A team of makeup artists from beauty giant Revlon came to Hunter to teach journalism students how to look their best on camera.
Students in Prof. Sissel McCarthy’s Studio News Production class learned from the experts how to apply high-definition makeup ahead of their first Hunter News Now newscast on March 12.
“The key to a natural look is to start with primer,” said Antonette Bivona, a senior director of Global Product Development at Revlon. “Then you apply foundation that matches your skin tone at the jawline.” Foundation is key to smooth out all the imperfections that the high-def camera will pick up.
Each student also received a customized bag of Revlon products that matched their coloring.
The three other members of the glam squad, Trinity Serra, Lauren Woods and Melody Langjahr, demonstrated techniques for applying eye makeup, lip color and blush to heighten and define cheekbones.
Once that’s done, Bivona said it’s time to set the makeup with translucent powder. “But that’s not my final step,” said Bivona. “I like to use a little concealer at the corner of the eye to lighten and brighten the whole look.”
