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.
