Makeup for the Students

The new school year is in full swing, planning school plays for the year is under way. From grade school to universities, theater is on the horizon. There are students that will walk out before an audience for the first time and those that have done it many times. Taking the step onto the stage is an important step if its the first time or the twentieth time. Whether the stage is in a classroom, the School Auditorium or the University Theater it is an important step for each student. For some it will be another school experience and for some it will be the doorway to a career that never crossed their minds.

Making this first step a memorable one is a challenge that teachers face from year to year and student to student. Engaging students in the art of Theatrical Performance isn't easy, aside from fear and anxiety, teachers face the complexities associated with peer pressure when it comes to wearing costumes and makeup. Mehron has come to the rescue of Theater Teachers. As a leading manufacturer of Theatrical Makeup for over eight decades, Mehron Makeup, working with Professional Makeup Artists, has put together Student Makeup Kits for a variety of School Play projects including Dance Recitals. Each Student makeup Kit contains the same exact Professional Theatrical Makeup used on the stages of Broadway, the Sets of Major Motion Pictures, the Studios of Music Videos and musical live performances.

It will be easier to get your students to wear Theatrical Makeup when you explain that they will be wearing the same makeup as their favorite Actors, Actresses, and Musicians. When you tell hesitant students that Mehron Makeup produces Special Effects Makeup that creates Vampires, Werewolves, and Zombies for horror films, you will see interests peeked and attitudes change.

With the cuts in School Budgets, Theater Programs will have to watch their budgets, some may think that the Professional Theatrical Makeup used by the Entertainment Industry is beyond their means.

Using Professional Theatrical Makeup by Mehron means that each application requires less makeup than other forms of Makeup.
