170 CINEMATOGRAPHIC ANNUAL scars can be made to appear very natural by touching up here and there with a little Purple, No. 8, and Yellow, No. 1 1. Cauliflower Ears To create the natural effect of a cauliflower ear, take a piece of cardboard about half an inch wide by an inch and a half long and cut it according to the illustration. Place a hairpin in the center, the length of the cardboard, and fasten it with tape that is adhesive on both sides. Bend to form an angle, as illustrated. Then attach behind the ear, one-half adhering to the head, the other half to the ear, forcing it out at an angle. Then model inside of the ear with nose putty, giving it the puffy appearance of a cauliflower. Blocked-out teeth The Teeth In the ensemble of our features the teeth contribute much to the expression of the face. If they are discolored or too far apart these defects destroy much of what would otherwise be a pleasing expression. When teeth are too far apart the spaces may be filled in with gutta percha especially prepared for the layman's use. Discolored teeth can be effectively concealed by the use of tooth enamel, a preparation for giving teeth a uniform coloring. Black tooth enamel, a quick drying film-forming liquid, is used to block out teeth for grotesque characters, such as old hags, witches, misers and comedy parts. Your Make-up Materials The amount of make-up material that is necessary to keep on hand will vary according to the purpose and interest of the amateur or experimenter, or the amount of work of the professional. Enough make-up should be on hand to complete whatever type or character you intend to portray, as the absence of a preparation would impair your success. Character requires a larger number of shades of grease paint, powders linings, etc. A complete list of the requirements for the Professional or the Amateur is as follows: Grease paints, lining colors, face powders, lip rouge, dry rouge, under rouge, cold cream, clown white, burnt cork, nose putty, liquid make-up, black masque, white masque, tooth enamel, black tooth enamel, spirit gum, collodion, crepe hair, assorted shades, combs, scissors, chamois liners.
