Yofiri Stories · Guide
Who does what on set: makeup, hair, prosthetics and grooming
A quick guide to the beauty departments behind a production.
The departments
Makeup: skin, eyes, continuity of the look across scenes and days.
Hair: cuts, styling, wigs and keeping hair consistent between takes.
Prosthetics: sculpted appliances for ageing, injuries or character changes.
Grooming: haircuts, beards and skin for (often male) talent who need a natural finish.
