The vasoline is a great tip... it mainly keeps it from running into your eyes. For magicians doing a blindfold act, there are other advantages to using it at key positions on your nose as well. That's all I'll say!

Yeah, But don't have a hard contact slip off when you are doing the blindfold act. It becomes a really blindfold act when you are as blind as I am.

Here's a couple theatrical makeup titles you may find interesting, Darkwing.
Stage Makeup by Richard Corson ISBN-13: 978-0138405397 http://www.amazon.com/Stage-Makeup-Richa......38405395 Stage Makeup: The Actor's Complete Guide to Today's Techniques and Materials ISBN-13: 978-0823088393 http://www.amazon.com/Stage-Makeup-Compl......_sim_b_1 Mehron & Max Factor are also excellent for stage use.
Pleased to continue finding that all the world's a stage.

I always use make up! I have a shiny forhead.. So with a lot of lights on your face, it might reflect and it looks kinda.. weird.
I use a light creme to cover the darker area where facial hair would be, then I use a slightly darker creme for the entire face. Wearing make up looks funny in broad daylight, but under all those lights, it looks quite natural. Also, what I find very helpfull for magicians is eyeliner, just a little bit! And your audience will stare at your eyes, because it will look you're staring at them.. All of these products should be gotten at a theater shop, not at a grocery store, the stuff I use is specifically designed for 'Theater, TV and Movies'. If you use make-up, don't forget to use transparent powder (don't know the exact name in english), it will take the shine off your face and the make up will not go off as easily (on your clothes that is, bowtie, shirt, etc..) |

Dave Womach published a DVD "Stage Make Up for magicians & assistants". Since few months Murphysmagic distribute them. I bought it but I don't found the time to watch it. I use Make Up if there are bright lights.

I had to take Makeup in college for my photography degree. Of course, the makeup for stage, television or theater all are applied differently depending on the venue and the lights. I used cream stick makeup in college. Later, I tried pancake but just could not get the hang of it. Now I pretty much use liquid makeup. It is easy to put on, cleanup and stays put.
As for setting the makeup, the old circus clowns powdered between each color and then patted it with water. It would last all day. I recommend a stage makeup class at a community college. The Richard Corson book is still the bible of stage makeup. Richard

OK, how about for us bald guys? Can we just powder the tops of our heads so they don't shine, or do we need to use some foundation up there?
Second question: stage with no special lighting, like on a dias in a hotel or conference center with just the room lights. What changes from the above advice would you give? Thank you. |

Guys who are more concerned just about shine might consider just picking up a primer. It's just a colourless sort of gel that will mattify your skin. (Also, your skin will feel incredibly soft. Probably not a big concern for most men, but I quite like it.) Now, this is really more for tv, photos, etc, but it's still something to keep in mind.
One word of advice: eyebrows. Please, please darken your eyebrows, especially if you're quite fair. Nothing makes you look more pulled-together than a nicely defined eyebrow. |

Aqua colour is great stuff water soluble and lasts for ages , runs about 10 dollars for a tub best to go to a dance shop for this or a good make up shop. My parents used to use dark powder foundation with a wet yes wet sponge so it went on thicker.
