Makeup Tips for Photography

Bronzer

Use a powder bronzer to add a touch of sun to your skin.

  1. Focus the product more on areas of your face where the sun naturally shines like your temples, forehead, nose, chin and cheeks.
  2. You can use bronzer to contour your cheeks by applying the product to the hollows of your cheeks; pull the bronzer down your neck to blend the color down.
  3. Again, if you’re wearing low tops, apply bronzer to the area above your cleavage.
  4. In a half moon shape, run a fluffy brush with bronzer over the top of your breasts, and over your collar bone, shoulders, and down the center of your chest.

Try:

  • Powder Bronzer in the light shade by Milani,
  • and for a brighter-appearing face, go over the areas of your face the sun touches like the temples, forehead, chin, cheeks and nose with a different tone of bronzer like Wet & Wild Bronzer in Bali Bronze.

Blush

Blush is just as important as bronzer when it comes to ensuring you don’t look washed-out in pictures.

  1. Find a flattering color like Cover Girl Cheekers blush in Golden Pink to contour you cheeks.
  2. Suck your cheeks in and apply the blush a little below the apples of the cheeks to add shape and shadow to your cheekbones. You’ll want to apply the blush slightly heavier than a normal day since the lights can drain color from your skin.
  3. Follow up with another blush; a popular one is Milani Minerals Blush in Mai Tai, which flatters all skin tones. Use the second color on the apples of your cheeks, and be sure to avoid the nose and blend the color out well.

Finishing Touch

Find a translucent powder like Bare Minerals Mineral Veil to top the face makeup off. This powder will keep your makeup in place longer, and is very light on the skin.

Other options include finding a toning makeup mist or setting spray to spray onto your completed makeup after you’ve finished applying eye and lip makeup.
