Features of the camera are such that in the picture itcan capture even the smallest shortcomings, making them more sharp and marked. And sometimes there are flaws in the picture, which in the original is not at all. The secret of beautiful photos of professional models - makeup for photography. How to choose the right make-up for photography?





Let's start with tonal basis for face. The fact is that in the photo the skin of the face looks paler than it actually is (most often due to a flash). Therefore, the color of the tonal basis (and all further makeup) should be chosen brighter than usual. All shortcomings (pryshchiki, redness) must be pre-masked with a special masking agent (concealer). And then apply a tonal basis. By the way, do not forget that if you open your ears, décolletage, then they should also apply a tonal basis. Otherwise your face will be different in color.



Oily gloss on the skin often spoils the impression of seemingly even very good photos. Therefore, when preparing for photography, do not forget about matting powder. And to choose powder is better friable, as it is more favorable to a skin, than compact.



Also it is necessary to select the cheekbones, the wings of the nose andthe chin line, in order to give the person in the photo a relief by playing light and shadow. To do this, you can use a darker than the basic powder or matte beige blush. Bright blush will give a fresh look to the skin of the cheeks, temples.


The shape and color of the eyebrows is the next accent. For photography (and in normal life too) eyebrows should be the color of your hair or no more than 2 shades darker. If your eyebrows are too light you can emphasize them with a pencil for eyebrows. At the same time, the line should not be drawn as a continuous one, but as a discontinuous one, imitating the natural growth of the eyebrows. To keep the shape of the eyebrows at the time of photography, you can take advantage of special fixing gel.



For eye makeup should choose shadow palette natural shades, for example, beige,brown, smoky gray, gray-violet, champagne, the color of melted milk and ivory. Too bright or dark shadows in makeup for the eyes should be avoided - they do not look good in amateur photography. But you can safely use shadows with a light shine - they will add to your eyes shine. But carcasses for eyelashes can not spare - for photography it does not happen much.



To highlight your eyes on the photo, use the effect «Smoky eyes». To put a pencil on a contour of a century and to shade. Apply shadows of a natural shade above the area where the pencil is shaded, and pearlescent shadows are applied to the corners of the eyes and the line under the eyebrows. To feather so that the boundaries of the shadows and the pencil are not noticeable. Visually, you can add volume to your eyes, using a soft light pencil along the inner edge of the eyelids.



To make up the lips, you should first emphasize the lips contour. If you want your lips to look more plump, then a contour pencil is better to use a light beige shade. Choosing lipstick for photography, you should avoid getting too paleor acid shades, to refrain from iridescent lip glosses that can "light" half a face. Good for photographing refreshing shades of lipstick: peach, light coral, pink.


By observing these simple rules, you will always look great in any photos!
