Things We Love
People are always asking what we use backstage, for costumes, makeup, props and general chaos.
This page is where we keep links to things we genuinely use and love.

Makeup & Stage Faces
NYX Epic Ink Liner (Black)
This is our absolute backstage holy grail for showgirl makeup.
It is proper black - as black as Vicky’s heart (apparently), and it stays put under hot lights, sweat, and general panto mayhem.
The brush tip makes it easy to get a sharp wing even when you are doing it in a dressing-room panic with the Stage Manger shouting “five minutes”.
We’ve tried loads.
We always come back to this.
