But when I went on the stage to do a show, I would put on makeup because I felt that it enhanced my act; it drew attention to what I was doing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I only wore makeup when I went onstage.
I find that putting my make-up on and playing with different looks is really relaxing for me before the show. It kind of helps me make that transition from 'mommy' to 'performer,' or star or whatever you want to call it!

Makeup is very important for a show. It's really an accessory on the runway. You have to be sure that it fits the clothes.
Perhaps not as badly applied and not as obvious, but for thousands of years, people have worn makeup on stage.
When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.
Pageant makeup is so different from your day-to-day look. When you're on stage you really have to pack it on.
I used to watch my mom put her makeup on for the stage, and it was one of the most special moments. I would sit quietly on the dressing room floor and watch her put her face on. I think she looks most beautiful in the morning when she wakes up with no makeup on... it's my favorite look on women.
It's one thing to read about how makeup is applied. It's another thing altogether to watch it being put on.
To me that's part of my working day, and I would never refuse a job where I'm under several hours of makeup, because as an actor, I enjoy performing. It's about the creation of the character and the art to me, not about being comfortable and how long it all takes.
