High definition (HD) broadcasting is a television which gives you exceptionally clear, crisp pictures with vivid colours and up to five times more detail than a standard television. It is the fastest and most clearest digital format to watch television in.
How High definition (HD) broadcasting effects Makeup/Hair:
It is always important to prepare the skin before applying the make-up because too much make-up can appear really obvious on HD, so therefore it is essential to always cleanse, tone and moisturise beforehand to even out the hydration of the skin as this is extremely important for HD.
Most of the make-up in a make-up artists kit will work fine for HD, although by having airbrush techniques will give you a distinct advantage so it is definitely good to invest in an airbrush kit.
Airbrush cosmetics are made from micronised pigments that are less detectable on camera.
The length of wear with airbrushing is great as it lasts a lot longer than conventional make-up and doesn't need touching up as much throughout the day.
Airbrushing blends very easily and doesn't leave any hard lines of demarcation. If you have hotspots then you are able to dust the area lightly with a bit of transparent powder to make it less shiny.
Blusher which is blended badly can look really bad in HD but by using airbrushing it can smooth out any imperfections. It is also really good for highlighting and contouring.
Setting powder is a product that can often be a problem in HD as non-micronised powders can often give the skin an ashy, dull look on camera. You are able to purchase specialised HD setting powders.
A lot of make-up artists are used to checking their work in a mirror, however with HD it is also important to eyeball the make-up closely because if there are any apparent imperfections to the naked eye then this will also be very apparent on HD.
Below are some videos about HD make-up which I have found very interesting and useful:
