After that she applies a powder that keeps in the paint in place. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat keeps it pretty still. It comes off in a few places. A certain gentleman might get it on his face occasionally when we kiss but it stays pretty set because of the powder,\u201d Brummel said.<\/p>\n<p>During the month-long stop in Birmingham Brummel and McGilberry will go through about 25 packs of green paint and countless packs of powder, but being green provides some other makeup challenges. Instead of using pink for blush, McGilberry uses purple. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe green will give the appearance of flattening out the face so we use the purple to lift her cheekbones,\u201d McGilberry said.<\/p>\n<p>Brummel and McGilberry said all of the hard prep work pays off when the audience gets to see the final product on stage. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can&#8217;t imagine doing this role without the green. I don&#8217;t think it would be the same,\u201d Brummel said.<\/p>\n<p>As for getting the green paint off, Brummel says it takes about 10 minutes to scrub it off.  She has a shower in her dressing room so she can wash it off before she leaves the BJCC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Buy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wickedthemusicalticketsonline.com\/wicked-birmingham-al-tickets.html\">Wicked Birmingham AL Tickets<\/a> today.<\/strong> Get $10 OFF on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wickedthemusicalticketsonline.com\/wicked-bjcc-concert-hall.html\">Wicked Bjcc Concert Hall Ticket<\/a> Orders over $350!
