What Does a Hair & Makeup Artist Do?
A Hair & Makeup Artist (HMU) prepares on-camera talent for broadcast, commercial, corporate, and film productions. They apply makeup to reduce shine, even skin tones, and ensure talent looks polished under studio and field lighting. They also style hair for continuity across multiple shots and shooting days. HMUs work quickly between takes to maintain a consistent on-camera appearance.
