'''Make-up''' is a cosmetic substance applied to the [[face]] in order to improve the appearance of one's features. In western culture, it is most commonly used by [[women]] and [[girls]], and in the worlds of [[television]] and the [[theater]] to improve men's and women's appearance on [[camera]] or under the stage lights. Some men also choose to wear make-up day to day or on special occasions, usually in an effort to look strikingly different and surprise others with their appearance; this was popularised by musicians such as [[David Bowie]] and [[Robert Smith]].
Just about every facial feature has one or more make-up products intended for it:
* [[Eye]]s - mascara and eye shadow.
* [[Lip]]s - lipstick.
* [[Cheek]]s - rouge or blusher.
* General [[skin]] - foundation and powder.
* [[Spot]]s, [[blemish]]es and [[pimple]]s - concealer.
In ancient tribal cultures, make-up had other purposes. For example, the [[Pict]]s of old [[Scotland]] used to coat their entire bodies in blue [[woad]] in order to strike terror into the [[heart]]s of their enemies. The [[Roman]] army was never able to conquer [[Scotland]], instead building a [[Hadrian's Wall|wall]] that stands to this day to keep the Picts at bay.
