry rouge. Apply creme rouge with fingertips. Apply dry cake rouge with a soft, full brush.

5. Cake eyeliner, applied with water or LiquiSet and a fine-tipped brush, is the easiest for most people to use. If heavy perspiration is likely to be a problem, liquid eyeliner may work better (FinalSeal is also an option for overcoming heavy perspiration).

6. Mascara is used to color the ends of the lashes, making them look thicker and the eyes larger.

7. Lip liner is placed around the outer edge of lipstick to accentuate the lips' shape and heighten their contrast with the general face makeup.

8. Lipstick is used to enhance or mask lips.

9. Powder is used to set the makeup after completion. Brush a thin veil over the entire face with a powder puff and remove excess with a powder brush.

The creative application of these makeup elements allow you to achieve just about any look you might want.

Girls, how do you apply foundation?

Do you use your fingers or a sponge? How do you apply your powder and brush or puff? And which do you feel gets the best results?

Everyone applies their foundation differently. I used to use the maybelline matte foundation. For that I used a sponge because it was easier to use than my fingers. Now I'm using liquid foundation. I squezze a bit out of it (mine's a tube) and dot it on my cheeks, chin, nose, and forehead. Then I rub it in. I use a transclucent powder to finish up my makeup and I apply it with a brush.

Whatever you think is easier and quicker will do for you. If you don't see any good answers here ask an older female you know like, your mom, your sister or your aunt.

Good luck!
