The red is to distinguish the nose from the cheek and the cheek from the hair at a distance. If a darker colour had been used, it would have stood out too much against the other pale colours. He doesn't literally have a big red line down his nose and cheek : s

Everyone should wear blue-lines-based make-up!

The only issue I see is your abundant exuberance for the topic makes it impossible to affect the same haggard disinterest the subject portrays. Imagine the life you must live to find a unicorn hunt boring. This guy has definitely seen some things.
