As always, everyone on stage will be wearing some sort of makeup. Please know that we will be requiring everyone to have their makeup checked before hand. Here we’ll make sure that your makeup matches your skin and that all your things have your name on them. Bring your makeup to practice on the 28th or April 2nd check it. A table with the “makeup people” will be set up so you can find us easily.

Note on foundation color- usually we’d say get a color that is a shade darker than your skin, but if you are stuck between two shades, pick the lighter one. It’s easier to fix foundation that’s too light than too dark.

You will need: I recommend that anyone who would like to purchase a Ben Nye Theatre Makeup kit. It contains everything you might need for makeup, except mascara (only girls). I would love it if the leads could purchase these, but please don’t feel like this is a “must”. It’s not. It is only about 25 dollars, which is less than getting all your makeup from Walmart or Walgreens if you need to buy everything. Here is the link: Amazon.com: ben nye makeup kits If you choose to buy one, you’ll have to pick a color that matches your skin…if you’re having trouble deciding come see Marcie Van de Voorde and she can help. Boys: All boys need a hair comb or brush And boys NOT buying Ben Nye kits will only need: foundation, bronzer, and makeup sponges. Girls: will need 2 cans of non-aerosol hair spray, LOTS of bobby pins that match your hair color, pony-tail holders (elastic) brush and comb. Curling iron to touch up curls.

PLEASE NOTE: All girls need to arrive at Seton for dress rehearsals and performances with your hair already curled!!! There will not be enough time to curl your hair here at Seton. Girls NOT buying Ben Nye kits will need: foundation, blush, natural eye shadow, eyeliner (NO WINGS), mascara, natural lip color (i.e. no bright red or pink), and makeup applicators.

Thanks so much everyone! -Marcie Van de Voorde and the makeup team
