Hi lovlies! I just finished up with the children's show I've been rehearsing/performing for forever!! I cannot believe it's done. It was such a fun show, even with screaming children and 20+ performances. The show was "If You Take a Mouse to School" and I played the Teacher and Mother Mouse (Grandma Mouse) complete with ears. I am actually obsessed with my teacher costume (a screaming pink suit) that I'm greatly considering buying it..GREATLY! The overall theme was very pink, so I did my makeup to match.
UD Liquid Liner in Pervasion, MAC Creme Blush in Florida, discontinued Makeup Forever pink Lipstick, and Wet n' Wild Eyeshadow trio (magenta color) in Spoiled Brat= basic makeup usage. I had a quick change where I had to wipe this all off and turn into...
MOTHER MOUSE! This is some basic old-age makeup (and old-age clothing, hello lovely not totally turtleneck...) without speckling with my favorite stipple sponge because the lighting made it...wonky. Of course, this looks super cartoony and odd, but, with the magic of stage lights, I looked relatively and realistically old. It was funny because the majority of the children didn't even realize I was both roles, haha, silly children. This was actually applied in about two minutes because, it was a quick change with the basic highlighter and character shadow from my Ben Nye makeup kit. You can see my more intense aging/realistic aging makeup
here. All in all, I had a fun time, slapping on my makeup running around two shows a day, eeek! I have a ton of makeup to review/blog about now that I have a semblance of a life. Plus classes...eeek, classes...Until then...
