HAIR/MAKE-UP
Below is a PRELIMINARY list of what is needed for hair and make-up for the performances (and dress rehearsals). Please read carefully to be sure your child will have everything they need.
EVERYONE will need certain items as stage make-up or to keep hats, etc. in place during performances. You must provide these items for your children. We will not have these items on hand for anyone.
ALL:
MAKE-UP
Each cast member will need their own make-up kit….or have their make-up applied at home. In my opinion, unless you need help with extensive animal make-up, applying it at home is the wiser choice. Space backstage is limited and we have a large cast, the less make-up sitting around, the less chance it ends up ruined or stained on a costume or on a teacher’s desk, etc.
Here’s a list of what we are looking for by character:
WHO’s-
Boys: you need a blush - with a brush…..light sweep across cheeks. A rusty brown lipstick……put a little on your finger and trace your lips with finger. Blot. A brown or black soft eye pencil
Girls: Blush, pink;; pink or red lipstick; light eye shadow; brown soft eye pencil (for freckles). Hair: Who kids can wear braided pigtails with pipe cleaners in braids to have them stick out to sides; Who moms, a bun or single braid is good.
Grinch: No need to do entire face green…..how about green eye shadow; black soft eye pencil.
Things: Blue eye shadow, a swipe of blush for cheeks; red lipstick. Hair - wearing a wig; need bobby pins
CAT: white face; black liquid liner and black soft pencil; red lipstick ; moisturizer and baby wipes
JOJO: see female Who’s
GERTRUDE: wear make up you’d wear for recital…. Blue soft pencil if you want to add a little eye drama. HAIR: one or two french braids; you have a headpiece; need bobby pins
MAYZIE: blush; red or bright pink lipstick; mascara ( black) ; soft eye pencils in black, purple, aqua; eye shadow palette with bright colors; false eyelashes (and eye glue), if you would like to wear them. HAIR: high bun or one braid down back- you have a headpiece; bobby pins
SOUR KANGAROO and ROO: blush; red lipstick(Sour Kangaroo), pink lipstick (Roo); black mascara, purple, green, and pink, soft eye pencils, blue and green eye shadow; false lashes, optional. HAIR: two high ponytails, you have a headpiece; need bobby pins
BIRD GIRLS: Blush; mascara – black, soft eye pencils in green and blue; eye shadow palette with bright colors; false lashes optional (with glue); red lipstick. HAIR: high bun or single braid down back - you must be the same so discuss; you have a headpiece, need bobby pins
JUNGLE ANIMALS, HORTON, WICKS: I recommend that you all have soft eye pencils in brown or black, blue, green, purple, an eye shadow palette with bright colors, including yellow; q-tips or eye make-up applicators; blush, white eye shadow single; red or bright pink lipstick; false lashes are optional, don’t forget eye glue . HAIR: to be decided for each animal
ALL ANIMALS, BIRDS and CAT should also have moisturizer and baby wipes or make-up remover pads, bobby pins, and a labeled make up container: a small cosmetic bag, plastic bag with zip seal, or back pack WITH YOUR NAME on it.
FOR EVERYONE: It is for your own safety that no one is permitted to share make up. Doing so is an easy way to pass along eye infections and viruses.
PURCHASING MAKE-UP: There is no need to spend a boatload of money on make-up. Eye palettes are available at very reasonable prices at ULTA, TARGET, WALMART, FIVE BELOW, and CVS. These stores also will have the other products needed. Check out products by WET N’ WILD, NYX, MAYBELLINE, and the ULTA brands. MAYBELLINE (pink container) has the best mascara. ULTA has multi pack of false lashes with five pair which is the wisest purchase since we have four shows. Don’t forget eye glue. (Lots of mascara works almost as well for those who prefer to skip the lashes.) I prefer a glossy lip color as opposed to matte, but either is fine. For those who need pink, don’t go too light….. Blush- if it doesn’t come with a small brush you need a blush brush.
My hope is to have a makeup clinic for those who need to do extensive make up prior to our dress rehearsal week. I will discuss with the kids on Saturday, to find a suitable time.
UNDERGARMENTS:
Everyone – keep undergarments simple – no wild designs, etc. Under the lights, we can see thru light colors!
PLEASE NOTE:
We CANNOT share make-up, brushes, hair supplies, etc.
Make sure your child’s supplies are in a sturdy container – PUT THEIR NAME ON EVERYTHING!
Also, it is a good idea to send in a couple of band-aids, cotton balls, tissues and a water bottle.
If any additional make-up supplies are needed, we will let you know.
