Ode to the theatre

Ok here goes! Today i have to write about stage makeup.
first things first: if you are going to be in a play, you have to know how a whore does her makeup. no joke, we seriously look like whores when we first put it on. the saying goes some thing like this " be more whore-like, the more whore -like the better" seriously, there was like a ton of makeup used today- and today was the first day of runthroughs with makeup. it was so fun. there were so many girls that were like "i don't know what to do. so all of us who know what to do just go and say "look like a whore" and then today, there was this girl who said " but i don't know how a whore does her makeup!!" we all laughed at that.
Next item of business: make sure your face is really clean, i mean, wash it right before you put your makeup on. otherwise, it will be really gross putting it on. trust me, i have seen the effects.
Thirdly: DO NOT PUT MAKEUP ON IN COSTUME! put it on before you get into costume otherwise, it will get all over your costume and then the costume mistress won't be happy. (trust me again on this one)
*side note*: if you are prone to break out, don't be in a play. the stage makeup will make you brake out like no other. i am not joking on this one. we had a girl who was like, i hope it doesn't make this thing worse*pointing to a zit on her nose* and then we were just like- sorry babe, there is no hope for you!! we are so mean in our drama program.
next thing on the list: wash off the makeup ASAP!!! i know, i know, sometimes the dressing room is crowded, i mean really crowded so as soon as you get home, make a beeline for the bathroom and get all of the stuff off, because trust me, that stuff sucks to try and get off too much later.
OH and by the way, that stuff really itches so good luck at not scatching it (that is one of the reasons you get it off asap.) and then, after you get it off, put moisturizer on your face because it will be really dry and it WILL burn. ( i wanted to like tear my face off it burned so bad today, until i got out my handy dandy moisturizer.
Anyways, that is all the advice for those wanting a career in drama or acting or anything like that that may involve stage makeup
