What is a cheap brand of makeup I can use as stage makeup?

I am directing a play and I am needing to get some more stage makeup (lip liner, lip stick, eyebrow pencils, black eyeliner, eye shadow, and cover up), I am wanting to get these at an actual store that i can go to but I also need them cheap, I'm running on a $100 budget so the cheaper the better, but i need it to be used to do stage makeup so it needs to be able to be applied thickly and be noticeable if anyone can help me with this please do, I'm not a makeup person but my makeup artists say they need these things and I'm in charge of getting them so PLEASE HELP!!|||If you need to get it cheap, you're going to have shop at a drug store. There are a few drug store brands that are actually good, though, so here's my advise:



--Remember to stay away from any colors that are very shimmery. Not only will the formulas not hold up as well under the stage lights, but the audience will see a shiny patch on the actor's face instead of colored make up. Also, these types of products usually aren't as pigmented as matte ones, and you'll be wasting your budget.

--Don't get anything with mineral sunscreens in it (titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.) These reflect light very well, and will show up A LOT paler underneath the stage lights.

--Any of Loreal's HIP line that you can afford to splurge on, DO SO! These products are very highly pigmented for their price. Their matte lip glosses can be used as a lipstick. Yes, they are THAT pigmented. Of course, the actual lip sticks are awesome as well. Get other HIP products as you see fit. They are worth it, I promise. The eye shadows might be too shimmery, so only get those if you can find some good matte colors.

--For lip liners, get any brand of the actual wooden pencils. The twist up formulas from drug stores are total crap. :P Look for one that says long lasting, or try Wet 'n' Wild. It's the cheapest, and also very long lasting because they didn't bother formulating it to be moisturizing (hence the good price, lol.) Same principle goes for their brow liners.

--Wet 'n' Wild Mega Eyes Cream Eye Liner is the absolute BEST cheap eye liner I have ever tried. Needless to say, get the black one! It wears better than the expensive stuff I've used. :)

--For the concealer, get anything cheap that's a STICK or THICK PASTE!! NOT LIQUID!! TRUST ME!! Cover girl actually has some very opaque concealers. They aren't the best formulas, but the make up artist is probably going to use a good primer and powder, so this shouldn't be an issue.

--The eye shadows might be a little trickier, because I don't know what colors your artist needs. You might need to splurge on this one. Just remember to stick with mostly matte colors, and pick the ones that are a little darker than you think they should be. Don't buy Cover Girl or Wet 'n' Wild eye shadows because they have almost no pigmentation. I'd try Loreal or Revlon, but their colors are pretty generic. Try to find a brand with loose pigment pots if you need more unusual colors. Remember to get a plain matte white, as the make up artist might need a highlighter shade (and white matches everything.)



EDIT: I hope this information helps you out, and good luck with your shopping!|||Eyes, lips, and cheeks: Black Opal is fab or most other drugstore brands marketed for African American skin tones. The pigments are much richer and colors have a lot of pop!





Face: Max Factor grease paint sticks are a classic, and also come in a lot of pink based shades that are stage lighting friendly. Set with a basic translucent powder.|||Ya Elf is super cheap. They had a 32 palette of eyeshadow at target for only $5.00. Pretty cheap. Or you can go to a local drugstore but i think elf is much more cheaper.|||walgreens has like one dollar eyeliners and lip liners and things like that, but E.L.F is great for lip gloss and concealer, look at eyeslipsface.com and see if you like it, target has a great selection of their products|||Go to Target and get ELF . They sell it at most Target stores .


Its like $1-$6 at most for almost everything they sell .|||I'd say GO TO CLAIRES! they have the best cheap makeup :)

You can go to the dollar tree, target, or www.eyeslipsface.com|||just go to like cvs or something. u can get stuff cheap|||For the lip liner and lip stick get Revlon.





For your black eyeliner, get Revlon if you want a stick eyeliner, Maybelliene if you want gel eyeliner, and Covergirl if you want liquid.





For the eyeshadow, they sell these really cool packs from Maybelliene that has about 4 colors in it and they're pretty good quality for $7 (or atleast I think it is- last time I checked)! http://www.maybelline.com/products/110/eyes/eye-shadow/eye-studio-color-plush-silk-eyeshadow/sapphire-siren/20?shadeId=579





For your coverup (it's actually called concealer just so you'll know for the future :) get Maybelliene's FIT ME concealer.





Hope this helped you. Good luck! :)
