looks to recreating period designs and styles, and
transforming actors' physical appearance. Make-up and
hair effects include the design and application of wigs,
hairpieces, hair extensions, facial hair, bald caps,
tattoos, body paint; as well as medical effects such as
cuts, scars, bullet wounds, burns, bruises, blood and the
physical symptoms of various diseases. Ageing and

client's skin type, including coloring, condition and
