Theatre Face Painting
Face painting designs and make-up in the theatre are one of the
primary ways open to the artist to help create the illusion of a
particular character. The face then helps the actor to become the character and helps the audience to believe the actor. A well made up face along with the costumes and set design and lighting, creates a powerful environment for the actor to perform.

Camouflage Face Painting
Since skin reflects light and this may draw
an enemy's attention. Face painting designs are
used to cover the skin that reflects light
because of the natural oil or sweat even
from dark skin.
Camouflage Face Paint
is used
thus to cover and camouflage the skin. Soldiers
mormaly apply the paint in teams or work with
a buddy in pairs to help each other. A two-three
color combination of paint is applied in an
irregular pattern. Shiny areas (forehead, cheekbones,
nose, ears, and chin) are painted with a dark,
color, and shadow areas (around the eyes, under
the nose, and under the chin) are painted with a
light color. In addition to the face, exposed skin
on the back of the neck, arms, and hands are also
painted. Palms of hands are not normally camouflaged
if arm-and-hand signals are to be used. The three
standard camouflage face paint sticks are: loam and
light green for all troops in areas with green
vegetation; sand and light green for all troops in
areas lacking green vegetation; and loam and white
for all troops in snow covered terrain.
