You deserve to feel fantastic.
Considering hiring a makeup artist for your next family photo session. Hiring a makeup artist not only supports a local business but helps you feel fantastic on camera when you are being immortalized in family photos. So if it would make you feel good- hire a makeup artist and hairstylist for your next family shoot.
If you are planning to do your makeup yourself here are a few tips.
1. Skin Prep
Exfoliate, moisturize and apply primer.
2. Concealer
Brighten up darkness in the corners of your eye and provide a base for eye shadow. Don't add concealer under the eye until later keep it fresh.
3. Eye Shadow and Liner
Apply matte eye shadows. Use matte eye shadows because sometimes shimmer eye shadows can cause issues with camera
4. Brows
Brows are important for photos because they frame the eye. Lighter brows can sometimes get lost in photos. Use brow pomade to fill in brows and highlight.
5. Foundation
For photos I would recommend a medium to full coverage. Apply foundation after your eye shadows to avoid any shadow getting in your foundation and making it muddy.
6. Contouring
Camera friendly contour to help define under cheek bones and jaw line. The jawline contour is important during photos to create definition between your face and neck.
7. Concealer
Go back underneath your eye and over any blemishes or discolorations.
8. Face Powder
Set makeup and take out any shine.
9. Mascara
Apply it after powder so that if there is any powder on your lashes the mascara will clean it up.
10. Lip Colour
For this look you want your eyes to be the focal point but you need to apply a little colour so your lips aren't lost in the photo.
So there you have it, some quick tips for your next family photo shoot. Try this a few times before the photo shoot so you have time to practice the look and don't forget to go a little bolder that you normally would. Follow these tips and you feel and look fantastic in that next family photo.
