One who makes or manufactures faces; historically, an actor or performer, or someone who shapes faces (archaic).
Compound of 'face' and 'maker' (from Old English 'macian', to make). This is an archaic or specialized term, possibly used in theater or sculpture contexts.
In Shakespeare's time, 'facemaker' could mean an actor who changes their expression constantly—so calling someone a 'facemaker' was both a compliment (great performer) and an insult (fake person)!
