Costume and Make Up

Costume and make up are a key thing in music videos. It is also something that is forever changing. In the 80's we would think that you would see a lot of bright colours and radical costumes but it seems that when you look at todays videos you are more likely to see that. 

10 years ago: 

This is the type of costumes that artists used to wear in their music videos. As you can see there are a lot of more glitter, big hair, pattens, and different range of materials that we see now. 

This is they type of hair and makeup styles that were around 10 years ago. As you can see the hair styles have changed quite a bit. The photo on the left shows a typical type of hair style that later went on to set a trend in fashion. On the right we have a more normal hair and makeup style. The makeup that they wore was very natural with hints of colour. For example the eye shadow. 

Now

As you can see in this picture. Now you tend to see a lot less clothing in videos than we used to. A lot more bright colours. Body image is a big thing in videos now, so looking good naked is seen to be a very desired thing and if you do have that then it seems you have to show it off. Videos are full of colour and bold designs, the bottom right picture shows this. 
The bottom left picture shows how now you see a lot of celebs showing off their wealth. 

This is the type of hair and makeup that we see in videos now. As you can see there is a big craze for wigs. And lots of colour. This is something thats makes the video stand out and makes the artist individual.
