[This page is part of a mirror of my Canvas learning system pages I created for my Drama 112 Intro Stage Makeup class at DVC. If you want to use this content for another Canvas class shell you can find it in Canvas Commons by searching for “Tara Maginnis” and you can download all or part of this directly into your shell with all the extra cool formatting of colored divider lines, right side embedded Giphy animations, etc. already put in, if you are working with a different system, it is ok to copy and paste from here, and then customize the pages as you need for your classes].
- Nose & Scar Wax to create a nose and warts
- Cobblers Wax to create the look of damaged teeth
- Unnatural “skin” colors (green, blue, purple makeup and yellow glitter) to create the look of a fantasy character of a wacky witch.
You feel it isn’t easy being Green?
Happily, I have found a number of other videos of different sorts of theatrical makeup for different types of performance and different types of faces, all of which incorporate nose wax! Scroll down to see if you find any you think you’d like to watch!
No videos in your skin color? Alas, not all forms of systemic racism have an easy fix, (or exist because of intent). I spent many hours this semester, searching for some nose wax videos that were more varied, indeed I have been searching for these biannually for many years. If you ever run into a video you think might be useful for me to add to this video page (or other video pages) for this class, please send the URL of the video so I can add it. Foreign Language videos are good too. Lots of our students are ESL learners, so these videos can help them, and, of course 80% of the info in a makeup video transcends language anyhow.
