High Definition Makeup

High Definition Makeup High Definition makeup projects create a wonderful world of challenges and new opportunities for growth in the fields of make-up, hair and especially wigs. Because the core of all vanity work has been based on correction, this new medium shakes the very foundation of our craft. Our focus must shift to flattering features while incorporating facial flaws to retain the humanness vital to the intense sharpness of the image.

When distressing, injury, or environmental damage was required, it was easy to turn to "the old bag of tricks". The bad news is "the bag of old tricks" reads like vaudeville on High Definition, the good news is we have the opportunity to paint with light. Revisiting the nature of shape, shadow and light will be the future of hair and make-up work for HD. The secret to successful high definition make-up and hair work in HDTV is the concept that light is the new cosmetic. We need to re-education ourselves as to how light, with enhancement, will paint with us.

    Early in pre-production a new, direct relationship with the DP, the Gaffer and the Vanity teams is vital. Without clear communication and new attention to trailer light, color adjustments with make-up mediums, however translucent, will not work. Working in correct light color and levels will be essential.

    Traditional make-up appears painterly and obvious on High Definition Makeup. Brush strokes and sponges edge marks read far worse in High Definition Makeup than they do on film. In the past we had grown comfortable with a heavy reliance on products to problem-solve our way thought project. Now even the lightest traditional film make-up has a masking quality. Correction serves only to create a falseness of character which is distracting and unbelievable.

    Skin is essentially clear and the melanin pigment is deep in the skin. Traditional make-up is opaque. New cosmetics must be translucent and ever-so-slightly reflective. The eye can still be fooled on High Definition makeup, but not with paint. Basically, we need to pitch the oils and switch to watercolor washes. Airbrush might be a good answer, since tool marks are also a huge problem. However products that are translucent with a sponge can quickly go opaque through an airbrush. Airbrush is a fabulous tool but as a fix-all solution, it is a crutch we need to drop. Essentially, what I am suggesting is allowing skin to "glow" - backing away from powder.
