Make+Up

Here are questions I need to answer.... ==__1. Do all T.V./ Movie actors wear make-up?__   All actors and actresses wear make-up during movies and T.V. shows. One of the reasons they wear make-up is to make them look flawless for the big screen or stage. They wear different kinds of make up so that they will stand out from the surrounding people and/or characters. A great example of someone who used make-up to make them look completely different is Johnny Depp. Some example of films that they changed his visual image was in Edward Scissor Hands, The Pirates Of The Caribbean films and The Public Enemies.

2. What kind?
===When doing movie make-up there are different types of products that they use to create the effect. They do use everyday makeup but they also use stuff out of the ordinary. They us fake blood, bald caps, spirit gum and much more. Fake blood is used to give the thought of someone bleeding. They use a bald cap to make somebody look bald. They have made it so that they can match it to your skin tone and make your hair look flat so then you don't look like you have a bunch of hair underneath. Spirit gum is used to put on fake hair, you could go with the stuff you buy at stores but you can also make your own. Here's a link i found that is useful for fake hair. Gum is an adhesive, made mostly of resin (the adhesive, or "gum"), used for affixing prosthetic applications. It has been known to cause allergies for some people, but nevertheless remains in wide use. Spirit gum is also used as a theatrical adhesive to apply wigs, beards, and other costumes. Spirit Gum (doesn't look anything like gum)===

===3. How does it work with lighting?  The fundamental purpose of stage make-up is totally different then regular everyday make-up. One of its purposes is to work with lighting. Make-up is used to effect the distance and the light that would normally wash your face out. ===

Another reason why people wear make-up is to bring out the face.
===In 1873 a woman named Ludwig Leichner, an opera singer made the first non-toxic make-up. Make-up is also used to pull together a costume. An example of this is if somebody is playing an old man and they're only 20.They will make his hair white and make his face look old by using blush and eye shadows. It is a hard thing to do, but they managed to pull it off in the movie "Benjamin Button."===

Look at the difference between Edward Scissor hands and Jack Sparrow. This show what some make-up can do to change people.
