Excerpt from The Technique of Film and Television Make-Up Television and motion picture production has greatly stimulated the growth and change of methods used by make-up artists in the entertainment field. The advent of color processes in both mediums was an additional incentive to create a naturalness of facial coloring and design for the cameras critical eye. In combination with correct lighting, make-up is an important factor in the consolidated perfection required in today's productions. It is also important to note that the integration of planning and dependence upon each other of the wardrobe, lighting, set designing and make-up departments must be much closer co-ordinated than was hitherto necessary for stage productions because the departmental spheres of interaction are so related that each in turn affects the other in an overlapping manner. In addition to treating all the basic problems that the novice will encounter, and must solve, this book has much useful information for the expert make-up artists as well. In all cases the newest and, by experimentation, the best methods and procedures have been given. Many individual products have been mentioned by specific trade names so that the reader will have an accurate reference to the materials used by professional make-up artists. In many cases the products are the only ones manufactured for this specific use and, in others, those named have been found by constant use and experimentation to be the best available. The recommendations have been made on my experience and personal preference, and any inadvertent omissions of other products are not to be inferred as reflecting on such products.
