“Most civilians — people who don't make movies for a living — think makeup men are little more than hovering sprites who powder noses but they are true artists, often unsung, who imprint films with the soft touch of their brushes and the hard work of their craft. Their creation, which will be examined on the big screen for as many years as the film holds its audience, is the most physical manifestation of an actor's interpretation of his role.”
