When it comes to makeup that’s going to work for HD filming – are there any brands/products out there that can give the same effect but without harming the environment?
There are many brands and products available that are suitable for HD filming. The key is seamless product application – which, with certain products can mean you have to use slightly different application techniques ie: getting used to products that don’t contain silicones to make them glide on.
Of course, the more speciality products, such as alcohol palettes, SPFX products, glues, etc are much harder to switch out, because they require a number of key ingredients that have been synthesised to function in a specific way, not yet effective enough solely through natural feedstocks. The key here is to use them responsibly and ensure that the waste after use is disposed of correctly. Many of these products, including nail polish, are technically hazardous waste and should not go down the drain or into landfill.
The good news is that more and more clean beauty colour cosmetic brands are being developed by makeup artists, so they are becoming a lot more sophisticated and professional-friendly by the day.
