The constructive THREAD

[quote=]Fact – a make-up artist is the difference between life and death on a photo[/quote]

somewhat true but I have had many great results where the model is excellent at MU and has a great young clean face, give me a good face with no MU any day over a bad face with great MU.

like Kaj, no MUA, very little editing:

Matt - that - is not "very little editing"

LOLOL!

ok Gary, maybe that was 5 minutes in CS5, this image to prove my point is simply converted to jpg and stamped:

Matt - you mean to tell me there is no makeup on that model?

My appologies - I didn't want to divert this brilliant thread - so let's open another topic to discuss this element of the 'final product' - I'll start it called - "The importance of MakeUp"

Matt - you mean to tell me there is no makeup on that model?

Huh? Sure there is but that's not the issue here. What I was trying to illustrate is that a MUA is not make or break of a shoot.

Here's a suggestion. If you can't afford big lights, but still need it, the Godox range seems legit enough and doesn't kill you with the price tag. I saw a cool video on it here:
