19 Pictures Showing What Movie Characters Would Look Like Without Their Iconic Make-Ups
The amount of work that went into it is astounding.
Normally, most people don't appear in front of a screen without a touch of makeup. It's as if the face must be perfectly presented each and every time a picture or video is taken.
This is true for movies as well. The term "movie makeup" refers to a variety of cosmetic application techniques, from utilizing camera-friendly products to achieving a natural look in front of the camera, to applying prosthetic makeup for creating SFX characters in sci-fi and horror films.
While "film makeup artist" typically refers to someone who applies makeup to the actors' faces, a "body makeup artist" applies makeup to various parts of the body. This may also include SFX wounds and effects like scales or alien skin in sci-fi films.
These makeup artists have transformed actors into some of our favorite characters. The amount of work that goes into it is astounding.
With just a few brushes, mascara, and shadows, the results are remarkable. But what if you could see movie characters without any makeup at all?
Just consider how peculiar and intriguing that would be. Well, we've gathered pictures of well-known movie characters with and without makeup, so go ahead and let your curiosity be piqued.
