There are many ways to go about doing make-up for a show such as "Twelfth Night" because of how versatile all of the characters are. There is the character of Viola who, although she is a girl, is disguised as a boy the whole time and therefore would have make-up on that would accentuate certain features to make her look more masculine.

Malvolio could possibly require extensive make-up, because the character is so stern and stone-faced at almost all times. He is well kept and clean; perfect in his own eyes. However, he has the seen when Sir Toby, Sir Andrew, Feste and Maria lock him up as a joke, in which he would appear disheveled and unclean.

Also, there are characters like Sir Toby and Sir Andrew, who are old drunken men, sloppy and unkempt. Feste is also a character who would have a very interesting make-up job done on him depending on which direction you were planning on going with that character. Feste is a character that has so many possibilities within it.
