Question

Which of the following has its application in theatrical make-up ?

• A. Flexible collodion
• B. Non-flexible collodion
• C. mixture of A and B
• D. None

Answer 1

The correct option is B Non-flexible collodion

There are two basic types: flexible; non-flexible. The flexible type is often used as a surgical dressing or to hold dressings in place. When painted on the skin, collodion dries to form a flexible nitrocellulose film. While it is initially colorless, it discolors over time. Non-flexible collodion is often used in theatrical make-up. It is used for special male-up effects for stage and screen.
