Those Extremely Close Shot Beauty Shows...... - Page 2

Lipstickdiva · ‎03-10-2010

I flipped around the other night and Courtney was hosting an IT beauty show and they were doing that super close up with her. I cannot even remember what line she was hosting. I had to change the channel because that camera work is ridiculous.

My intent was not to broad-stroke it by saying wrinkles are a turn-off. My point was that they are selling beauty products that supposedly temporarily remove fine lines & wrinkles, show a lit from within glow, smooth pores, etc. We've all heard those sales pitches in nearly every show.

Yet the presentations in those extreme close-ups in hyper-focused HD & glare do exactly the opposite of what they intend -- at least for me. Plus, they always look so shiny up that close.

I'll be 60 years old next month. I'm no youngster. I also don't walk around with an HD camera and TV lights around my neck.

I much prefer the mature hosts selling beauty products for the very reason that I'm one of them and can see what the items might do for me.

I just do not like the "in your face, shiny glare" presentations of them. At all.

I wasn't talking about your post, @Caaareful Shopper . I agree with it. It was another post that seemed to be a put down to aging.

Fear not Brothers and Sisters! I have read THE BOOK..........we win!!!

I don't watch QVC but some of the YT channels are starting to shoot in 4K and when they zoom in REALLY close and you're watching on a 4K 32" monitor, their faces are bigger than mine and everything is visible.

@rms1954 I understand your point of view. BUT, MaryBeth is a lovely lady. And like anyone who lives to a certain age we show signs that we are not a vibrant 25 year old anymore. She mentioned recently that she has arthritis and also her hands shake at times. I think she has aged gracefully. Do not worry , you will see changes like this also if you live long enough. Have a great day darling.

Hi darling. What would I have to worry about? I have witnessed these changes in myself, gracefully or not, people age with wrinkles and body changes. I am well aware of this and would not want my face in a closeup shot on camera. That's all i am saying. Maybe I misunderstood the point of the OP's topic. You seem to assume that I am a vibrant 25 year old. I am 67 soon.

Showing older/aged woman in a close-up does not promote the product because powders and such just increase the aging of the face. Unless of course you have perfect skin, lovely or not the person is. I forget you can't say anything about MB around here.
