Actors and actresses in movies or plays also use make-up. This make-up is usually put on by a special make-up artist, whose job is to help the actor or actress transform into their character by using make-up that will turn them into a silly monster with a green face or a loving old granny with lots of wrinkles!

Real beauty

Now think about some of the things that make YOU a beautiful person! What are some of the things you do which make you good inside?
Make-up has been in different parts of the world for a very, very long time. It can include any number of products such as lipstick, blush, nail polish, and eye make-up that are made to “decorate” and sometimes cleanse or protect the face or body.
Grown-ups who use make-up do so because they want to, since they like the way it looks or feels – many people also do not like the way make-up looks or feels and chose not to wear it. Throughout history, make-up has been mostly used by women, however, men who want to use make-up or other cosmetic products can also buy and wear it if they would like!
People often think of make-up as something used to make a person look “prettier,” however, every person has to determine for him or herself what real beauty is. For some people, prettiness may involve make-up while for others it might not. The most important thing is that a person feels beautiful as his or herself, with or without make-up. All people have the ability to be beautiful from inside by being a good person, and no amount of make-up can ever change that!
