Description :Present article is described about the makeup and costumes at the time of play Kutiyattam. Traditionally the Nambiars (whose main role is playing the mizhavu) used to look after the costume and make-up aspects of Kutiyattam. Now that Kutiyattam too has come out of the strict confines of the temples, the make-up is now taken care of by a separate class of make-up artistes who are common to allied arts like Kathakali, etc.
