got were:

Special effects makeup, also called prosthetic makeup is the
process of sculpting, moulding and casting techniques to make innovative
cosmetic effects using makeup. Special effects makeup is used in films and
movies and for theatre performances. Actors use makeup to create illusions and
enhance features or to completely change the way they look. Age is just one
aspect that can be changed with special effects makeup. Another is defining
physical features or characteristics such as moles, eyes and even nose sizes
Technique:
It usually begins with a life casting, the process of taking
a mould of a body part (often the face) to use as a base for sculpting the
prosthetic, they are usually made of silicone rubber. Notable people in this
field include; John Chambers working on planet of the apes, Howard Berger
working on The Chronicles of Narnia film series and Gregory Nicotero on The Walking
Dead.
