Theatrical makeup is a specialized form of makeup used in performances to enhance or alter an actor's appearance. It helps convey characters' emotions and traits, making them more believable on stage. This type of makeup often includes bold colors and heavy applications to ensure visibility under bright stage lights. Artists use various products, such as foundation, eyeshadow, and lipstick, to create different looks. Techniques may involve contouring to define facial features or using face paint for fantasy characters. The goal is to ensure that the audience can see the character's expressions and personality from a distance.
