DS9 Season 2
…
The Skrreea from “Sanctuary“, whose ‘bumpy skin’ design was created by combining little bags of pumice, found in a hobby train shop, with a liquid latex, which was then stippled onto the actors faces and dried. Westmore also discusses how when the makeup was applied to one single individual, it simply looked like someone with a lot of pimples, but when applied to a group, it became an alien race
The Dosi from “Rules of Acquisition“, whose facial art designs are based on colorations found in tribes from Borneo and in the South Seas. Westmore also discusses the continuity problems that arise when using elaborate paint designs
Melora Pazlar from “Melora“, whose makeup was designed under the guideline to keep the actress beautiful
Cardassian women, specifically Natima Lang from “Profit and Loss“. Westmore explains that the blue coloration of the ‘spoon’ design on the forehead of Cardassian females came about due to a concern that people wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between the males and the females. He also discusses that because the producers wanted some of Mary Crosby‘s chest exposed, a large breast plate had to be designed which Westmore says must have been uncomfortable for Crosby to wear, but he never heard her complain once. He also discusses how the love scene between Lang and Quark is one of his all-time favorite Star Trek scenes, because despite the heavy makeup, it is still just a simple, touching romantic scene, and the makeup is completely unimportant
The Cardassian voles from “Playing God“, which were mounted on radio-controlled cars. Westmore explains that the teeth are made from acrylic, and the eyes are glass, and he notes that it was more complex to build a vole than a facial appliance. He also points out that because the voles are Cardassian, they too have the spoon design on their foreheads
Fenna and Nidell from “Second Sight“, with their unusual ear designs, which was again, based upon the desire to have the actress look alien, but not compromise her beauty
Maihar’du, whose makeup was based upon that of Pruneface from Dick Tracy
Fallit Kot from “Melora“, whose makeup was based upon the fact that Westmore had never had the opportunity to bridge the face of an alien
