Make Up For Musical?
In a couple of days I’m going to have to do my own make up, besides eyeshadow & blush, for my school’s musical. I’m not sure what to do though. I have eyeliner, mascara, powder, & lipgloss. I’m pretty pale, so the lights are going to probably wash me out a bit. Should I use a good amount of mascara & eyeliner to make my eyes “pop” a bit more? What about lip color? Should it be harsh? And advice is very welcome[I can't really ask anyone else I know in real life...]!

I’m guessing you’re just looking for basic makeup, rather than a specific character look. It depends on how big the theater is; if it’s very big, you’ll need a bit more definition around your eyes.
Foundation (a bit darker than you usually wear), eye shadow, mascara, eyeliner, lipstick (not lip gloss), & definitely, definitely blush. Powder it all down.
Here’s a description of basic application:http://www.essortment.com/all/applicatio…

I’ve been in alot of musicals so i understand exactly what your thinking. I’ve found that using lots of bronzer keeps me from looking washed out. A bolder, darker lip color helps too. Eyeliner & mascara are a great idea, just don’t line around the entire eye. Remember, stage makeup is always overdone, just not obnoxious.
