Q&A for How to Do Stage Makeup on Kids

Yes, thin layers of makeup are best for kids.

Well, kids are humans too, so of course, it is really necessary! Definitely keep your child's ideas and wants in mind.

To do smokey eye on a child first apply a light shade of eye shadow all over the eyelid. Next, blend a medium shade of grey around their eye like eyeliner. Less is more! If you add too much eye shadow, they may look like a raccoon.

Not generally, but in special cases like stage makeup, yes.

Because their skin is sensitive at this time, so it is best to not let them wear it so it doesn't negatively affect their skin.

You should only do your child's eyebrows if your child wants them done. If your child has bad eyebrows and feels insecure about them, then doing their eyebrows could make them feel better about themselves.

You can just buy it in a shop or online! You have to trust your instincts.

You don't have to wear it.

Get some eyelash glue. Using a tweezer, hold the eyelash in the tweezer. Then, put a little bit of glue on the fake eyelash. Blow on it so it's a bit dry, but not too dry. Align it on the real eyelashes and press down.

As long as the makeup kit includes everything you need, it's perfectly fine to use a smaller makeup kit. The makeup you use doesn't have to be high quality makeup either.

Technically, foundation is bad for all skin because it clogs pores which causes breakouts, but if remove the foundation at the end of the day and wash your face, you should be fine.

You can try using lip tint. It will take a minute to dry and will taste bad for about a minute after that, but it won't rub off for a while and you can't "eat" it once it's dry. You could also try using a popsicle and rubbing it on their lips to color them. That's definitely edible!

You could use false lashes if you want to, but I think they're messy and hard to apply.

Halloween and party stores do carry SFX makeup products for cheap, but I would be careful. The liquid latex contains ammonia (more than ones you'd find online) and the smell of those in particular is so strong that it could burn your eyes. Find scar wax. It's less messy, you don't have any chance of an allergic reaction, and it doesn't have a scent.

There is a small chance the makeup could cause minor irritation or an allergic reaction, but this is rare.

Yes, but they'll probably need help putting it on.

Use very light makeup. Bright color, false lashes, lipstick, too much blush, and bronzer will make her look older. Try using light, natural eye shadow, one thin coat of mascara, a peach or neutral blush, a light amount of foundation, and lip gloss.

You can put shadow on the lower lash line, but not everyone does it. I like it because it makes it look more complete.

I would say to skip the lipstick, blush, eye shadow, and mascara. But otherwise, it's the same.

It depends how bad. If it is one or two spots, put some rash cream on it and keep an eye on her. If she has red blotchy hives, swelling where the makeup was, or is talking with a lisp (if lipstick was applied), then seek medical help as soon as possible.

Yes, but also water should remove face paint without needing makeup remover.

Because this tutorial could be interpreted multiple ways, there is no sure answer. However, looking up 'stage makeup on kids' or images of children on shows like Dance Moms could be helpful.

That should work completely fine! Whatever is best for you or your child's skin.

You can use face paint, concealer or anything similar to that. Just make sure whatever you use won't irritate the child's skin.
