Due to being in my first show this week I had to wear green, white and brown stage make-up. I can get most of it off, but my face is left with green stains. Is there any way of getting rid of these green stains before tomorrow?

cold cream? That's what we always used for stage makeup.
It ain't easy being green....

I have sent parents out to get some cold cream.

I was in a show a few weeks back, "The Wiz" (Modern version of the Wizard of Oz).

I was the lion, hence, I needed to wear lots of make-up...a layer of orange mixed with white, black eyes, more layers, more black etc.

Every night it was horrible trying to get it all off, and I had to go into school with my face a strange shade of orange (looked like I had been abusing the sunbeds), and black eyes.

The cold cream stuff should be good, my drama teacher has a great tub of make-up remover/cream, it's fantastic, but unfortunately I didn't manage to get a tub.

The cold cream works- thanks Fen!!

I am a normal pinky colour now. No need to change my name to Kermit.

Hooray!
Blimey that takes me back in time... glad to hear you're looking normal again!

Lol, that reminds me of last year when they did west side story at college and all the sharks had to bright orange! (I was not in the cast last year-wooo)

I played Glenda the good witch in a Christmas panto of "The Wizard of Oz" a few years ago (3 maybe?). The amount of glitter that was on me, not just on my face but my arms too, was ridiculous! It took ages to get it all off!! Even after I thought it was all off I kept finding more!!

Argh!
