Stage makeup evaluation


For the theatre makeup, I like the depth and detail I included as it makes the makeup much more noticeable on a medium to large sized stage for the audience to be able to see the different contour lines and the depth of the eyes. I also like the style of the makeup, such as the colours used and the style of the eye makeup. The reason I like the colours used is because the red lipstick compliments the pink pigment of the cheeks, seemingly pulling the look together, whereas if there was only colour on the lips but not on the cheeks, the rest of the makeup would seem more 'out of place'. The reason I like the style of the eye makeup is because I can clearly see how the shading of the eyeshadow really makes the eyes stand out just enough so that they aren't the main focus over the rest of the makeup.


However, I could improve how I use the cake eyeliner as I found it difficult to apply it accurately, causing the lines to be uneven and too thick on both of the eyes. I could also improve the different brushes I use for different tasks as I find myself using the same brushes over and over again, even if they still have other products on them.


This makeup is also suitable for the stage as, from the way it looked in real life, it was noticeable from far away due to the bold colours, making it suitable for a medium and small sized stage and audience. If this makeup was meant for a large stage and audience size, the contour and eye makeup would need some added pigment to make it stand out more. The makeup would also still stand out underneath the stage lights as there weren't any vibrant colours used (apart from red).

Pantomime Dame makeup evaluation

  For the pantomime dame makeup, I like the outcome of the eye makeup, the orange especially, because I like how it has been blended from dark to light. I also like the eyeliner both on the eyelid and below the eye, including the white, as it enhances the eye shape and size. However, I need to improve on being able to cover up my eyebrows and raising the drawn on ones further up my forehead as they were too far down. I also need to darken the contouring on the cheeks and the jaw. I also think I should darken the outline of the lips too as it isn’t as visible as it should be. This makeup would be suitable for a small and medium sized stage and audience as it can be seen from far enough away. The colours could also work underneath certain stage lights as they wont be blended together. edit: 23/05/2021

LSOH meeting 12:

  LSOH meeting 12: 19/05/2021 The day before the production. To start off this meeting, we began by checking through the production folder together to make sure we had everything we needed in there, including face charts, makeup designs, actors headshots and skin consultation sheets. It was important we had all of this in there as it was important we knew what makeup we were doing, how we would be applying it to the actors face and which products we needed to check for and organise. This showed good organisation skills as we were checking beforehand to make sure we had everything ready for the production nights. We then took some time to work in the LRC to polish up our blogs for a little while and add in anything we may have missed; this could include: adding in any missing images and any information on what we had discussed/decided on during previous meetings. It is important to keep track of all of this as it helps us keep track of what we have all worked on throughout the produ...
