Theatre Makeup Essentials
In the fast-paced world of live performance, artists need to be able to rely on effective and professional makeup that will survive the rigorous demands of theatrical arts. Ben Nye makeup provides products and tools necessary for creating elaborate character makeup designs that enhance the immersive experience of the theatrical environment. Stage makeup requires a balance of highly pigmented formulas, and durable performance grade products – two things we here at Ben Nye excel in.
Creme Foundations
Our classic Creme Foundations offer a broad range of densely pigmented creme shades in a full coverage formulation. The rich creamy texture allows these cremes to apply and blend with ease. Ensure the structure of the face translates properly from stage by highlighting and contouring with foundations or creme contours at least two shades lighter, and deeper than the base foundation tone. These foundations will also blend flawlessly with Creme Colors.
Classic Face Powders
Classic Face Powders have become a universal tool for success in setting heavy duty creme foundations and offering a superiorly matte complexion for stage performances. Neutral Set works for all colors and skin tones while providing perspiration control. Super White amplifies white makeup, like clowns, and translucent powders in shades like Chestnut and Fair cover a range of skin tones.
Theatrical Eye Shadow Palette
For a universally functional and professional array of eye shadow shades, utilize our 8 color Theatrical Eye Shadow Palette. These highly contrasting shades provide artists with our most popular pressed shadow colors for sculpting, defining, and enhancing the eyes, cheeks, and face for stage makeup.
Theatrical Rouge Palette
Up on stage, performers are usually washed out from all the stage lights they are standing under. To handle the intense lighting of stage productions, our blush colors come in a captivating variety of vividly pigmented hues that add a little extra life into the cheeks and keep the complexion vibrant and life-like. Our Theatrical Blush Palette is an 8-shade assortment of neutral, and bold tones that help bring any character to life. Powder Blush is available in single shades too.
Theatrical Creme Kits & Character Kits

Final Seal Setting Spray
