Hunter media and journalism students gathered in a circle, surrounded by gifts from Cover Girl in shopping bags emblazoned with the slogan, \u201cI am what I make up.\u201d In front of them stood their guru for the day: Nick Scalzo, a professional makeup artist for Glam Squad, who came to class last week to share beauty tips and techniques for high definition camera exposure.<\/p>\n

The students in News Video Reporting would soon be treated not only to expert advice from Scalzo, whose company sends makeup artists to homes and offices, but also free customized cosmetics donated by Cover Girl.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I first arrived I was confused — our professor told us to find a Cover Girl bag with our name on it,\u201d recounted Cait Munson, a media major. \u201cI thought it was such a kind gesture from both Cover Girl and Sissel McCarthy.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Professor McCarthy looked on, students carefully watched Scalzo as he walked them step by step through his methods of accentuating features that may be lost when in front of the camera. By working on only one side of student Alexandra Ali\u2019s face, Scalzo was able to demonstrate the power of subtle techniques to dramatically define the eyes, which are a TV reporter\u2019s most important tool.<\/p>\n

\u201cEnhancing depth and dimensions for camera exposure will give the viewer what they are expecting,\u201d Scalzo explained, using the Cover Girl products to apply makeup to the eye area on Ali. He advised students to highlight the highest point of the eyelid and to shade in the natural contours of the face to enhance the 3D form of the face for on-camera exposure.<\/p>\n

Students pried Scalzo with questions, mostly regarding the selection of the right shade of foundation and ways to determine whether your skin\u2019s undertone is warm or cool.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith 11 years doing makeup, it is still a question that never goes away,\u201d Scalzo told students, adding that it\u2019s very important to determine your correct shade because if one has a cool undertone and uses a warm foundation, the outcome will be a skin tone high in orange pigment. Scalzo also advised the women in the group to ensure that their face shade matched their d\u00e9colletage.<\/p>\n

The trick? Look for hints of peach and pink undertones that define warm skin tones, and olive and yellow that define cool.<\/p>\n

Soon after Scalzo completed the right side of Ali\u2019s face, the room filled with smiles of approval. Scalzo then shared beauty tips for men by stepping in front of the camera himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cMake sure your skin is cleansed and moisturized,\u201d said Scalzo. Dry skin, he said, will read on camera. He demonstrated a quick way that men can cover up dark circles or blemishes with the use of foundation that matches the undertone of their skin \u2013 not a bad trick for over-tired students.<\/p>\n

Room 503 in the north building bustled with the sounds of rolling computer chairs and chatter. Students slowly walked out comparing shades of their eyeshadow palettes with each other and some sat behind and spoke to Scalzo as he began to pack up.<\/p>\n

Ali stood in the center of the room and as she giggled, she quietly asked Scalzo, \u201cCan you finish the other side of my face?\u201d McCarthy, Scalzo and the remainder of the students in the room burst into laughter, \u201cI completely forgot, of course!\u201d he said, inviting Ali back to the chair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
