Abstract
Theatrical makeup is the process of transforming an actor into a character using specially crafted materials and specific techniques in a play staged. Theatrical makeup work is carried out by applying light, shadow, lines and colours on the actor’s face with specific techniques as well as affixing, where necessary, attachments to the actor’s face or body, such as prosthetic parts or false beard and moustache. Considering that actors predominantly use their facial expressions in addition to their speaking and body language to convey to the audience their emotions and how their situation affects them, the theatrical makeup achieves its objective of strengthening the expression is among the determinative details of the visuality of design. In the present study, an interview form was developed to obtain the views of actors in the State Theatres on theatrical makeup and the views and comments of actors in Ankara State Theatre on the subject are assessed.
