When I perform or have work, I get my makeup done by an artist.
I wore white kabuki makeup, had blue-black hair. At one point, I shaved an inch and a half around my hairline and continued the white makeup up so it made my head look slightly deformed. I thought it was hilarious.
During the day, I don't wear much makeup; I only put on makeup for the show.
Pageant makeup is so different from your day-to-day look. When you're on stage you really have to pack it on.
Perhaps not as badly applied and not as obvious, but for thousands of years, people have worn makeup on stage.
Even in the days when they did Othello, you didn't necessarily have to be black to play Othello. You wore the makeup.
The make up took about an hour to put on, but the wig was a thing that bothered me more than anything else.
My band and I, we cover our bodies in hairspray and glitter. We use the hairspray to make sure the glitter sticks.
