Following are a few recommendations for our Brides and Quinceaneras when applying their makeup. These tips will help us accomplish a flawless photography session.
- Your skin should look fresh and dewy. Use a moisture balanced foundation and stick with yellow undertones as they work best with flash photography.
- Avoid shimmer highlighters or light refractive makeup. Excessive shimmer can turn into unflattering and highly reflective shine in your photos.
- Add a light dusting powder to prevent any unwanted shine. The use of heavy pressed powders can leave your skin looking chalky and lifeless in your photos.
- Use waterproof mascara in case you shed a few tears of joy. You certainly do not want run mascara in your photos.
- Wear blush and pick a pinky peach or rose shade. Don’t go too light with your blush, as flash photography can make you look washed out.
- Stay away from lip liners that are much darker than your lipstick. This looks very harsh and unnatural in pictures.
- Preferably wear a lipstick in the warm families; Roses, Pinks and Reds look great in pictures. Avoid neutrals and frosted lip colors as these shades can make you look pale and tired in your pictures.
