Today, I woke up with a giant red rash all over my face, so puffed up that I could hardly open my eyes. The doctor said it was probably from some of the compounds found in most makeup. I'm just getting into theatre and have auditions coming up. FML

Look for a revival of "The Elephant Man."

I once saw a movie called, "elephantiasis of the nuts" I know they are always looking for those kinds of actors.

#47, that was a whole movie? I don't think I could bear to see the plot twists.

Stage makeup sucks. Get ready for break outs and oily skin.

Go for set design or lighting. If you really want to make it in theater, you'd probably have a better chance behind the scenes. I don't know if there's such a thing as a "fluff guy," but if that's the only way to get into show biz, you may want to get into insurance or panhandling.

Perdix, there are always other ways to get into show biz, regardless of any hinderance, and without having to be the "fluff" person.

I was pretty sure the fluff guy was strictly **** industry.

That's not how theater works. You can't just say "Well, I can't make a career as an actor so I'll go into set or lighting design instead." Acting and designing require two different skill sets. They also both require a certain amount of natural talent in their respective areas. I've seen actors try to be designers and designers try to be actors and 99 times out of a hundred, it doesn't work. Yes, there are people who can do both but it's rare. That said, I started out as an actor/singer/dancer (I wasn't that great, but I didn't know that). When I blew out my knee in high school I decided to try designing so I could stay in the theater program and discovered where my true talent lay. But switching when you're already at the professional level is almost impossible.

Also, you forgot costumes. Costume design is important too!

But the show must go on!! Look for makeup that contain no such compounds. Hard to find but they're out there.

1. don't use cheap makeup 2. don't wear it when you don't have to 3. invest in an EXCELLENT makeup remover (I recommend any by Lancôme) 4. throw out any old products 5. wash your brushes

Not all make up will give you a reaction.. Try something different and hopefully it won't have an effect.

Now you're ready to be a natural performer in the most unadulterated sense. Just ask Shakespeare himself! Caliban, Richard III, The Macbeth Witches - with such a convincingly hideous face, you'll never need an ounce of make-up again!
