It can be done. The problem is finding ways to avoid the Uncanny Valley effect:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley
It's why people are creeped out by some CGI animation, robotics and even costumes that attempt to get close to being human. But there's a piece that doesn't fit into the equation that ruins the entire effect of the costume. For example, the dead-eyed stares of the CGI actors within "Beowulf" or, in the case of the video here, the bone structure of the faces that no amount of makeup can hide.
So for all the people who can totally get into character and know how to divert attention away from the shortcomings of their masquerade through subtle body language and other aspects of the overall presentation I salute them. But it's definitely not for everyone.
And who am I to say how someone chooses to have fun? Get all dolled up with your bad self! :-)
