Cirque du Soleil makeup...TECHNIQUES!?

For my theater makeup class in college, I have been fasinated by the Cirque du Soleil makeup, colors and consistancy of the brilliance on each actors face. Does anyone know (maybe a makeup artist with experience) if this is airbrushed, or grease paint or what kind of make up this is? Do the actors apply it themselves (i would imagine this to be so due to the high density of people involved in the show)?...please, any information on this would be really appreciated to satisfy my curiousity! Thanks!!Cirque du Soleil makeup...TECHNIQUES!?
Here is a link to the Press Room for Cirque du Soleil. There is an article about their makeup artist and makeup techniques.

Most of the performers are required to do their own makeup so I doubt that they are airbrush techniques.





Many professional circus performers use products from the Mehron line.





For clowns, Mehron has lines specifically developed for Whiteface, Auguste, and Tramp clowns. These were developed for Ringling Bros.Cirque du Soleil makeup...TECHNIQUES!?
