Makeup artists are also partly to blame since things that work normally, well, apparently even a minor difference in coloring between the makeup and the flesh shows up clearly... lighting is more critical as well from what he tells me.
I dunno if he knows what he's talking about though, he's only been with Technicolor for 22 years.

Ask him again after 25 years. A good photographer should know if the makeup or lighting isn't working in the shots...and should take steps to rectify it. If my product looks like shit, its
my fault, not the makeup artist or the lighting person.
That said, there is very little that can't somehow be improved on in post-edit with regards to color and hue correction. As I often shoot in available lighting...I'm always dealing with different lighting temps, unusual shadows and motion blur - and seldom do I end up with a photoset that I can't salvage in one way or another.
