An upcoming beauty shoot means that it’s time to choose the perfect makeup look. Forgoing hiring a makeup artist to do the makeup yourself? Check out the following six tips for flawless makeup.
Start with a Blank Slate
Every photo shoot should begin with a fresh application of makeup. Makeup should always be applied to a moisturized and cleansed face in order to get the best results in front of the camera.
Use the Best Lighting
Just as lighting makes a big difference during a photo shoot, it is important to have the right lighting when applying makeup. If possible, makeup should be applied in an area with ample natural light. If natural light isn’t available, it is helpful to put makeup on in a well-lit room with bright lights in order to ensure that the makeup is evenly applied.
Don’t Forget the Primer
Someone that is applying makeup for a photo shoot should always start the application process with primer. A primer will act as a base that will help the makeup to go on smoothly. Moreover, the best primer helps to create a pore-less and even finish on the skin in the photos.
Avoid Mineral Makeup
Mineral makeup is often used for everyday makeup wear but should be avoided for photo shoots. On camera, mineral makeup creates a very shiny look on the skin. Instead of using mineral makeup, it is better to use makeup that will create a matte finish on one’s skin.
Set Your Foundation
One’s beauty routine for photo shoots should always include a matte powder that will be used to set the foundation. After applying foundation to the face, the matte powder should be used to eliminate any wetness from the foundation. In addition to applying the powder after using foundation, it is a good idea to carry it along on the photo shoot, as it will help to keep one’s face camera ready throughout the shoot.
Play up the Eyes
While it is a good idea to avoid glitter or shimmer, it is also a great idea to play up one’s eyes. Try out various satin or matte shades to find the right combination to really make the eyes pop. Along with eyeshadow and eyeliner, it’s important to use a fair amount of mascara to really give one’s eyes the right look.
These makeup tips are essential helpful hints that anyone can use for an upcoming photo shoot. Be sure to apply these six suggestions when getting camera-ready.
