ART OF MOTION PICTURE MAKK-UP 163 monious and effective characterization. High lights are contrasting shades, skillfully blended with the foundation color of the complexion. Every dark line that is drawn on the face should be high lighted with a much lighter shade, and the edges must be properly blended with the complexion. High lights are used to give prominence to the nose, cheeks, chin and wrinkles whenever it becomes necessary, in creating a particular character. To high light these features, use a lighter shade of makeup than the ground tone that is being used on the rest of the face. For ordinary high lighting use a shade three or four times lighter than the base. For extreme high lighting, use white or yellow lining colors. To make shadows or low lights use colorings of a darker shade than the ground tones of the complexion. In straight make-up shadows can be used to offset features that are out of pleasing proportion. In special character make-up, shadows are employed to produce sunken features by blending them with high lights. To sink or hollow the cheeks and temples use shadows of gray or brown, high lighted with contrasting white or yellow, and blending the whole into the ground color. In most cases, in making low lights, do not use black. Use grey, maroon or dark brown. Showing the natural nose The same one highlighted for a character part A wide nose, shadowed to improve proportions The Nose While there are significant differences in the proportions of the nose among different types of people, it might be helpful to know the general standard of proportions accepted by most sculptors and portrait painters, as follows: 1 . The length of the nose must be equal to that of the forehead. 2. A front view of the nose should give the arch a little more width near the middle. 3. The point must be neither round nor fleshy. The lower contour, precisely outlined, neither narrow nor wide. 4. The flanks must be seen distinctly. 5. In the profile, the lower part of the nose should be only onethird its length. 6. The sides of the nose form a wall. When these proportions are required the use of high lights and shadows will give the effect. To make the nose thinner and more prominent use a high light on the bridge of the nose of a much lighter shade than the ground color of the complexion, carefully blending the sides with gray shadow or red brown.
