Especially in what was supposed to be a sad scene. I was laughing.

Worst makeup changes in tv?
- Thread starter Chance Hale
- Start date
A lot of the men on TOS wore eyeshadow because they year the Star Trek premiered was the same year that CBS went to full color broadcasts. Supposedly, the make up artists were used to stage makeup for black and white and it took them a while to dial it in.
Had no idea they did that for black and white, interesting.
Certain colours were picked-up by the B&W cameras in certain ways. Here's the set from the Addams Family TV series, which was broadcast in B&W:
RuPaul's makeup on Drag Race, season 8 with his longtime makeup artist Mathu Anderson:
Season 9 after falling out with Mathu, now with makeup done by former contestant Raven:
(thankfully it's gotten better since then, Raven has improved a ton)

I found out a few days ago that the yellow uniforms that Kirk, Chekov, and Sulu wore was actually lime green, but showed up yellow on screen because of the lighting and film stock they used. Sounds like it took a while for them to get used to the switch to color.

That first episode of Down Under where he didn't even appear in drag in the judging panel because Raven hadn't landed in New Zealand by the time filming started XD

For a more recent example,
They changed Vision's make up to blue for the black and white scenes of WandaVision
35mm release prints have lots of generational loss, and they look even worse running through a projector... jittering all over the place.
Seeing as we're talking about color on film......
This is a scene from the 1937 film Sh, The Octopus.
Explanation from a Reddit comments section.
The actor has red make up applied to her face and a graduated filter, which goes from red on one half to blue on the other, is placed in front of the lens. At the start of the transformation shot the red half of the filter is positioned in front of the lens, through which the red make up blends with her skin tone, rendering it effectively invisible, then, as she "transforms", the filter slides across to it's blue half, through which the red make up is darkened, and the make up becomes visible. The give away is her eye colour; at the start, under the red half of the filter, her irises appear dark but, as the filter transitions to blue, they lighten.

I don't think old-make up Karen Gillan looked very old in Doctor Who. Looks like she's in her thirties to me, not abandoned on a lifeless planet for decades.
That's arguably one of the more flattering shots available; she definitely looks older in other images:
I think the makeup is overall pretty effective.
Looks pretty good, by your writing the look is not intentional though?Seeing as we're talking about color on film......

They did her so dirty.Mindhunter S2 had some inconsistent makeup effects that were heavily criticized.
You're God damn right bro. We've let this shit slide for too long.
No more mr nice gaius
Indeed. Here is Susan Sarandon at 60 for comparison:That's arguably one of the more flattering shots available; she definitely looks older in other images:

Oh I have a good one. I think everyone has forgotten that there was a Sin City 2 at this point, but the titular story of "A Dame To Kill For" gave us an early story for Dwight, who was played by Clive Owen in the first one. Josh Brolin plays him in this one but gets reconstructive surgery to hide his identity, which every character praises for looking nothing like he used to. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to slip Clive Owen back in but...
For those fortunate enough not to have seen it.
I really hope one day we get a full breakdown about what on earth happened here. The last episode has all the hallmarks of production that fell apart behind the scenes and had to cobble together something from the bits and pieces leftover.
Wait, this is really it?

I've seen the image before but I assumed it was from, I don't know, a comedic beat in an episode or something. Fascinatingly terrible, this is truly the king of the mountain.
lmao dude looks like he's getting setup for undercover boss

Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique really went through some dramatic changes. I think partly because she didn't want to go through the exttensive makeup process everytime.
Honestly she didn't need to go through that much at all to begin with.
Just blue skin and red hair, maybe contacts. No idea why they thought all this crazy extra shit was necessary.

To be fair, I feel like the Harry Potter ending was worse than this.
To add the necessary texture so that the makeup will show up right on film. Mystique in Dark Phoenix looks like a cosplayer who painted herself blue for Comic-Con. Surely you can see how much better she looked in the three previous films?
Darth Maul is dead to me now.HD releases ruined a lot of special effects from old movies. Another example is Darth Maul's horns in The Phantom Menace:
They're literally pasted on lol
Or at least done a high and tight so the bald cap would work.

COVID fucked production up pretty bad with the finale. I feel like they half did this on purpose because it would have been a waste given their limited resources for anything better.
There was a season of Arrow where the whole cast was supposed to be older versions of themselves in the future. All they did was spray on some gray color dye and maybe draw on a few wrinkles. It looked like a high school play.
I think he is saying Mystique doesn't need all that weird crap stuck all over her face in the first place.
And I agree. It look dumb.
Covid happened, they were pretty open about the fact that they had to rewrite stuff around covid restrictions during filming. They planned on having more characters in the finale, including Castiel, but couldn't do more because of the travel restrictions etc.

Tbh they should've just delayed the back half of the season but I'm sure everyone wanted to move on so they just said fuck it, go to Party City and grab some wigs and makeup.
Wonder if they'll one day tweak this digitally like they've done with half the movies.HD releases ruined a lot of special effects from old movies. Another example is Darth Maul's horns in The Phantom Menace:

I have never seen crazy texture on mystique from any comics I have seen her in from the 70's to today.
She just has blue skin.
No idea why they decided to make her part crustacean or some shit for those movies.
If I am remembering right Bryan Singer in the first X-Men movie added the scales and the nudity because he didn't think people would understand her shape changing without itI think he is saying Mystique doesn't need all that weird crap stuck all over her face in the first place.
And I agree. It look dumb.
Really freaking stupid and sexist honestly.
They clearly just wanted to have a naked woman in the movie.
i dont disagree but lol at using susan sarandon as a benchmark for ageing. thats just not fairIndeed. Here is Susan Sarandon at 60 for comparison:
I mean they also thought the xmen had to be in black batman-like suits for the first movies. the comic book movie landscape was very different. Took fucking forever for women to have any real roles at all in comic book movies, even look at more recent films like the raimi spiderman films.
This is a great example. Everything in this sequel looks worse. Mickey Rourke's makeup, the lighting, seriously everything.Oh I have a good one.

The funny part is I remember they had problems with the film developers being some kind of sorcerers. When they did make-up tests for an Oriion slave girl, the footage kept coming back looking normal.
Yeah there are some episodes that they're pretty clearly lime green:
That's not the regular uniform. It's "casual duty attire".

When I first saw this, I thought it was a fakeout. Like Dwight was going to realize that his disguise sucked and he would need a more drastic change, leading to the Clive Owen reveal. I don't understand why you would do it this way. Even if you couldn't get Owen back, just save the transformation for the end of the story and have it be off screen.
i legit don't see a difference between any of these.RuPaul's makeup on Drag Race, season 8 with his longtime makeup artist Mathu Anderson:

The contouring in the cheeks is what I mainly notice as different.
That looks fine in a drawing, or a comic, but when you're just solid blue with nothing else in live action often just looks like...an actor with some blue makeup on. There's a good reason most superhero costumes or designs need a lot of texture or detail added in live action, including the very faithful ones. Sometimes too much but to go 1:1 with a comics design usually winds up looking like cosplay.I think he is saying Mystique doesn't need all that weird crap stuck all over her face in the first place.
