Theatrical Makeup
•
Theatrical makeup can be
successfully worn on or off stage.
But it has special properties: It is
highly pigmented so the color
doesn’t wash out under bright
stage lights. It can hold up under
lots of activity since stage life is
rigorous.For intimate theater,
theatrical makeup is applied to
look more normal, but still must
maintain its intensity. For large
theater, it is applied so facial
expressions will be seen to the
back row.
