Nothing dumb about any question that brings you closer to your goal. I'm fairly familiar with makeup "stuff" from done SFX makeup and taught it for a while in the 70's and 80's, otherwise I'd likely be really clueless how to find anything. Once you get into it, a lot of it can really help in getting looks you want in 3D as well - so much of both is just "smoke and mirrors" ultimately (color, emphasis, accents, and shading to redirect and refocus attention).
