In general it is better to use too little makeup than too much. The audience should not be aware that the actor's face is painted. For the actor who is playing his own
age, the artist uses makeup to strengthen the features, particularly eyes and mouth, and to add lifelike colour to the face. Character makeup
does these things in addition to transforming the face to another age, another type or another race. This transformation, particularly for young actors playing old characters, can be
helped greatly by hats and hairdos.
Makeup consists of applying a base colour, then modelling the face by highlighting and shadowing (sinking the cheeks, for example, with a darker colour).
Sometimes, modelling is done by applying false (putty or plastic) noses, enlarged eyebrows, or scars. Lines to suggest wrinkles are drawn on with a dark makeup
pencil (brown or maroon, not black) or brush. Each line is highlighted with another line, either white or a light tint of the base colour. Lips are outlined and coloured,
and a similar colour is applied to the cheeks. After makeup is complete, powder is applied.
