Makeup
I have dry sensitive acne prone skin and a tech week plus performances all in a row can make my skin go crazy. I love this for helping to control those breakouts. Also love it after a workout
SOS Rescue Spray

My favorite start to melting the stage makeup off my face. My skin is too sensitive to use face wipes everyday during tech/performances. This stuff is super gentle and I love that it's affordable.
2.0 oz Holy Hydration! Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
This is my holy grail for giving me a great base and keeping my makeup on for the entire performance. Just remember to give it about 30secs on your face before applying your foundation. It's a little tacky just until it dries
Power Grip Primer - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
Stage makeup doesn't need to be expensive and this concealer is my go to.
Fair Rose Hydrating Camo Concealer - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
I love ELF primers so much. I sometimes use this one instead of the green one when I'm feeling my face is more red or my skin is irritated. I also feel this one helps with my light 11 lines
Power Grip Primer + 4% Niacinamide - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
This is the only setting spray I use. I'm obsessed with it. It's a super fine mist and my face lasts all performance and beyond. It gives a moisturizered appearance.
Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
This is a foundation I often use for my everyday but I also love it for stage because it's super buildable for coverage. It blends well with both a brush and sponge and it's almost always less than $10 which makes it super affordable
10 Fair Cool Soft Glam Satin Foundation - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
If you have noticed a trend yet I love ELF for affordable yet quality makeup products. This is another I love. I don't use bronzer much in everyday life but it's a need for the stage and I love how easy this one is to apply and blend.
1 Fair Camo Liquid Bronzer & Contour - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
I got this for a show I am currently in. (shade 125c) and I love the full coverage a little goes a long way! I have dry skin and this has a dewy like finish that I love.
Fair 125 C Camo Hydrating CC Cream SPF 30 - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
I am obsessed with the product. You absolutely can wear this on its own to just even out your skin tone a little and make pore look less big but for theatre I love to wear it over my elf green or pink primer because it just helps to make my skin look...
Universal Sheer Liquid Poreless Putty Primer - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
My current show wants us with a more pink color lip and I love a lip stain. I got the share raspberry which I love. This stain stains like do not get it where you do not want it. It will last you all day but you will want to reapply the clear lip glo...
Original Rose Benetint Pocket Pal Dual-Ended Longwear Lip Stain & Gloss - Benefit Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
I first got this color (Bold face Lilac) when I was playing Shelby in Steel Magnolias. It made a great blush and eyeshadow color and I love it again now as a featured dancer in Anything Goes
