The foundation or "base" chosen by an actor sets the tone for every live theatre, big screen of video performance. Our Creme Foundation series offers a broad color palette, silky consistency and intense pigmentation for today's lighting and demands. Professional and college costume designers recommend Ben Nye in every stage setting from opera to children's theatre. Bases blend effortlessly with Creme Rouge Highlights, Shadows and Lining Colors. Our series codes are easy to follow. With the exception of Proscenium and Bright Colors, shades deepen as Series' numbers ascend. FYI: Ben Nye has always offered the open cosmetic package because its contents are completely accessible. Apply with latex sponge. |
