PERFECT MAKEUP & TIPS FOR TAKING KILLER PHOTOS
Its always nice to know what professionals do at a real photo shoot to help you achieve an airbrushed finish for your wedding photos or even when your just hanging out with your friends taking pictures.
Here are 7 makeup tips that will give you a flawless finish:
1. Foundation is the base for the rest of your makeup so you can choose from a tinted moisturizer for a sheer coverage to a medium to heavy foundation for more coverage. Look for a formula that has light-reflecting pigments because they soften imperfections while brighten your complexion.
2. Shinny makeup with a hint of luminosity adds a youthful radiance to the skin that is beautiful in pictures. Add a shimmery white, champagne or gold pencil in the inner corner of the eyes to make them pop!
3. Shadow in plum or bronze tones brighten your eyes.
4. Blush in pink and peachy hues with a golden cast really warms up the face in a natural way, don't be afraid of hot pink because just a dab on the cheeks looks very natural.
5. Glossing up your lips makes your mouth more supple but don't add too much gloss as just a bit looks more natural. You can always add a gloss with a blue undertone to make your teeth appear whiter.
6. T-zone must be in control so dust a little powder on shine spots (forehead,nose and chin).
7. Bronzer is placed on forehead, cheekbones, jawline because it contours and lifts those areas giving the illusion of a thinner face.
Posture tips to make you look leaner in photos:
1. Keep your shoulders back and downward but relaxed.
2. Lengthen neck but keep head straight and chin a bit down, many people tend to
lift their chin up and the photos are all neck and throat and very little face showing.
3. For males to achieve the Brad Pitt look bite on your back teeth to pop the jaw bone.
4. Ask the photographer to shoot from above it has a slimming effect on the face.
5. Avoid standing straight to the camera because it expands your body showing your face and body at the widest. Instead hold your head and shoulders angled away from the camera.
6. Keep elbows pointed slightly outward away from your body because if your arm lays flat then it appears to look less toned.
7. Say peaches to give the perfect real smile as it will make your cheeks look perfect and happy.
