CHARACTOR MAKEUP
Charactor makeup is making an actor into another person by altering his or hers appearance so it fits the character they are playing. Probably one of the best know charactor was Ray Bolger when he played the Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz. If the character is mean, kind, fat, thin or ugly you must change the actors own features to match this. Make up plays an important role, because there are a lot of different methods such as wigs, false teeth and facial prosthetics that the makeup artist has to blend in.
One of the basics of doing most character makeup is with light and shadows using greasepaint..
