I chose my action 'to beg' because Fraulein Kost had to persuade Fraulein Schneider to let her stay in the house as long as she didn't see the prostition happening. Even though Schneider was angry at first, when she realised she would be losing rent from Kost, she agreed to let her stay. I think she acted desperate to make Schneider feel sorry for her.
Again, the analysis above was for the film Cabaret, the one below is for Goodbye to Berlin.
I chose my action 'to lie' because Fraulein Kost does actually lie to Frl Schoeder when she questions her as the gentleman is Japanese and cannot speak German. Frl Kost is clearly on the spot and lies "we play the gramophone together and eat chocolate". I don't know why Frl Schoeder asked her what they did when she secretly knew what she was doing with all the different men.
To portray this in the make-up, I would maybe add some sweat to the forehead and nose to show she would have panicked as Frl Kost would've had to think quickly on the spot. I would've done this by adding some glycerine with cotton wool, as the droplets form perfectly like sweat.
