For reasons, here's the 101 on Bajoran nose wrinkles. 😅
In "Ensign Ro"↖️↗️ and very early #StarTrekDS9 episodes↙️↘️, the Bajoran make-up was still a little more complicated and featured additional brow ridges. Keeve Falor, the Bajoran girl, Tahna Los and Zayna all have them.

None of the later #StarTrekDS9 (Vedek Winn ↖️, Shakaar ↗️) and #StarTrekVOY (Gerron ↙️, Tal Celes ↘️) Bajorans have these brow ridges, however. The make-up was simplified very early on DS9, maybe to speed up the make-up application with so many Bajoran extras.
After it had been modified during early #StarTrekDS9, this simplified Bajoran make-up was also seen in two #StarTrekTNG season 6/7 episodes, worn by a Bajoran security officer (played by @VaunWilmott) in "Descent I"↖️↗️ and by uncercover Riker in "Preemptive Strike"↙️↘️.
Happy 30 years to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine! Here's a thread featuring just some of the (ridiculous amount of) episode artwork I've created to celebrate this once in a generation series. (1/7) #StarTrek #StarTrekDS9 #StarTrekDeepSpaceNine
Quark saying,"when governments fall, people like me are lined up and shot" hits differently now. #StarTrekDay #StarTrekDS9
Quark was worried about the demonization of businesses like his bar and casino amid the rise of a potentially fundamentalist government. I'm concerned about being thrown in the back of a van by fascists who exploit fundamentalism to meet authoritarian ends. #StarTrekDS9
I really appreciated @ShimermanArmin's commentary during today's panel. He talked about how he said back then that #StarTrekDS9 would eventually be understood & appreciated. It was so ahead of its time. It gave me stories as a young person that I wouldn't encounter anywhere else.
I am a little irked about @DS9Doc. I rarely donate to projects, but I am a huge #StarTrekDS9 fan, and so I donated. I forgot there were perks involved, until I received an email telling me that a shipping label had been printed in my name to receive a DVD. 1/x
I mean, that was really nice, because I totally forgot there would be any perks, and wasn't really expecting any. But I was dismayed because the address @DS9Doc sending to was an old one in Florida, and not my current Bronx address. 2/x
I immediately reached out to @DS9Doc and was told it was too late. They had already shipped (even though my email just said a label had been made, and it had not been picked up yet). They had asked us for updated addresses, but not me. I never received an email asking that. 3/x
