Tropic Thunder (2008)
The Make-Up: Who 🌃is the actor playing fat, balding studio exec Les Grossman? Yes, it's Tom𒀰 Cruise.

Cleverest Detail: C🐷ruise himself decided to 🌃wear oversized prosthetic hands for an extra touch of grotesquery.
A Clockwork Orange (1971)
The Make-Up: Some🌱🃏times, all you need to convey the moral corruption of dystopian youth is a bit of guy liner, as Kubrick's droogs define themselves through sparse but eye-catching self-decoration.
Created By: Make-up artist Barbara Daly collaborated with costume designer Milena Canonero, who was under instructions from Stanley Kubrick to start with the head when devising the droogs' l⭕ook.
Cleverest Detail: Applying thick make🐻-up to the lashes of just one ey🐼e, breaking up the symmetry of Malcolm McDowell's face to unnerving effect.
The Nutty Professor (1996)
The Make-Up: Eddie Murphy spends what must have been an eternity in the make-up chair 🌠as he plays multiple members of the morbidly obese Klump family.
Created By: Rick Baker, who won yet another of his seven Oscars for managing to differentiate the ꩵK🍸lumps.
Cleverest Detail: The family dinner scene - the film's iconic showcase for Baker's work - was♛ nearly cut for lack of relevance to the plot.

The Make-Up: A menagerie of mutant creations makes it way to the big screen, none more s🌜triking than Re꧑becca Romijn's blue-skinned, naked Mystique.
Created By: Prosthetic artist Gordon J Smitꦿh and make-up supervisor Ann Brodie.
Cleverest Detail: The sheer level of detail - Romijn's make-up comprised 110 separate prosth⛄etics, covering 60% of her bod🌠y.
The Godfather (1972)
The Make-Up: Marlon Brando's drooping, bulldog-esque jowls were ꦚnot, as the legend goes, created by the actor stuffing his mouth with cotton wool but using a special mouthpiece.
Created By: This wa﷽s an early triumph for make-up pioneer Dick Smit🥃h.
Cleverest Detail: Smith's make-up was so difficult to light that it led to cinematographer Gordon Willis' decision to use over꧑head lighting, helping to define the film's distinctive look.
The List Of Adrian Messenger (1963)
The Make-Up: Director John Huston came up with the wheeze of having Hollywood A-listers Kirk Douglas, Burt Lancaster, Frank Sinatra, Robert🐻 Mitchum and Tony Curtis appear in heavily disguised cameos.
Created By: John Chambers, recently immortalised by John Goodman for his part in the real-life events depicted in Argo .
Cleverest Detail: The end of the film, in which the stars wipe off th💧eir make-up to reveal their identities.
Hellboy (2004)
The Make-Up: Ron Perlman's imposing physique and granite features are augmented with a lot of red paint, as he plays the reformed Nazi demon with lopped-off horns and a ⛎hand made of stone.
Created By: Matt Rose, whose job was easier when he discovered an old mask of Perlman which had been used in the actor's 1980s TV hit, Beauty And The Beast .
Cleverest Detail: Talk about all-encompassing; the only part of Ron Perlman that is still♑ visible under the make-up are his eyelids.
Batman Returns (1992)

Cleverest Detail: Never mind Pinhead, what about Uncle Frank, who willingly has his facia꧑l skin peeled back by hooks?
The Goonies (1985)
The Make-Up: Ex-American football star John Matuszak was transformed beyond recognition to play Sloꦿth, the kind but disfigured son of evil Ma Fratelli.
Created By: Ellis Burman Jr, Thomas R. Burman and B🐈ari Dreiband-Burm𝄹an. It was a family affair.
Cleverest Detail: To achieve th﷽e effect of Sloth's eyes being far apart, one eye was a special effect🉐 operated by remote control, to which Matuszak had to blink in time.
