Achievement in Makeup
by Stephanie Morgan, Columbus Wired Columnist (3/18/03)
No one in
Hollywood gets up looking like they do in the movies. Makeup is
what makes an actor attractive, old or half beast. For most
films, it’s a matter of using products a little bit better than
what the grocery store offers. But for a few films, there’s a bit
of the old above-and-beyond that deserves some special
recognition.
The
Technical Explanation: Makeup is any change in the appearance of
a performer's face, or hair, or body created by the application of
cosmetics, three-dimensional materials, prosthetic appliances or
wigs and hairpieces, applied directly to the performer's face or
body. Makeup, as an achievement or a craft, shall be determined by
the Makeup Award Rules Committee. Eligible films submit clips of
the makeup process (you’ll see clips of these during the awards
show) and how it contributed to the final film. Clips may be no
longer than 10 minutes. A ballot shall be distributed to the
committee. All members must mark a score of 10, 9, 8, 7 or 6
opposite each of the achievements. A maximum of three productions
achieving the highest average point score of 8.0 or more may be
nominated for the Makeup Award.
