Film makeup is a specialized form of makeup used in the film industry to enhance or alter an actor's appearance. It can create realistic characters, such as aging effects, injuries, or fantastical creatures. This type of makeup often involves techniques like prosthetics, face painting, and airbrushing to achieve the desired look. In addition to enhancing characters, film makeup artists work closely with directors and costume designers to ensure a cohesive visual style. They use various products, including special effects makeup and theatrical makeup, to bring scripts to life, making it an essential part of the filmmaking process.
