Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Makeup in the cinema is generally subtler than on stage. The theatrical actor
uses makeup primarily to enlarge his or her features so they'll be visible from long
distances. On the screen, makeup tends to be more understated. Even the most delicate
changes in makeup can be perceived in the cinema.
Cinematic makeup is closely associated with the type of performer wearing it. In general,stars prefer makeup that tends to glamorize them. Straight actors and actor stars are less
concerned with glamour unless the characters they're playing are in fact glamorous. In an
effort to submerge their own personalities, such performers often use makeup to disfigure
the familiarity of their features. Nonprofessional players probably wear the least amount
of makeup, since they're chosen precisely because of their interesting and authentic
physical appearance.
