Make Your Performance Shine with a Ben Nye Makeup Kit
If your first love is acting then you already know the power of makeup. Whether the goal is to lessen the glare of the stage lights, add age to a character, or give the bloody effects of maim or monster, makeup has always played a major role in the development of a character or scene. When you begin to learn the art of acting one of the first names you’ll probably hear is Ben Nye, the legendary makeup artist who went on to create his own makeup line. No actor’s wardrobe is complete without at least one Ben Nye makeup kit.
Ben Nye was renowned throughout Hollywood for his craft with makeup and worked on many classics, including Gone with the Wind, The Sound of Music, The King and I, and The Planet of the Apes. As makeup director for Twentieth Century Fox his Hollywood career spanned four decades until he left in the early eighties to concentrate on his makeup company, which is now in charge of his son. Founded in 1967, the Ben Nye Makeup Company focuses on quality, and is built around the innovative Makeup Techniques invented by its founder. Used by the most famous makeup artists in the industry, no actor should be without at least one Ben Nye makeup kit to achieve the special effects needed when trying out for a part.
Ben Nye makeup kits come in a variety of collections, some of which are designed for specific situations such as creating realistic injuries. Each kit is designed to combine superior quality with affordable pricing, allowing a perfect fit for stage and camera as well as choral groups and dance recitals. For example, the Ben Nye Makeup Kit for Students offers a crème foundation that is highly pigmented yet designed to withstand the heat from lighting and high intensity performances. The foundation is complemented with a contour palette of highlight, rouge, shadow, and lip color to allow each student a basic personal kit without worry of contamination.
Other Ben Nye makeup kits are available for specific acting needs, such as a personalized kit that allows the actor to choose from eight different skin tone foundation colors to perfectly match their complexion, theatrical cake makeup, and kits for the gruesome but oft-needed scenarios such as a wound makeup kit when you find the need for a scar, burn, wound, or other simulated injury; the Ben Nye makeup kit for professional moulage contains everything you’ll need to create a mass-casualty scenario such as in a war or disaster scene.
In conclusion, if you’re a fledgling actor that needs to start a Professional Makeup collection your best bet is to invest in a Ben Nye makeup kit. Considered the best in the business, with Ben Nye makeup you can be confident that you’ll look your best at every performance.
