Make Up & Styling

Large-scale shows or shows with period settings might have a hair and make-up team, who will plan and execute these elements. They will consult with the director and costume designer to decide what styling needs to be done for each actor, what products they will need to buy, and how they can achieve their designs in the given time before each show. Some shows will also require special elements such as prosthetics, wigs, or fake blood, which generally fall into the remit of these designers.
