How do I make myself look like a boy for Peter Pan?

I’m playing Peter Pan at my high school, and I need some help. I’m not very busty, so just wearing a sports bra works, but I have very defined feminine facial features. I know I have to apply shadows and highlights and such, but I’m not really sure how.

Well, first of all you need to put your hair up and of course the hat. Take some shorter hair out and make it look very messy.

I would make the whole face look kinda tan, maybe with bronze. Also, apply some black or brown underneath the eyes and accent the eyebrows!
Oh and I would stay away from any lip gloss!

I found this picture and I think this makeup looks great:

    I definitely agree with Isa. If you don’t mind cutting your hair really short, you could get a more masculine form of a pixie cut, and that way you wouldn’t have to worry about getting your hair under a hat. I met a girl that even went to a male barber’s shop to get her hair cut for Peter Pan, and her director loved it. The only challenge with having really short for the role would be securing your hat, but I’m sure there are some creative ways of doing that (I just can’t think of any off the top of my head. As for the makeup, just play around with makeup and pictures online. Take pictures of each finished product so that you can compare them later, show them to your director to see which face he or she prefers, and then refer to that picture when you’re applying your makeup for rehearsals and performances.

    Congrats, and break a leg!
