Does your mom have any foundation? If so you can layer that on or see what other make up she might have that would work.

Above and beyond that I would not worry about actually looking orange. Part of the magic of theatre is that the audience believes what you tell them. If you think your are dying because your turning orange the audience will go with you on that.

Also I have actually seen someone who had this ailment and the shade of orange that you turn is subtle it is like your skin has a slight orange tint a bit like if you applied too much self tanner. It is far from severe so don't worry too much and have a great show!

Well, I was going to suggest a bottle of self-tan, but you said you didn't have any cash...

umm... orange jello?

Niceee...I saw something like that on an old episode of 'The Magic Schoolbus.'

use heavy tanning oil
use a marker
use makeup on the visible parts of your body during the play

that stinks, hope this helps, the marker is joke. Please, dont do that. :)

makeup
do you have anything in an orange shade
lipstick would usually be very good
just kinda spread it around your face

drink LOTZ of carrot juice

If you're in a play, then they should have provided the stuff or told you what to get ahead of time.

This is probably the make-up artist's job

Possibly a bottle of crummy self tan or some orange-esque cheese powder. xD

That or just pretend. Hey, you're an actress. You can do that.

if possible get cover up or foundation if you can't obtain stage makeup and get a totally off shade. that should work. if not hmm....maybe spices? like pumpkin spice you could rub on your skin or like that taco bell seasoning stuff you put in ground meat to make tacos at home. that stuff is kind of orange. if those don't work possibly wet orange crepe paper and rub the dye off on your skin or orange food coloring or mix red and yellow food coloring. good luck.

jam ?
marmalade ?

well, the first step would be stopping insulting other people's questions and using them to post a link to your own question.

tons of bronzer would totally work. just use a very concentrated bristled brush, and apply tons of layers. self tanner would also work! to get a natural look, you are supposed to mix it with moisturizer, so just dont mix it! apply lots, same as the bronzer. now thinking about it, if you are in a play, the audience probably wouldn't be able to see the bronzer, so go for the self tanner. or, if both of these fail, just use orange or brown with an orange tint eyeshadow. hope this helps! good luck, and break a leg!

You could use spray on bronzers if you have it at home. Or really orange foundation..

Use a TON of bronzer all over yourself.

ur whole body to go orange? or just ur hands and face?... well you can put tons of orangy blush or foundation,lipstick or somethin', just open its thing and make it pour out powder______orange clothes?______i think paint is the best idea, just get it from anywhere, oh maybe face paint!!
