Makeup for a photo shoot

Make-up, timed for long-term filming of high-ranking persons and socialites, may well be used by aspiring careerists, whose financial future and stability in the literal sense depend not only on a colorful, but also on a spectacular image. Often ladies, whom nature has not deprived of beauty, shoot themselves from different angles.

There are several main rules for self-makeup for a photo shoot.

• To make the look more expressive at home color the upper lashes in several layers. As for the lower ones, a single layer is enough for them.

• Draw a thin arrow on the eyebrows: this will make the eyelashes thick and fluffy. For rare eyelashes, cover the upper part of the eyelid. To give the look a natural look, use the shading of the shadows and the leading contour.

• In the case of recreating a not quite ordinary image, apply shadows of pearlescent shades.

• Do not apply lipstick on dry lips: the layer may turn out to be heterogeneous, with a "wrinkled" look.

• Don't use shiny toners: the skin will seem oily, which will give the look and image some unkemptness. This means that glare is unacceptable in this case.

The process of step-by-step makeup creation in the studio and on the street will be different, but there is still a general rule. First of all, get rid of the oily sheen of the skin. However, it should not peel off either.

For studio makeup, there is a specific set of rules.

1. Add extra brightness to your makeup: it should turn out to be noticeably richer than for street photography. When choosing a natural make-up, it should be done at least correctly, in accordance with the recommendations of experienced makeup stylists.
2. To make your face smooth, prepare your skin first. Rinse thoroughly, then apply foundation to your skin. Cover it with moisturizer. Apply concealer to even out the shade all over your face.
3. Form your eyebrows carefully with a pencil. Define your lips clearly.
4. To prevent spreading of the applied cosmetics on the face, use persistent decorative cosmetics.... No matter how difficult the photo session is, your image will not deteriorate.
5. Draw the outlines of the forehead, nose and cheekbones, and select the outline of the eyes. The studio image is ready for mass shooting.

Some lovers of photo shoots arrange their events not only on the street, but also outside the city. For example, photos will look beautiful in summer or spring in a picturesque area like a forest. The spring image, for example, is done as follows.

1. Apply toning cream to your face. If the skin is even and smooth, without blemishes, then you can skip this step.
2. Execute eyeliner eyebrows and upper eyelashes in dark brown tones.
3. Lipstick lipstick cherry brown. The image of the spring beauty is ready.

Founders and celebrities are attracted by the variety of backgrounds that are difficult to achieve at home or in the studio, as well as the brightness of the resulting look and feel. So, green-eyed blondes and fair-haired girls can use the following instructions:

1. cover your face with cream to match your skin tone, but with a peach-bronze tint;
2. draw the arrows of the eyebrows in greyish brown;
3. line the eyelids with grayish shadows;
4. make the eyeliner with gray-brown mascara, marking the outer corners of their cut;
5. paint your lips with pale pink lipstick with a lilac shade.

You get a mixture of smokey ice with nude. Suitable for green-eyed girls.

The task of clothes is to draw the attention of viewers to your beauty. Weather, time of year and urban or rural settings have a significant impact on the particular colors and care products used in the exterior.

A photo session is an event that in many ways resembles a wedding ceremony. Even the smallest flaws are immediately striking. Correct makeup provides its owner with a good mood. And a smiling person, when his positive emotions come from the heart, acquires additional attractiveness in his new image. At the same time, the ease and ease of behavior allow you to quickly, quickly and, most importantly, effectively carry out a photo session. The image in all cases is natural, vibrant, artistic or creative.

It doesn't matter if you are a star or a simple family woman. If you are expecting a baby, then to make the pictures spectacular, you need makeup that emphasizes a specific area and hides the not quite ideal appearance of the skin, which was caused by the processes accompanying pregnancy.

The deadline for the photo session is 27-33 weeks. For example, a pregnant blonde can do the following:

1. apply a foundation to match your skin color;
2. outline the arrows of the eyebrows with a brown pencil;
3. draw the color of the pencil over the eyelashes, do not shade the eyelids;
4. paint your lips with bright red (you can take scarlet) lipstick.

