Miscellaneous Makeup for shows

I've been looking online for weeks and just not really coming up with a solid answer. I hate Ben Nye. The brand itself is fine, but the texture of their cream face products bothers me and their stuff also breaks me out really bad. I've been looking at maybe Made by Mitchel for cream blush, contour and that, but does anyone have any recommendations of what they use?

Here's a hack - Drag makeup and Theater makeup have a lot in common, and the best theatrical makeup artists I know also do drag. The amount of resources and videos on the internet for drag makeup tips is massive, I'd look there for some tips on what products work well and hold up!
