I think the main way to create the casts looks on stage is by using face paint, as there are many colours to use and can be made just adding water. If I find the cheapest price of bulk buying, and also figure out what colours would be used for each character.

I think this glitter face paint would look good for characters such as Electra. I could buy one colour to test it out as I would like to see first how it would look under the lights

As we will probably need a lot of face paint, this kit would be useful and could save us money if this is cheaper than buying individually. It comes with a lot of colours and other makeup equipment.

This is another face painting kit which I have found; it is based in the UK and has free delivery for the UK. I can keep an eye out on the website for when this item comes back in stock. The kit comes with very vibrant colours and seems very professional. It covers the colours I have in mind for the characters to use fir their makeup, if needed I can also purchase extra colours.

They also sell these ‘one stroke colour cakes’ face paint which can make a very nice striped colour effect, I could possibly use for some of the groups of carriages to group some characters together, such as the Hip Hoppers.

They also sell kits for these one stroke colour cakes, which come with very nice range of colours.

As well as using water based facepaint, there is a possibility that it could rub off under the stage lights and sweating. Grease paint could also be used, it has very good coverage and good for bright colour effects. This palette comes with many colours and would be handy to have within the makeup kit for starlight, and would probably need more than just this kit as we have a big cast.

This face painting website provides face painting kits for professional use, including all you would need. This is the largest face paint kit they sell for £297.00. As the kit is quite big I think it would cover the whole cast’s makeup.

I have also found this website which sells a huge kit of large face paint pots in a huge range of bright vibrant colours. I we purchased this I would still need to get extra equipment, and may need to buy multiple of the same colour.

We will also need a huge range of makeup brushes, for the details on the makeup we will need a range of different sized makeup brushes; this is a kit which provides many different brushes. This could be a good start to buy this kit and after a few practises of the initial makeup design start to buy more brushes which would be more useful to creating the design. We would need many of these, as they will need to be distributed throughout the makeup team.
