Short Discussion
     Benefits of being able to do stage make-up
          great to be seen by your audience
          sometimes the make-up artist is the only one being paid, especially in community
          theatre can use make-up to change features
     Pair up students- only one student will sit in the make-up seat. This  individual will
          work on the right side of their face, their partner will  put make-up on the left side
          of their face
     Find a student willing to be the demo

Activities
     Beginning with highlights, discuss placement (above eyebrows, down top of the nose, on top of or slightly above cheekbones, on chin) and application (not to thick, it is easier to add more that take away; blend edges), while conducting a demo.  Have students put make-up on after each demo.
    Move on to shadows, not too heavy, on the sides of the nose and two finger widths below the highlight on the cheek.  Discuss ways highlights and shadows can change features, demos and experimentation with certain looks.  On to eye liner and eye shadow - how to create the illusion eyes are larger, smaller, closer together, further apart, etc.  Next, blush and lipstick- placement, shades, styles, and so on.  A chat about the importance of powdering to set the make-up and help prevent running under the hot lights.  Students do not have to powder if they do not intend to wear make-up after the class, it will only make it harder to get off.

Discussion
     Look at everyone’s work and talk about the different styles and unique attributes.
     What worked for you?  What didn’t?
Clean Up
     Allow 10 minutes at the end of the class
