What 15+ Movie Characters Would Look Like Without Their Iconic Makeups

Movie makeup encompasses a variety of makeup techniques, from using camera-friendly cosmetics to appear natural in front of the camera to using prosthetic makeup to create SFX characters in sci-fi and horror films. A body makeup artist will apply makeup to various portions of the body, whereas a film makeup artist often refers to someone who applies makeup to the actors' faces. For sci-fi movies, this could also incorporate SFX injuries and effects like scales or alien skin.
