Question:- 96-100
In general it is better to use too little make-up than too much. The audience should not be aware that the actor’s face is painted. For the actor who is playing his own age, the artist uses makeup to strengthen the features, particularly eyes and mouth, and to add lifelike colour to the face. Character makeup does these things in addition to transforming the face to another age, another type or another race. This transformation, particular for young actors playing old characters, can be helped greatly by hats and hairdos. Make-up consists of applying a base colour, then modelling the face by highlighting and shadowing (sinking the cheeks, for example, with a darker colour). Sometimes, modelling is done by applying false (putty or plastic) noses, enlarged eyebrows, or scars. Lines to suggest wrinkles are drawn on with a dark makeup pencil (brown or maroon, not black) or brush. Each line is highlighted with another line, either white or light tint of the base colour. Lips are outlined and coloured, and a similar colour is applied to the cheeks. After make-up is complete, powder is applied.
Q. 96 The artist uses makeup to strengthen the features, particularly eyes and mouth, and to add life like colours to the face for the actor who is playing ____________
A. the lead role

Q. 97 What do artists use to help young actors playing old men?
A. Wig and moustache
B. Hats and hairdos
C. Wheelchairs and walking sticks
D. False noses, enlarged eyebrows or scars
Q. 98 What is the correct sequence for make-up?
A. Modelling the face by highlighting and shadowing then applying a base colour
B. Highlighting and shadowing, then applying a base colour and modelling the face
C. Applying a base colour, then modelling the face by highlighting and shadowing
D. Shadowing and modelling, then applying a base colour for highlighting
