What makeup do actors use?

Question

I have tried countless foundations trying to find one that won't rub off. Every Sunday I do my best not to get makeup on my preachers jacket or anyone else's clothes. It is hard work. What are actors using when you see them on the screen rubbing there face on someone else's clothes and nothing rubs off.

I have tried Bare Minerals. It wasn't as good as everyone says. Just didn't work for me.

I always use powder. I don't want stage makeip just want to know why in movies there makeup never rubs off onto someone else's clothes

Answer 1

If you brush a powder over top of regular foundation, it will set and should not come off with light rubbing. I would also suggest you find a good concealer if you are wearing foundation to cover blemishes or scars.

The thing about stage makeup is that when people see you up close, it will be VERY obvious that you are wearing makeup. If you are definately wanting stage makeup, I would suggest Ben Nye which is availible online and at most theater / stage stores. It is the most commonly used professional stage makeup.

Hi, go to www.wonderful.myarbonne.com and check out their About Face Makeup line. They have a 45 day return policy so if you didn't like it you could return it. Arbonne products are pure, safe and beneficial. There are no animal by-products in them and never tested on animals. If you want to know what is in OTC makeups and lotions just google "rendering plants" to check it out. My daughter has started using the Arbonne makeup line and really likes it and is happy with it. She is 30 y/o.

Try using Smashbox's face primer and foundation. Expensive, but definitely worth it.
