Answer 1

well instead of finding a professional and having to pay then for it, before you do do that, find the theatre makeup people for your school plays/musicals etc. they can give you tips on the shadowing, the uses of different makeup for different things like a beard/hair etc. how to gray hair, starting a fresh pallet. and then after learning regular basics, find a professional, less money that way.  

Answer 2

well you could go to a halloween store and find face paint and fake blood. and creepy colored contacts are great!

youtube has a lot of instructional makeup videos that are helpful
