Theater Makeup For The Stage And Halloween Costume Fun

by Susan West

While dressing up for Halloween or as other characters such as a clown, theater or stage makeup works wonders. You can change into a sweet princess or a hideous ghoul or anything in between when using theater makeup. Whatever character you want to dress up as, it is even more possible with theater makeup.

Halloween is such as fun holiday, since both children and adults can dress up as anything imaginable. Stage makeup can be used to make a cute little girl look like a fairy, or even a little boy look like the scariest vampire. Stage makeup can be used to create scars or wounds for those dressing up as zombies and goblins, or it can be used to put fake blood on a witch or other magical character. Stage makeup can make the young look old, the old look young, and the prettiest look like an ugly hag. Theater makeup is great to achieve almost any look for Halloween, and it is fun for all ages.

Since theater, makeup can transform anyone into something very different; it is good for school plays and other performances. The use of stage makeup can alter a child or adult into a yellow daisy or a red apple. While performing in classroom history plays a child can use stage makeup to add wrinkles, a beard or mustache to appear older. Children can enact as any favorite cartoon, movie or fairy tale character while putting on a play and using stage makeup. Since stage makeup is easy to use, a child can transform into almost anything for a school play.

Mimes and clowns make use of Halloween clown makeup to complete their appearance, which really offers the children some good laughs. Mime performers, while painting their entire face white and then adding various colors in different designs and shapes around the eyes and mouth often use clown makeup. Children are thoroughly entertained at birthday parties and other events by clowns and mimes in their colorful stage makeup.

Theater makeup can add additional characteristics to a character such as fake wounds and pointed ears. Theater makeup can aid in blending in a prosthetic prop onto the face and body, giving them a more realistic appearance. For instance, you can add a mole to a costume of a witch, or you can add comical ears to elf and fairy costumes. Theater makeup is also useful for adding additional effects to a latex prosthetic piece, such as with pus or blood by blending different colors.

If you have some Halloween makeup stashed away in your bathroom cabinet, bring it out for sports games and paint those crazy colors on your face to liven things up a bit. What better way to show your team spirit and cheer for who you really want to win than with sports makeup at the sporting event.

When using theater makeup, it is possible to transform any actor into a fantasy character. Theater makeup works great for children’s plays and performances, as well as Halloween costumes. Children entertainers such as clowns and mimes also frequently use stage makeup, which makes it possible to entertain kids in disguise. Theater makeup is a must have for holidays as well as school events, and all parents should have some on hand in case they need to transform their child into a princess or goblin.
