KHON Makeup Technique The art of KHON makeup for KHON is a perfect complement to this high form of performing art. It must not just be beautiful but also characteristically Thai.For makeup artists, applying the KHON makeup for KHON seems at first quite difficult, in particular making sure that the lines are symmetrical on both sides of the face. But after much patience and practice,the makeup artist gains an understanding of the art, and is able to apply the KHON makeup for the KHON performers in only a short time. Applying KHON makeup combines modern makeup techniques with the traditional. After covering blemishes,the base is carefully applied,made whiter and brighter so the colours and lines representing each character become more distinct,enhanced and beautiful. The stage makeup must also be fit with all elements of the performance, appropriate to the size of the stage and hall,to the intensity and colour of the lighting,and to the style, colour,and decoration of the costumes. All the artists and teachers of KHON and the makeup artists have joined together to develop these new techniques of KHON makeup in gratitude to the gracious support of the KHON and associated arts given by Her Majesty the Queen. -How many mirrors are there in this picture?

I count 12 mirrors...I think. Do you have any shots of the finished made up face? Interesting.
