How To Apply Make up with photos

1. Start with the base. Apply concealer as usual, taking extra care to conceal under-eye bags and discolouring using a yellow based concealer as this helps brighten the eye as well as hide unwanted colours underneath. For any around-the-nose redness a green pigmented concealer works wonders evening out the skin tones.
   
   
   
2. Add foundation                                                                                                                          You may need your usual base foundation and a "highlighting" foundation on top for certain areas such as cheeks and on eyelids-as a primer. Foundation should be a bit more noticeable than usual because in photos the flash will usually make you look paler and a bit washed out so more foundation helps conquer these problems. When using powder only a very light dusting is needed-less than usual just to 'set' the foundation and help it stay. So it doesn't make the foundation paler. Use a translucent powder as this will not change the colour of the foundation.
   
   
   
3.  When using eyeshadow always do the crease of your eye. Many people enjoy wearing one color of eyeshadow, but in pictures a single eyeshadow color usually doesn’t show up, especially if you’re using neutral tones. Make sure to apply a dark color on to the crease of your eye. You can either do the full crease or just the outer crease. This will make your eyes appear rounder and it will accent your other makeup as well.
   
   
   
4. For eyeliner and mascara- use dark. Preferably black not brown so it actually shows up in the photos. Brown mascara is commonly seen as being less noticeable and more natural so black is best.
   
   
   
5. Go a little heavy on the blush so you don't end up looking pale and a tad washed out in the final on-screen photo. A rosy pink adds a natural yet noticeable glow to cheeks.
   
   
   
6. The same goes for lips. If you don't normally wear any sort of stick or gloss on your lips then it may be an idea to do so. If you don't want to wear a heavy lipstick then a sheer or colour-tinted gloss can work wonders for the photo. It can make lips look fuller, plumper and less dried out and give them a sparkly or shiny tint or add colour to plain lips.
