Here are my best basic tips:
- Use a primer made specifically for "blurring" pores and mattifying skin on areas of enlarged pores or where shine breaks through.
- Choose a foundation with a more matte or natural finish that is long-wearing
- Avoid loose powder to set your foundation. Choose a pressed powder that has a more natural finish and apply it sparingly.
- Choose a blush without heavy frost or shimmer
- Choose eye shadows without a lot of frost. Using all frosted eye shadows can sometimes cause them to photograph similar and wash out the color. Choose highly pigmented shades in matte formulas or ones with a light sparkle or shimmer instead.
- Don't skimp on liner or volumizing mascara! Making your lashes stand out is key in flattering your eyes in photography. Liner on your upper lashlines and volumizing mascara does the trick. You can also opt for false lashes if yours are very short or for an extra dramatic effect.
- Light contouring and highlighting can make a huge difference (see video for specific techniques)
- Choose a lip color darker than your natural lip shade with a bit of shine or shimmer

personally i love and recommend loose powder for oily or combo skin, if blotted on with a puff and then blended out with a brush, your makeup will last all day and look super flawless!

As a photographer, I'd like to add that avoiding shimmery or frosted highlighting around the brow area is a good thing. It often has a headlight effect in photos that is really hard to tone down.
ReplyDeleteUnique and best tips.Thanks to share.

The tips for looking FAB in photos with basic makeup are very valuable. As photography learner these are very informative for me. I faced some man capturing photos with so much make up which give totally artificial look. Destination wedding photographer
