Karaktersminksmink is a term that has emerged in recent years, particularly within online communities dedicated to performance art and creative expression. It refers to the practice of using makeup to transform one's appearance into that of a specific character, often a fictional one from popular culture, mythology, or an entirely original creation. This goes beyond simple costume makeup and involves a detailed, transformative application of cosmetics to alter facial features, skin texture, and overall aesthetic to embody the chosen character.

The focus is on the meticulous reconstruction of facial features and the creation of an entirely new persona through cosmetic means.
