The Official Site has a massive article on makeup with tons of new pictures including a new pic of Padm?. Great stuff - here's a clip to get you to head over there!

The nightclub sequence provided a huge assignment for Vanderwalt, and her team doubled in size from a basic team of four to a team of eight. "We started off thinking it was going to be quiet, but then George said keep pushing it, go further. We had some nice full body makeups and some rainbow body makeups and things like that. That was fun. We didn't have a lot of time, though, since we had to get everybody ready in three-and-a-half hours, but I think we all achieved a great look, in the hair and wardrobe and the makeup."

Once the makeup is applied, Vanderwalt watches the shooting process to see if the makeup requires any touching up. "Usually for a wide shot, you can see from where you are that the person's okay. If they're out in the heat and they're sweating, we wait until the camera gets in tighter to go in and check to see if the makeup's sitting okay."

The use of HD cameras was a new experience for Vanderwalt and her team, though they adapted to it easily. "We did makeup tests in the beginning. I think we were all quite frightened, you know, as to what were we going to see, because it's such a clear image. I suppose, though, we're always careful and that's what you try to be regardless of format."

Vanderwalt's trained eye had to compete with the unerring detail of the HD image, which would pick up every little blemish or imperfection. "Natalie had scratched her head changing clothes, and it made an indentation that was visible to my eye. But on the monitors, we couldn't really see it. I was discussing it with [Director of Photography] David Tattersall what would happen once it was on a big screen -- would we be able to see it? I was still concerned, because I could see it, but everyone assured me that it was okay."

In at least one case, though, a noticeable scar worked in the makeup team's favor. "With Temuera Morrison (Jango Fett), we couldn't change him too much because he was in another show at the time. At the beginning of the shoot, though, he walked into a door on the set of the other production. The makeup artist from the other job rang me and said, 'oh, it's terrible. He's got a black eye and he's got a cut above his eye!' We thought, great, we'll use it. When it healed itself, we just kept applying it."

That, and this old Homing Beacon with details on the international mixes of Star Wars.
