Richard Nixon had a real dislike of make-up & television. So much so, that he was told "Well, sir that's why you're gonna lose." Of course, he did an about face. I wonder how he'd be today?

High Definition video shows everything. The slightest hair sticking up is really magnified and can be a huge distraction for your audience. Make-up is airbrushed on these days to prevent heavy layering & brush marks. Everyone has a different complexion and unique circumstances. A professional make-up/stylist can ensure that everyone looks there best on-camera. And when the taping is done, they help you remove it so that no one will know. Some enjoy the experience so much, they leave it on the rest of the day. Like everything, Make-up techniques are always changing and adapting. After all, Richard Nixon adapted to accepting make-up to win - Today, it's a really necessity to win.
