Best makeup jobs in movies/television

A quick Google search puts these 3 at the top of the list:
Beetlejuice, American Werewolf in London, Mrs. Doubtfire.

While those are all good, I’d give the nod to Mason Verger played by Gary Oldman in Hannibal with honorable mention to Penguin Played by Colin Ferrell in The Batman. Also enjoy anything with Tom Savini’s involvement.

Loved that one as a kid specifically for the devil makeup.

Watch it-- for the main character. It's almost unfathomable how good it is. Just freaking incredible.

Shouldn't be an honourable mention, what they did with Farrell was extraordinary. Regardless of his age, lights out one of the hottest people in Hollywood completely unrecogniseable.

Maybe tied with Oldman as Mason Verger. they’re both pretty incredible jobs. Neither actor is recognizable in their getups and they look fantastic.

Considering how broad a Dublin accent Colin's got he nailed the Jerseyesque, his movements, everything it wasn't just the make up. I was blown away with him and Sofia Falcone.

They did a good job on Oldman as Churchill in Darkest Hour.

Best double chin I’ve ever seen!

I've always been impressed with the artistry of the makeup, but at the same time there's a whole other side to the situation that I've never explored. For example, if I were in Leonard's position and Roddenberry had to come to me saying, "You've got the job. Oh, by the way, you're going to be wearing this pair of pointed ears." I'd be thinking, "Oh, shit! No way!" - Shatner

Gotta be Mason Verger since I didn’t even realize that was Gary Oldman for a solid 10-15 years and I love that movie

He only shows up in the end credits despite playing a major role in the movie, so would be easily missed.
