Introduction
MI
Introduction (LSI Quadrant I):
SAY: Most celebrities wouldn’t be caught dead without being completely ‘made up’,
especially with the advent of HDTV. Now, bags, sags, and wrinkles are even
more noticeable than ever. However, the main goal of most makeup artists
for TV and film is to use a minimal amount of makeup products to keep a
natural look for the talent.
Many celebrities bring their own makeup artists along on a shoot because
they are accustomed to the skin and hair attributes of their client. However,
most people on TV do not have their own personal stylist.
You may not have an inclination to become a makeup artist yourself, but it is
a good idea for any production company to have a makeup kit and someone
who knows something about applying makeup for the camera on staff.
Today, we’re going to cover basic and corrective makeup applications used in
television and film.
Outline
MI
Outline (LSI Quadrant II):
Instructor Notes:
I.
NOTE: Prior to the
lesson, set up a small lit
set with camera hooked
up to projector, and a
high chair or stool for
your ‘model’ to sit in
later in the lesson. While
you will use a projector
at first for the
presentation, once you
begin the makeup
application make sure
the students have
handouts of the slide
presentation to follow
along.
Define the terms associated with the lesson
A. Makeup Artist - An artist who works in the
medium of makeup and hair.
B. Makeup - The decorations placed directly on
the skin or hair of an actor for cosmetic or
artistic effect.
C. Foundation - A flesh-toned cosmetic applied
to the face to create an even, uniform color to
the complexion, and sometimes, to change
the natural skin tone. Foundation applied to
the body is generally referred to as body
paint.
D. Applicator - Powder puffs or sponges used to
transfer makeup from container to talent
E. Brush - Used to apply, blend, or contour
powder product on the talent

II.
Identify and define tools and materials used in
application of TV/film makeup.
A. Light/medium/dark tone foundations
B. Mascara
C. Powder
D. Assorted blushes
E. Assorted lipsticks
F. Assorted eye shadows
G. Makeup sponges
H. Assorted brushes
I. Makeup sponges
J. Cotton swabs
K. Tissues
L. Makeup remover facial wipes
M. Carry case for makeup materials
III.
Discuss the two categories of TV and film makeup
application.
A. Basic - Can be as simple as brushing on
some translucent powder to cover some
shine to applying a full face of makeup.
B. Corrective - Could involve such things as
minimizing puffy bags under the eyes or a
bump on the nose with contouring and
shading to using a highlighter to lighten dark
circles under the eyes.
IV.
Discuss special considerations in TV/film makeup
application.
A. Shine
1. Very pervasive on the set due to several
factors one’s own natural skin oil and the
heat produced by lighting instruments.
2. Although lighting technology has lowered
the actual temperature of lighting
instruments, several working lamps can
cause talent to perspire.
3. Tension or stress felt by the talent can
also induce an unwanted shine. You
combat shine with POWDER. If you have
translucent powder in the makeup case,
dust some on your talent with a soft
bristle brush or a powder puff. Don’t
forget to dust off high foreheads and
balding heads-they can shine too!
B. Environment - It is best to apply and check
makeup under the same color temperature
lamps as you will be shooting under.
C. Sanitation –
1. You should use disposable makeup
applicators so that you do not cross-

use.

contaminate from one person to
another.
2. Makeup can be contaminated when
dipping directly in the container after
applying to talent. Instead, take out the
amount you’ll need and apply from a
plate or palette. Keep brushes clean by
occasionally washing them with hair
shampoo.
Application
MI
Guided Practice (LSI Quadrant III):
Demonstrate to the class how to apply basic makeup using a student as model or
one as makeup artist and another as the model. Make sure that you are working
under studio lighting and projecting the image for students to see. Ensure that
students have handouts of slide presentation to follow.

Apply foundation using a moist foam rubber sponge, select a shade that
matches skin tone as close as possible, unless trying to darken or lighten.
Apply eye shadow: Powder or cake type holds up better under studio lights.
Discuss how you can add depth and size to the eye by using a darker shade.
Discuss how you can lighten and ‘open’ heavy-lidded eyes with a dot of ivory
or yellow under the eye brow.
Apply lipstick: Choose a color that will harmonize with skin coloration and
wardrobe. Remind students that an applicator such as a lip brush should be
used between talents to avoid cross-contamination. Blot lips with a tissue to
avoid unnatural shine.
Bring a darker skin tone student to the chair. Discuss how appropriate
shades of makeup are available for darker skin tones, but generally can be
used more sparingly. With very dark skin, the tonal reflectance level can drop
so low that a loss of form and dimension result. A drop of baby oil or glycerin
can preserve the highlights.
Discuss with the students how corrective makeup can be used to cover flaws.
Demonstrate on a volunteer. Apply the foundation and blend in shades of
makeup that are either darker or lighter. Discuss with students about
contouring; remind them that a darker shade of makeup than the foundation
or base is used to downplay features, such as a high forehead or an overly
prominent nose.
Demonstrate to the students how contouring can also be used to add depth
to flatter areas such as the cheeks. Discuss how, in highlighting, the object is
to pull the viewers’ eye toward certain facial features or areas. A shade of
makeup that is lighter than the foundation is used to achieve this. Discuss
how shadowy areas under the eyes and lower lip that may appear darker on
camera can be lightened with a highlighter.
Discuss makeup removal with the students. Inform them that some people
may prefer to leave it on, but others will want it removed. Demonstrate
removal of makeup using a facial wipe.

Independent Practice (LSI Quadrant III):
Have students pair up with a partner or in small groups (depending on your available
materials). Distribute brushes and makeup as available. Instruct students to practice
on one another, focusing on decreasing shine and correcting problem areas.
Students will follow the directions on the Makeup Application Poster Handout to
create a poster with images that reflect terms, supplies, and makeup application
concepts they have learned.
Teacher will circulate through lab to redirect/reteach as necessary.
Summary