The peculiarity of black and white photographs is that they are combined with a monochrome image. Simply put, color spread is useless: many shades will not be perceived in detail. However, significant differences in color will be perceived adequately by the public. Do not forget about the clear contour drawing of the image.

1. Apply the corrector under the eyes, which is slightly lighter than skin tone.
2. Select the center of the forehead, the bridge of the nose, the hollow above the chin. Darken the area under the cheekbones, the hollows in the temples, the contour of the lower jaw, the area under the chin using the darkening corrector. This will create a smoky effect without streaking or staining.
3. No blush needed here: they will give the impression of a dirty face. The highlighter will give the face a light dust effect.
4. Accentuate your eyebrows: cover them with a pencil or shade. Excessive darkening is not recommended. Do not allow gaps: they are very clearly visible in the picture. Smooth your brows using gel.
5. Prefer dark colors for lipstick: dim would make the lips almost invisible. A plum or burgundy hue is just right here.

Unlike previous cases, the New Year's image can be both bright and gentle. Both rich and nude makeup look great in their own way. The girl's clothes play an important role here: the outfit is complemented by rhinestones, sequins, glitter, etc. There are actually several New Year's trends. With regard to evening makeup, the following tips can be given.

1. Pay close attention to the quality of your mascara. It is not recommended to save on it. Take a closer look at the one you need and test it a few days before the final sample of the new image on New Year's Eve. Do not choose a product that is too liquid. Mascara with golden glitters will give an effect to the image.
2. Sculpt your face with 3D tonic creams... This makes the forehead and cheeks more drawn in, flat. The 3D effect significantly hides the imperfections of the face, while giving it expressiveness.
3. Create a zoom effect by lightening individual zones, a farther effect - by slightly darkening... The forehead, the area under the eyes and the chin should be brought closer, and the cheekbones, temples and hairline should be removed.
4. The visual lengthening of the neck is achieved with a darkening shade. Together with the neck, they cover the bridge of the nose with a darkening cream: this makes the nose more elongated.

The New Year's image is ready.

As previously noted, you can prepare a "street" look for a wedding. The only difference between secular and exclusively wedding photography is the bride's white outfit. There are some that can be borrowed from beauty photography, but too flashy features (for example, golden / silver eyeliner) should be removed. Step-by-step instructions for girls with light brown and dark hair shades are as follows.

1. Apply a cream toner to match your complexion. If the face is dark or after prolonged tanning, then apply a thicker layer of tonic, but so that it does not look like a mask.
2. Line up your lashes with dark brown mascarawithout indicating the corners of the eye section.
3. Draw eyebrow arrows (smooth arc) with a brown pencil.
4. Lipstick lipstick of raspberry, plum, red-violet or cherry color.

For female athletes, the femininity of the image should be somewhat more moderate. She should emphasize the muscles, especially when the girl decided to pull the bar. Catchy images in the style of an informal woman here will do more harm than emphasize the appearance of an athlete. In some cases, soft nude images are used.

A short step-by-step guide might be as follows:

1. apply a tonic cream of an even, uniform shade that matches your skin color;
2. outline the arrows of the eyebrows with a dull pencil: dark gray, light brown;
3. use a grayish-brown mascara to blend the eyelashes;
4. lipstick should be discreet.

The image will turn out to be daytime or evening, as well as rather light, without being overloaded with contrasting details.

There are many thematic images. Each of the girls can fit into the image of a fairy, angel or, say, a mermaid.

One interesting example is a character named Jade from the Mortal Kombat series. To parody this image, this girl followed the following step-by-step instructions.

