Who built Mt. Rushmore
They didn't use makeup to create Mount Rushmore, but the creation of Mount Rushmore started in 1921 by Gutzon Borglum and finished by his son in 1941.
It was Gutzon Borglum who started sculpting Mount Rushmore, but when he died March 6th, 1941 his son Lincoln borglum took over. You can get a llot of info about this on wikipedia and the mount Rushmore officail website links. Hope this helps!
The idea for carvings in the Black Hills in South Dakota came from Doane Robinson, South Dakota's State Historian. Doane invited Gutzon Borglum to the Black Hills in South Dakota to discuss his idea and see if Gutzon would be interested in doing the carvings. On his second visit, Gutzon Borglum found Mount Rushmore and agreed to do the carvings and Doane Robinson agreed to work to fund the project.
