This job requires very little time during the semester (maybe one afternoon to do inventory and look through the make-up and a few hours in discussion with actors/directors/designers about what is needed) until about 2 weeks before the show. Then lots of little 1-2 hour blocks a week (you go out and buy make-up, then other people tell you what they need, so you go out and buy that, then someone else gets back to you and you go get that, then it gets used up opening night, so you go and buy more, etc.). You will also need to be able to be at every dress rehearsal during tech week to apply makeup to the actors and to teach them how to apply it themselves. If there is extremely complicated hair and makeup schemes, you might need to be at every performance to apply hair and makeup yourself.
