show's tommorrow, breaking out cause of makeup?

Question

ok so here's the deal, the last show for our play is tommorrow...the show's been going on for 2 days now, the days of the dress rehersal and opening night i forgot my own makeup at home so i had to use the makeup that was provided, it was fine and then i brought my own makeup and now i'm starting to break out. i can't seem to figure out why this is happening...but, the final show is tomorrow and i need to figure out before then (i mean, i really dont wanna put makeup on and then start breaking out on stage lolz)

the makeup provided was not previously used, in fact just to be completely sure, i opened the sealed case myself and i was the only one using it, but yes, i know, this is still horrible for my skin but it was completely neccessary :/

it's just an allergic reaction, so its jus a rash (thank goodness there are no pimples or else i would have been one uhappy camper) lolz

Answer 1

Try washing your face with alchohol.I know it sounds terrible but during the summer I break out wicked bad from the heat and doing that like once midweek it helps a lot.Also before you put on stage make up, try and put a very thin layer of vasaline on your face before you apply.It will also help ease the cleaning afterwards.If alchohol sounds too harsh, try using a warm water scrub on a regular wash cloth and then washing with a special fash cleanser, rinse very well.Just keep your face moisturized before and after the application of the stage make up.It's so hard on your skin applying and reapplying the make up.Try and avoid regular make up for about a week after your play.This will help your skin recover and look better.Enjoy!!!

Answer 2

Use your own makeup! They usually provide cakey stuff that has been dipped into by multiple people and is therefore unsanitary. Since you only have one more performance, wear your own and stick it out. But DON'T wear it any longer than necessary. You've obviously had an allergic reaction. That pancake junk clogs pores to the point of suffocating your skin. Wash with an acne cleanser after wiping it all off with cold cream. I use Pond's cold cream myself. Put on a repairing moisturizer or medicated lotion, and let your skin breathe for a few days. Drink water and wear no make up but lip gloss for a day or so and you'll be fine. Break a leg! :)

Answer 3

Breaking out like pimples or a rash. If its a rash you are having an allergy and stop using the makeup and if it is pimples... sorry they will still be there tomorrow. Now you will have learned never to use community make-up. You never know what kinda nastyness is in it.
