Theatrical makeup is a special kind of makeup that people use when they are performing in plays or movies. It is different from the regular makeup that people wear every day because it can change the way a person looks by making them look older, younger, scarier or even like an animal. There are many different kinds of theatrical makeup, like cream makeup or greasepaint, which are thick and can be put on with sponges or brushes. Some people even use special effects makeup to create really cool and scary looks like fake blood or wounds. Theatrical makeup is important because it helps the actors become their characters and tell their stories better.
