Music Man Hairstyle Suggestions?

I am playing the part of Zaneeta Shinn in my school's production of Meredith Wilson's ';The Music Man';. My director informed me that I will be responsible for my own hair-do, and possibly makeup. I need suggestions for the best way to fix my hair. I have medium-long straight red hair, which will hold a curl for only a short amount of time and with much coaxing from the hairspray and curling iron. Makeup-wise, I am fair-skinned with freckles. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!Music Man Hairstyle Suggestions?
That's the daughter, right? i would do pig tails with curls if you can. As for makeup, freckles are perfect! maybe a little eyeliner and a little heavier on the mascara. i wouldn't use foundation, but try some blush, it's perfect for the ';EEEEE GODS!'; : )Music Man Hairstyle Suggestions?
To set your hair you might try wearing scrunchies in your hair at night to get it to get it to curl up. There are also these great styling things called ';spoolies'; if you can find them. And as far as a heat styling tool, you can use hot sticks (those can be found at your local beauty store). Though it sounds like putting your hair in ponytails and then doubling the ponytail over and wrapping the scrunchie over again will be best to get you some longer-lasting curl. Also consider leaving your hair dirty for a day and see if that, with some hairspray, will help keep your hair curled.





On makeup: When you are under stage lights, you will always need to wear foundation. Use loose translucent powder (no sparkles) to set your foundation. Find a foundation and powder appropriate for your skin tone/color and your specific skin type (if you're oily, use an oil-free foundation and powder, etc...). You'll need eyeliner (think natural but heavier for stage - don't over do it), black mascara (do a good job on the upper lashes, especially to the outer corners of the eye and do a little on the outer corners of the lower lashes). Blush should be heavier than 'natural' but again, don't over-do it. Lipstick should enhance your natural lip color and should not be sparkly or overly shiny. Your dress rehearsal will be a great place to find out if your makeup can be seen.





Have a fabulous show!
