What is the difference between home makeup and movie makeup?

Is the same makeup that I wear everyday the same type of makeup that they use on stage for performances?

Great answer below.

The main difference is the amount used (Although people are generally wearing more make up these days then ever).

There is a increased volume of make up used mainly because of the intensity of the lighting in studio and theatre environments. The strength of the light especially on TV is very unforgiving revealing skin blemishes and magnifying them.

Generally the type of makeup that is used on tv and movie sets is a bit different than the makeup you wear on a daily basis. However, this differs depending on the set you are talking about. Often times, makeup has more to do with budget than coverage because if you are a professional, you can work with a multitude of makeup and get the results you need.

The difference between the makeup that is worn on television and movies is more about the quantity than the quality of the makeup being used. When applying makeup for screen, it is important that the lighting be taken into consideration. This is where techniques such as shading and contouring come into play. If you were going to work you most likely wouldn’t use these techniques.

The same idea goes for on stage performers as well. Often times they use products that may be waterproof as well so when they sweat while they’re performing their makeup doesn’t run. Waterproof makeup tends to be heavier than regular makeup that is water-based.
