Stage Makeup<br />
These professional-quality kits contain all of the<br />
essentials required to design straight <strong>and</strong> old-age<br />
characters. Ben Nye’s cream formula feels light, yet the<br />
colors are versatile for main stage or intimate staging.<br />
Because it is a cream, it won’t dry out the face like<br />
pancake or add oil like greasepaint. These makeups<br />
are easily blended, long lasting <strong>and</strong> irritation free. Kits<br />
now contain more foundations <strong>and</strong> liners. Each kit<br />
contains: five cream foundations, a total of nine<br />
color liners, rouges, highlights <strong>and</strong> shadows, dry<br />
rouge, three brushes, two pencils, nose wax, spirit<br />
gum, makeup remover, silver hair grey, latex<br />
sponge, stipple sponge, face powder <strong>and</strong> powder<br />
puff. Individually, these items would cost over $100,<br />
but in the kit you get all this for only $49.95. Six<br />
different makeup kits are available for various skin tones.<br />
