Use Theater Makeup To Dress Up In Halloween Costumes

By Susan West

While dressing up for Halloween or as other characters such as a clown, theater or stage makeup works wonders. You can change into a sweet princess or a hideous ghoul or anything in between when using theater makeup. Whatever character you want to dress up as, it is even more possible with theater makeup.

Halloween is such as fun holiday, since both children and adults can dress up as anything imaginable. Stage makeup can be used to make a cute little girl look like a fairy, or even a little boy look like the scariest vampire. Stage makeup can be used to create scars or wounds for those dressing up as zombies and goblins, or it can be used to put fake blood on a witch or other magical character. Stage makeup can make the young look old, the old look young, and the prettiest look like an ugly hag. Theater makeup is great to achieve almost any look for Halloween, and it is fun for all ages. http://www.costumecauldron.com/shop/halloween-costume/Game-Costumes-title0-p-1-c-555.html

Theater makeup is also great for school plays and other performances, since it can transform almost anybody into something completely different. Stage makeup can make a sweet little child look like a yellow daisy, red like an apple, or even like an adult. When children perform history plays in their classrooms, they can use stage makeup to add a beard, mustache, and even wrinkles to look older. Stage makeup can also make children look like fairly tale characters from their favorite movies and cartoons, so they can put on a play about a topic they love. Stage makeup is great for children to use for their school plays, since they can transform into almost anything.

Sometimes theatrical makeup is also called "clown makeup." Basically since the image of a clown immediately conjures a white face with distinctive eyes and mouth. Every day makeup could never duplicate this look, which is why the term "clown makeup" was created. If you visit a costume shop and can't find the makeup you are looking for ask for clown or theatrical makeup. The owner will know exactly what you need.

Theater makeup works for adding additional characteristics to almost any character, such as pointed ears or fake wounds. The theater makeup helps to blend the prosthetic parts onto the face and other parts of the body, making them look much more realistic than if they didn't have any makeup. Moles can be added for a witch costume, and funny ears can be applied for fairy or elf costumes. The theater makeup can also add additional effects to the latex prosthetic pieces, such as adding fake blood or pus by using different colors.

You can brighten things up a bit, at sports games while painting your face with your team colors if you have any Halloween makeup hidden away in your cabinets or makeup drawer. There is no better way to show your team spirit while cheering on your favorite sports team while wearing Halloween clown or stage makeup. http://www.costumecauldron.com/Kids-Skeleton-Ghost-Costumes.html

When using theater makeup, it is possible to transform any actor into a fantasy character. Theater makeup works great for children's plays and performances, as well as Halloween costumes. Children entertainers such as clowns and mimes also frequently use stage makeup, which makes it possible to entertain kids in disguise. Theater makeup is a must have for holidays as well as school events, and all parents should have some on hand in case they need to transform their child into a princess or goblin.
