The Foundation on which any character makeup is based is of course, the character and the primary purpose of character make up it TO HELP the actor reveal that character. I have three basic steps which can be followed in arriving at a suitable conception of the makeup for a realistic character:
1 - Find out as much as you can, means explore about your character.
2- Visualize the character, considerating ways in which what you have learned about can be reflected in his physical appreance
3- Your ideas about the physical appreance of the character to the face of the actor who is playing the part, whether it be yourself or someone else.

Finding Out About The Character)
For the historical characters, there are additional source,such as biographies, photograph and worts of art. If we are an actor, we will, of corse, already have studied the play. If you designing a make up for the actor will presumably, get from the actor and the director ideas about the character.
Visualizing The Character
Visual image of the character may find it useful to examine the varous factors that might be influential in determining the character's appreance. For convenience, these factors can be devided into 7 groups
A) Genetics
B) Environments
C) Health
D) Disfigurements
E) Fashion
F) Age
G)Personality
