The concept of make-up refers to the act and the result of putting on make-up or make-up: that is, using cosmetic products to change the appearance or beautify the face or another part of the body. Makeup is used by humans to hide imperfections or highlight certain features. It is common to apply it to the eyelids, lips and cheeks, among other places. Many people, especially women, wear makeup before attending social gatherings. With this practice, known as social makeup, the intention is to look your best. One of the objectives of those who use this type of product is to hide certain imperfections or scars. In the first group are birthmarks, skin spots and moles; the second covers all those consequences that acne leaves, as well as various accidents that damage the skin directly. Makeup is also used in theater, film and television. Due to the lights used in these areas, highlights can be produced that distort the features, something that is corrected with makeup. Makeup can even contribute to the incarnation of different characters.
