Today in drama I read a book about stage makeup by Cathy west! The book told me about tips and tricks about stage makeup, like lighting tricks, color, and details. The book had two main sections, stage makeup, and film makeup. In the book, it told us about the differences in stage and film makeup, for example, stage makeup has to be suitable for indoors and outdoors. Whereas film makeup has to be suitable for closeups and longshot making it easy to spot mistakes in makeup, therefor film makeup has to be perfect. The reason we were reading books is because we wanted to gain knowledge of skills and careers that we would be interested in. The most important thing on stage is energy if you don't have the energy you won't get the part you want or the character you portray will not give the effect that it is supposed too, therefore ruining the energy of the performance.
