Makeup for Renaissance Festivals

Throughout the world the recreation of the Renaissance occurs on an annual basis at Renaissance Festivals and Faires. Each festival and faire differs in the year and the culture that they are enacting, they all have in common the magic to transport you back hundreds of years. The Renaissance Festivals and Faires are a whimsical walk through history surrounded by the chivalry of knights and the clowning of jesters. As patrons enter the Renaissance recreations they are greeted with a interactive cast of characters portraying a fairy tale version of the Renaissance with the emphasis on fun. Many Renaissance Festivals encourage patrons to join in the fantasy by dressing in period clothing and partaking in period food, drink and merriment.

As visitors wander through the recreated village that each festival or faire represents they encounter the various craftsmen, merchants, performers, inns keepers and royalty that was common during the period. These Festivals and Faires are staffed with modern day thespians who carry a visitor hundreds of years back in time as they turn themselves into interactive characters from the past who see the humour in the present.

Each Renaissance Village that is created has the obligatory King or Queen or both, jesters, knights, Shakespearean actors and wizards. In their period costumes and theatrical makeup they are able to transport patrons off to another time and place for a few hours.
