Theatrical
The most ancient form of makeup is Theatrical makeup!
Oh yes, even before Drug Queen makeup there was the Theatre…
Back in the day of “Thoricos theatre”- even before “Epidavros”- only men was allowed to be actors. That meant they had to transform into a woman if the play had a female character.
In theatrical makeup we have to exaggerate the features of the face so the viewer can see clear from far away.
Long lasting makeup and speed are always welcome in theatre but don’t forget to follow the script!
