This one comes via our colleagues at CNET Asia, who were surprised to be invited to Samsung's flagship Vivocity store in Singapore to attend a Make Up For Ever workshop that paired make-up with HDTVs.
Yes, even make-up has entered the age of high definition. The rationale behind the event was a response to the new demands of digital technology, where high definition tends to amplify details up to six times more than standard definition. This basically translates to talc-based make-up now accentuating, instead of hiding, those pimples, pigmentation, under-eye bags, enlarged pores and, horror of horrors, wrinkles when viewed on high-def TV.
This can be brutal not just for professional actors and actresses, but also blushing brides obsessed with their appearance before the unforgiving clarity of high definition. So moving with the times, Make Up For Ever has developed a new line of HD cosmetics for the digital era.
Of course, CNET video presenters, who for the most part screen in the small(ish) video windows of Web browsers, can still get away with a few facial blemishes. But with high definition the shape of things to come, it will no doubt be just a matter of time before we'll have to gird ourselves for a high-definition close-up.
