• Inspecting equipment, structures, or materials to identify the cause of errors or other problems or defects.

• Conferring with staging or motion picture officials and performers for determining desired effects.
• Establishing budgets, and working within budgetary limits.
• Applying makeup for enhancing or altering the appearance of people appearing in productions such as movies.
• Altering or maintaining makeup during productions as necessary for compensating for lighting changes or for achieving continuity of effect.
• Selecting desired makeup shades from stocks, or mixing oil, grease, and coloring for achieving specific color effects.
• Cleansing and tone the skin to preparing it for makeup application.
• Assessing the performers’ skin types for ensuring that the makeup will not cause breakouts or skin irritations.
• Analyzing a script, noting events that affect each character’s appearance, so that plans can be made for each scene.
