Theater Makeup

For now I must put away my blood, and move on, with a tear in my eye.
We have moved on to theater. meh.
First off, old aging, can kiss my ass. That shit is hard, long, and I hate it. Point finale la.

Past week, we have done chinese opera, where to me everyone looks like a mexican wrestler, which lead me to a 20 minute conversation on Nucha Lucha! I use to love that show. She is from mexico, and was surprised they played it here.
I didn't practice to much, I was tired and went home.
We also did over the top stage makeup where my teacher used me for her demo.
From close I looked like a 2 dollar hooker, from far it looked great.
You have to always remember people in the back row need to see your makeup. I didn't want to take it off, but people stare, and I get enough of that already. Be dramatic with stage makeup, don't be afraid to use colors, and sparkles!

When I used to go to dance school, and we would have a huge dance show at the end of the year, I remember the amount of makeup I would put on, and it never was enough. So usually our saying is "Less is more"
Now "More is more" doesn't make much sense but its true.
Theater is a really hard business to get into. People usually stay in it, and they always use the same makeup artist...or because there are so many shows, the artist do their own makeup everyday. A makeup artist comes in, teaches them how to do, then they do it on there own. Yes that makeup artist gets paid well to teach but I doubt I could live on it.

No one prepares you for this. I'm living my dream, but at what cost?
I have to stick to it no matter what. I love what I'm doing and its making me happy.
Been a while since I've been truely happy.
I had a panic attack the other day after going to backstage studio. where I could've probably done my whole training for so much less, and got more out of it. Called my best friend ranting, and freaking out about the whole situation, she just flat out told me " Tess you're the most motivated person I know in life...I've never seen anyone dedicated to making herself something then you...you're going to go far, and when you do i'll live in your mansion"
Shes right, and thats why I love her.
Plus i'm getting a pool boy. Sign up here.

Jeeze, got sidetracked. Ok so bottom line I refuse to ever do old aging again.
Intense stage makeup.
