Tips On Purchasing Theatrical Makeup Supplies

By Roger Anderson


Performances are affected by how one looks like. There was a time only women cared about how they looked but these days men too have to worry especially if one is one the limelight. If you are an artist you must have contacts of several good companies that do theatrical makeup supplies. This would help just in case you urgently needed their services.

It can be easy to get these companies but you must have been worked with different acts on different plays to tell that their products are good. Do thorough research about companies making these products. With cosmetic things you can never be sure. Sometimes you find that the chemicals used react with some actors. Look for a company that is known to make quality products.

Know how much they cost. You are dealing with different people having different skin tones therefore one will need more kits to suit everyone. Buying special kit for each person could be expensive but if you are buying in bulk it is easier to get at a discount. Know the brand and the cost so that you know how to negotiate from that point.

Reputation is very important. If a company is known to make good products they will always do so to keep up with the high demand. That is why those brands that have already been established in this business keep their customers and attract more of them. They are expensive but their products are so good that one cannot afford to purchase from anywhere else.

Before letting your crew use these products it is important to get testimonies from other people. Make sure you ask for advice as it helps you to be in a position to make better decisions. They will give you advice from their angle especially if they have used these products. Ask for guidance from people closer to you as they could direct you to better products.

It is important to know the items used in making some of these products so that you are in a position to select wisely. People have different skin types and not everyone is in a position to resist irritation. Since you cannot go looking for different products for every person look for a store where you can find products that are universal.

It would be embarrassing to have the actors on stage with their make up all over. Therefore when doing the selection get the best quality. To know if it is long lasting or not ask from your seller so that they can give you a guideline. You can also take one kit for trying out and if it turns out to be as the seller explained you get more for the actors.

Have different shades provided the colors are relevant for most genres of plays being acted. Do not blindly buy items that are not needed as it would be waste of resources. For one to be in a position to know which colors are needed you must be following the way they act to get experience. It helps you to shop for these products easily.