1. she put green contact lenses on her gray eyes;
2. summed up the outer corners of the eyes, clearly and widely outlining them;
3. then I added mascara to the eyelashes, which made them voluminous;
4. I made eyebrows more invisible by using a light brown pencil;
5. fitting into the image, I sunbathed in a solarium before a photo session for two weeks (otherwise, a swarthy make-up of the whole body would be required);
6. on the day of the photo session, she dressed in a defiantly frank green outfit (according to the scenario of the game);
7. the lady covered her face and neck with a darkening tonic to match the tan, hiding the moles.

Another popular cosplay is Princess Kitana. The model, who played the role of Kitana in a similar photo session, took the following steps in turn.

1. The lady clearly traced the arrows of the eyebrows... Since there are not so many green-eyed girls, it was much easier to portray the appearance of this character.
2. She designed the eyelashes and eyelids using the technique smokey ice.
3. There is no need to darken the skin when copying the image of Kitana: unlike the dark-skinned Jade, this character is completely white-skinned according to the plot of the game. This model applied a light tonic cream as a base for her face.

Let's take a look at some of the tips that professional makeup artists have shared.

• Use a magnifying mirror to properly apply cosmetics. This allows you to detect and remove unnoticed flaws in time. The staff must be flawless.

• Understand the foundation first. It allows you to improve the color and tone of the skin, eliminate minor imperfections in the form of inappropriate moles, freckles, which in everyday life would immediately catch your eye.

• Don't go overboard with the thickness of the tonal layer. After the external minor flaws are hidden, stop: too thick a layer of tonic cream turns into creating a mask effect that is noticeable even to an observant beginner.

• Shoot yourself in a new perspective before going out.... Watch closely for the slightest change. It is useful to do this at least two or three days in advance: the slightest mistake in the choice of makeup can completely ruin the photo session.

Let's move away from specific images and take a broader look at makeup for photo shoots. So, blondes - a multifaceted type, calmly and without compromising the quality of the shooting, enduring many experiments with the selection of colors and shades, textures and shapes.

Girls with naturally light hair do not apply cosmetics without figuring out how the resulting image will be combined with eye color... Unnatural blondes often “try on” an image created by skin color.Flashy black eyeliner does not go to blondes. The tonic cream is selected so that the natural complexion is not disturbed. Pencil and ink are also used very sparingly, carefully, in dosage. The blush is selected in warm shades, with a slightly pinkish tint.

With brown-haired women, everything is somewhat different. Their natural expressiveness, memorable image gives them the opportunity to use several different techniques for applying cosmetics. However, unlike blondes, it is not pink, but cherry red lipstick that suits them. The tonic cream has shades of milk chocolate or lightly tinted caramel. Shadows are chosen to match the color of the iris of the eyes.

Fair-haired young ladies are a cold color type, and it is important to accentuate it correctly... Cream-tonic is selected in a yellowish-beige color. Coldish pinkish shades are used as blush. As a result, the girl looks refreshed and rejuvenated.

Red-haired beauties - an almost complete image, at the same time flashy and memorable... The task of makeup artists is to emphasize less noticeable details of the appearance, while pushing into the background too defiant ones. This is a ready-made bright type, so cosmetics must be used in such a way as to soften some of the features of the appearance.

Green-eyed girls fall into a special category. They use a contrasting eyelash liner in black and green shades or khaki, as well as red, burgundy and black, brown. Which, by the way, is reported by the aforementioned image of Jade with black eyelash shading. As for the shadows, turquoise, peach, yellow, blue, marsh, reds, copper shades and bright greens are used. A rich palette of colors makes the created image unusual, original in its own way.

To top it off, here are a couple more examples: winter and summer looks. In winter, the image is rich and expressive. But you can't call it bright. Clothes and other attributes will play the main role in this case. Matte shades and the rejection of glitter is required, the only exception is the celebration of the New Year.

The summer look excludes the presence of sunburn: because of it, the woman looks older than her years. The make-up image should be natural, and the first thing that comes to mind of a professional stylist-make-up artist will certainly be a nude style. Spray with glitter hair is not used: it will seem that you have dandruff. The bright image is emphasized by the same clothes: it will harmoniously complement it.
