High definition Broadcasting

HD television can be intimidating as every thing is shown too much make-up is obvious so you have to be careful as you still want to cover the imperfections but you don't want to appear to be too full of makeup 
HDTV comes in 2 formats: 1080p (1920x1080p) 2.07mp per frame / 1080i (1920x1080i) 2.07 mp per frame 720p (1280 x 720p) 0.92mp per frame
P = progressive seam 
I = interlaced 
Prepartion is the key as everything shows up so you want a fresh clean canvas cleansing, toning and moisturizing cant be skipped.
According to make-up artist say that techniques like air brushing works well with HD TV  it lasts longer and the micronized pigments are far less detectable on camera which then gives the illusion of flawless skin. You can contour and add blusher on top although un-blended blusher shows up horrendously on HD so you can air brush over to smooth the surface. if your working with film the majority of your kit will be in HD standard My foundation pallet from Kryolan is amazing for this as it creates a photo ready base. You mainly need to concentrate on hiding imperfections such as blemishes and smoothing over wrinkles.

BBC first introduced HD make-up to companys such as Sky and virgin media at certain times then it became a regular occurance
