The Techniques of Theatrical Makeup Before 1920, Costume Con 26, San Jose, 2008, Presentation by Tara Maginnis

Photo of Tara Maginnis demonstrating the application of Stage Makeup (for an elderly Drunk) using the powdered pigment technique used by many actors through the 1870s on an audience volunteer.   This type of makeup was common in Gas Lit Theatres, but was already being replaced with greasepaint when the first book on stage makeup (describing this process) was written in the 1870s.
