What it means for makeup artists-
Being a makeup artist for high definition broadcasting can be an intimidating job for not just the makeup artist but the on screen talent as well. The difference between standard definition and high definition makeup, is the necessity to produce work thats to film standard.
On HD broadcasting too much makeup can appear really obvious, can show it being cakie and fake. Cleansing, toning and moisturing is extreemly important when it comes to HD becuase the better the skin is the better the makeup is going to look. If you have preped the skin properly and the skin is looking the best it can that means you dont have to put as much makeup on your client.
"Too much makeup can appear really obvious on HD." – John Woodbridge
A lot of people say that you need specialised cosmetics or makeup techniques for work in high definition but you dont. You just need to make sure that the work is up to film standard, airbrushing also works really well for high definition. The reason it works so well is that airbrush cosmetics are made from micronized pigments that are far less detectable on camera. One product that can cause problems when doing makeup for high definition is the setting powder, it seems invisible in person but as soon as it gets under light and camera. The non micronized powders can sometimes give the skin an ashy, dull caste on camera. You can get setting powders that are made specialy for working in high definition so it doesnt give off that look on camera.
