On Halloween night, regular 'ol everyday makeup is just not going to do! Time to break out the hard stuff; theatrical makeup. With a dab of this and a dash of that, theatrical makeup can transform you into whomever, or whatever you want to be. Not too mention those characters that require much face makeup, such as clowns and mimes. A person would be hard pressed to create the striking clown look without the use of theatrical makeup.

When creating the perfect ghost or goblin, don't think that stage makeup is regulated to just adults. Both young and old can benefit. Your little fairy needs touches of dust here and there. Or, little Johnny's zombie costume would be quite sad without the empty, white faced stare. Oh, and what little boy, or big boy for that matter, can resist making a fake scar or drizzling fake blood with theatrical makeup? That's the beauty of the stuff, it is not just versatile, but fun!

We've all been to a school play or two, and what is cuter than seeing your little "apple," or "banana" trying to remember the choreography to that aggressive 2nd Grade number? Well, without the help of theatrical makeup, the extra details that put it all together would be sorely missed. Stage makeup is an essential for grade schools. How else could Mrs. M make Johnny a convincing Abe Lincoln, complete with wrinkles and top hat? Theatrical makeup can basically make you into whatever you want. It is a valuable teaching tool.

Clowns and mimes can also use clown makeup to complete their look, and really give the kids something to laugh at. Mime performers can use clown makeup to paint their entire face white, and then use different colors to add shapes and designs around their mouth and eyes. Clowns and mimes are great to have at birthday parties and other events, and their bright and entertaining stage makeup will make it much more enjoyable for the children.

There are times when theatre makeup is just not enough when you need to create a specific effect. The use of molds or pliable latex can be blended with stage makeup. If Pinocchio only had theatre makeup to create his long nose, we could either be waiting a long time, or an even longer time. In order to create the desired length, which is also seen by the audience, fake latex must be attached. However, a Pinocchio without a long nose is just as unconvincing as a Pinocchio with a peeling nose. After securely attaching the latex nose, simply blend the edges with matching theatrical makeup. Ta-da! Theatre Success!

Once you have stage makeup you'll be surprised how often you really can use it. Fan of any particular sports team? Every wanted to be an "A"? Get out the appropriate color and get to painting! If it's too cold to go shirtless, simply paint your face. What better way to introduce little Johnny and Suzy to the world of athletics, but with a little team spirit?

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.
