Depends on the scene and the effect you're going for. We use a variety of masks on static props. Some of our actors also wear masks. Make-up is certainly more flexible but there are some excellent masks out there with really good sculpts that are pretty impressive. This is one we use almost every year on an actor. It weighs a lot and is quite warm inside but gets a great reaction. After two hours, you're more than ready to take it off.
