stage makeup

Stage makeup is specialized cosmetic application designed to enhance an actor’s features under strong stage lighting, ensuring expressive visibility from a distance. It often involves bold colors, contouring, and base tones to define facial structures and convey character traits effectively. The makeup must be durable enough to withstand heat, sweat, and long performances, often using products like grease paints, QC powders, and prosthetics. Proper application enhances visibility and character portrayal, helping actors embody their roles convincingly to the audience.
