ART OF MOTION PICTURE MAKE-UP 169 brow. The line on the upper lid extends slightly down on the nose on the inner corner of the eye. The Svengali eyebrows are decidedly pronounced. Heavy and close eyebrows are most always associated with brutal, fiendish types. Mephisto's pointed nose and chin by no means consummate the character. The eyebrows properly shaped complete his characteristic expression. Scars There are many types of scars. When it becomes necessary to make a scar, we should understand its construction and the art of creating a realistic effect. There are many methods, but we will describe in detail the simpler ones known to the profession. 1. Welts — The average scar appears as a welt and not as an indentation. It is caused by a blow, and is somewhat different from that caused by a knife wound. This type of scar can be created by the use of a nose putty. Apply the nose putty over the scar area, building up in the center and smoothing off the edges into the foundation make-up. The raised surface may be colored with a grey-blue lining color, No. 6, accentuating the bruised part of a welted scar. The line of a scar should be irregular and never straight. 2. Indentations — (Use of Collodion). Non-flexible collodion is used for making indentations — it gives a realistic effect. Apply it with a brush directly on the place where the scar is desired. Allow to dry, and if the recession is not deep enough, apply another film of collodion and allow to dry. Repeat until recession is as desired. Usually, three or four applications are sufficient. Collodion scars may be removed by dissolving with Acetone, or they may be peeled off. Cauliflower ear device An indentation scar may be effected by the use of nose putty. Spread it well over the spot where you wish the scar, raising up the center and smoothing the edges well into the complexion. Then, with a paper stump or any similar instrument, make a crease in the center and line it with dark Red color, No. 9 lining color. High light with No. 1 1 Yellow, or No. 1 2 White and blend the edges well together. 3. Old, Flat Surface Scars — In making an old scar, it is a matter of resembling the discolorations by the use of proper colors. Scars may be of any conceivable size or color. The dark parts of scars require a low light — a No. 9 lining color, Maroon. Highlight edges with a contrasting color, a No. 1 2 White or a No. 1 1 Yellow. The illusion is completed when the edges are carefully blended. Some
