Limited is a full service theatrical equipment supplier specialising in the performing
arts for school, church and theatre customers throughout New Zealand.
Adena is
a leading supplier of stage, dance, TV and theatre makeup products to performing
arts and education customers, including Musical and Drama Theatre groups,
Schools and Churches throughout New Zealand. We
are pleased to offer an extensive range of top quality Mehron, Ben Nye and Kryolan
stage makeup products to our customers. Stage makeup is essential both for character
makeup such as aging effects and fantasy characters like monsters. It is also
necessary to makeup all performers, even those who do not need special character
effects, so that they can be properly seen by the audience. Street makeup is not
suitable for stage use, its pigments are easily washed out by the powerful stage
lighting. You can use stage makeup on the street, and many performers do, just
apply it a little more sparingly than you would for stage use.
Make
sure you maintain good hygene procedures like keeping your brushes and sponges
clean, and never share your makeup with other performers, each performer should
have their own personal makeup kit.
