Applying make-up for a photo shoot is not the same as applying it for a daytime or evening look. You can wear more neutral colors during the day, there needs to be a different thought process when applying makeup for pictures. It’s not that difficult to learn and if you follow the tips below, you will be on your way to better makeup results for yourPhotoshoot.
- Before you apply makeup, start with smooth, toned and moisturized skin. If necessary. This minimizes uneven or artificial looking makeup application and promotes a healthy & glowing look.
- Apply concealer as usual, taking extra care to conceal under-eye bags and discoloring using a yellow based concealer as this helps brighten the eye as well as hide unwanted colors underneath.
- Now, you’ll want to use a good, solid foundation and apply it evenly over the face. Match the foundation to your chin and neckline, you and the camera will see a sudden change of color from your face to the neck or upper chest.
- Bronze or Blush: Various makeup effects can be achieved with blush. Bronzer makeup powder is widely successful and produces a natural or lightly sculpted look, depending on its application.
- Define your eyes with shadow, add mascara, but don’t overdo it.
- Good blending of all eyeshadow is essential. The harsh flash lighting from photography will highlight unblended edges making the make-up appear badly applied. A good range of brushes is essential for good blending.
- The same rule for eyeliner applies to mascara. Brown mascara won’t usually show up in pictures. If it does show up, it will be very subtle and your eyes will more than likely appear to look washed out.
- Make sure lip colors don’t have a frosted effect, as this won’t show up in photos. Apply a lip liner before the lipstick or else the lip color will look faded.
