What kind of make-up is used on professional photo shoots and movies?

My brother is doing a stage production course one of these components includes make-up my brother keeps on insisting that banana powder is used but I have had professional modeling shoots done and can't remember them every using banana powder, I remember them saying that the make-up they used was a lot heavier than everyday make-up and that's about all. Any help greatly appreciated.What kind of make-up is used on professional photo shoots and movies?
One of the brands of heavier makeup is MAC. It is used in some photo shoots, because it is thick enough to show the extremes of the look a model has on camera.What kind of make-up is used on professional photo shoots and movies?
Make up by Ben Nye is one of the many brands used professionally. It is actually a clown makeup and stays on beautifully. It's best use is for some of those out outrageous eyeshadow designs.
