Modern makeup! Modern theatrical makeup has come along way from the dubious chemicals and rough techniques of its early usage. A true art form, modern dramatic makeup looks range from makeup that is realistic looking, albeit much heavier than standard cosmetic application, to highly unusual characterization, animal, period, Special Effects, and avant grade makeup looks. The ingredients in today's stage cosmetics are also safe for the skin rather than containing the toxic or questionable compounds. Work sighted : History_of_Theatre_Makeup
