Face and body painting has a lot of meaning in some cultures. While face paintings these days are seen more as a way to express your creativity, in the old days, they were used to mark an occasion. For example, in the Paleolithic period, face paint was used as a part of an important ritual, like celebrating adulthood or mourning a loss of a family member or friend. As time went on, it was used for entertainment or as camouflage.
