Definition
装扮 (zhuāng bàn) means both 'to decorate/adorn' (a place, often temporarily) and 'to dress up/disguise oneself' (a person). It is broader than 打扮 (dǎ ban), which focuses on making oneself look nice, and 装饰 (zhuāng shì), which is more about permanent decoration. For makeup specifically, use 化妆 (huà zhuāng); for playing a role, use 扮 (bàn).
