Got a new topic to bring up in my Teams call today with someone I haven't seen for 25 years.
In the panto we did in 1996, she was cast as an Asian lecturer, and I'd completely forgotten that she blacked up for the role. I have a photo.

Is "browned-up" a phrase?
I would have used that but I wasn't sure. In any case, she was pretty black.

Is it OK to black up this child now that she's 48 years old?
