The Magic of Theatre Makeup

Theatre makeup is an art form that transforms actors into their characters. Makeup artists use a variety of techniques and products to create different looks, from realistic facial features to fantastical creatures. The use of color, contouring, and prosthetics can completely change an actor's appearance, bringing the character to life on stage.

It's a creative and technical skill that requires a lot of talent and training.
