I love Special Effects Make-Up, it's one of my passions. By far and away, the best Special Effects Artist is Rick Baker. He's not only won 6 Oscars, but had an Oscar category created especially for him and his work. He's worked on movies such as: The Exorcist, Planet Of The Apes, Men In Black (I, II, & III), Gorillas In The Mist, The Grinch, Tropic Thunder and King Kong. He is also responsible for the world famous Michael Jackson's "Thriller" zombie make-up.
Information about him is quite difficult to find, which is hugely upsetting. However, I came across this article from 'Empire' magazine which breaks down 13 of his most famous works. Have a read, learn something new and enjoy!
