My Theater Makeup Routine (A Semi Tutorial)

HEY, I'M BACK, GUYS!  Haha, so I'm here to tell you about what I'm doing with my current theater production in terms of makeup and a few tips about it.  Let's get started!  *does an outro dance*


Face:
1. I prime my face using the Tarte Clean Slate Face Primer.  I use this to help keep my makeup on my face all through out the performance as well as keep my face matte.  I just apply the product with my fingers.
2. Next, I apply the Tarte ReCreate Foundation in #10 Cool Sand with my fingers.  This has great coverage, plus it helps fight wrinkles, even if I have none yet.  :)
3. I apply my Covergirl TruConceal Concealer if needed.
4. Using my Benefit Highbeam, I highlight my nose bridge and cheekbones.
5. Lastly, I set everything with my E.L.F. Translucent Setting Powder and a kabuki brush.


Eyes:
1. Firstly, I prime my eyes using my Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer Potion (Original).
2. I apply a shimmery or glittery shade all over the lid.  Today I have on Toasted from Urban Decay.
3. Next, I put a matte shade into my crease.  Today, it is Tease by Urban Decay.
4. I highlight my brow bone and inner corner with Virgin by Urban Decay.
5. Using my NYX Eyeliner in Black, I line my eyes.
6. I smudge my NYX Eyeliner in Bronze Glitter on my lower lashes.
7. I curl my lashes with my E.L.F Lash Curler.
8. Lastly, I apply my Maybelline Falsies Flared Mascara.


Cheeks:
1. I contour my cheeks with Hoola Bronzer.
2. I use my NYX Blush in Peach on the apples of my cheeks.  I have to use a lot though as to not get washed out by all the lights on the stage.


Lips:
1. I use Benetint as a base of sorts in case everything on top of it wears off.
2. I apply MAC Longwear Lip Creme in Perpetual Flame.
3. I use Stila's Lip Glaze in Cranberry so I won't dry out my lips.


So yeah, that's what I use and stuff, and now I have to go!  Later guys!
