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.
When creating the perfect ghost or goblin, don't think that stage makeup is regulated to just adults. Both young and old can benefit. Your little fairy needs touches of dust here and there. Or, little Johnny's zombie costume would be quite sad without the empty, white faced stare. Oh, and what little boy, or big boy for that matter, can resist making a fake scar or drizzling fake blood with theatrical makeup? That's the beauty of the stuff, it is not just versatile, but fun!
We've all been to a school play or two, and what is cuter than seeing your little "apple," or "banana" trying to remember the choreography to that aggressive 2nd Grade number? Well, without the help of theatrical makeup, the extra details that put it all together would be sorely missed. Stage makeup is an essential for grade schools. How else could Mrs. M make Johnny a convincing Abe Lincoln, complete with wrinkles and top hat? Theatrical makeup can basically make you into whatever you want. It is a valuable teaching tool.
Sometimes theatrical makeup is also called "clown makeup." Basically since the image of a clown immediately conjures a white face with distinctive eyes and mouth. Every day makeup could never duplicate this look, which is why the term "clown makeup" was created. If you visit a costume shop and can't find the makeup you are looking for ask for clown or theatrical makeup. The owner will know exactly what you need.
There are times when theatre makeup is just not enough when you need to create a specific effect. The use of molds or pliable latex can be blended with stage makeup. If Pinocchio only had theatre makeup to create his long nose, we could either be waiting a long time, or an even longer time. In order to create the desired length, which is also seen by the audience, fake latex must be attached. However, a Pinocchio without a long nose is just as unconvincing as a Pinocchio with a peeling nose. After securely attaching the latex nose, simply blend the edges with matching theatrical makeup. Ta-da! Theatre Success!
You can brighten things up a bit, at sports games while painting your face with your team colors if you have any Halloween makeup hidden away in your cabinets or makeup drawer. There is no better way to show your team spirit while cheering on your favorite sports team while wearing Halloween clown or stage makeup.
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.
