Overview of class

This class is a lecture and demonstration course in which students will learn the principles of makeup design and execution for the stage. The class focuses on both creating design ideas and learning technical skills of applying stage makeup.
By the end of the quarter, students will understand the process of both designing and applying makeup for the stage. They will become familiar with the design process, conducting research before creating their own unique final makeup designs for a specific character. Students will learn to apply both two and three dimensional makeup applications, including techniques for basic corrective and old age makeup, facial injuries and gore, and abstract designs.
Students will learn each makeup technique from provided materials, recorded videos, and live tutorials. During these latter, synchronous tutorials, the instructor will lead students through the process of applying makeup and provide real-time feedback.

Class Materials (Required)

Students must purchase the Ben Nye theatrical makeup kit ($68.00), additional facial cleansers, mirror and other optional makeup.
