Makeup for Models before a Photo-shoot 

Choosing your lip color and application: Make sure that your lip gloss is a solid color and about one shade deeper than you normally wear it.  Use a lip liner that is the same color as your lipstick, please, please DO NOT WEAR A DARK LINER! Also, try to avoid frosted lip colors entirely because they hardly show up on film and will give the illusion that you are not wearing lip color at all. Apply your blush and eye makeup a little heavier than normal but neatly and precisely. For best results, eye liner should be applied starting from the outside of the lower part of the eye and extending about 3/4 length toward the inner part. Really work on those eyes and lips. These are the two key features in glamour photography.

Use eye shadow which is a lighter shade rather than darker so that the eyes appear more alive.  Apply eye shadow to the upper eye lid and above the eye just below the eyebrow.  When a darker shade is used in this area it will create a darkening of the eyes and give the appearance of a sleepless night which is not very appealing.  Using a light shadow will produce the best results. Last, but not least, take your makeup case with you to your photo session. You may need to touch up during the shoot and will most likely need to add powder as your session advances. If you follow these simple steps for applying makeup you are more likely to be happy with your photographs. Most makeup complaints come when women have someone else apply their makeup for them. You are more experienced in applying your own makeup and, if you follow these instructions, you should be more than happy with your results. To make your photo session go smoother and faster, please apply your makeup before leaving home for the session.

 Most women know how to apply makeup for everyday use but there are a few differences in applying makeup for photos; especially glamour. If you follow the tips below, you will be on your way to better pictures.The key is to simply fix your face as if you were going out for the evening, wearing more than for daytime use, extra contrast and especially more powder. Did I mention more powder? To achieve that natural look in your portrait, apply a little more than you would in your daily activities and even more than you would if you were going out for the evening.
You will probably think you that you are wearing too much but remember that the lights take away from whatever amount of makeup you have on so don’t worry. How do you achieve this look? Follow the simple steps listed here and, with a little practice, you should be able to get the results you’re after.
The first step is to moisturize your face thoroughly and then begin with concealer. The concealer you use for photos should be 2 or 3 shades lighter than your skin tone. Concealer is used to hide blemishes, lighten your eyes and used if there is any discoloration around the lip area.
Next, use a solid foundation evenly applied over the face. This part is very simple but is misunderstood by even some makeup artists. Match the foundation to your chin and neckline. You don’t want a sudden change of color from your face to the neck or upper chest.After your foundation is finished, just apply the rest of your makeup as you normally do but in heavier amounts for the camera. Powder! Powder! Powder!
If you’ve ever seen makeup applied for TV or the movies, the makeup artist is almost always patting the face with the powder applicator. Ever wonder why? Because powder, and lots of it, is absolutely essential to gaining that beautiful matte finish which is always present in a great portrait. Even if you’ve never used powder in your life, please use it for just this once during your portrait session. Powder makes the difference between a beautiful portrait and just a portrait.

Hair and Makeup Tips For Swimsuit Models!

Depending on the photo shoot, your hair and make-up can range from bare and flat, to colorful and volumized. You want to deliver the best results as a model, and that includes knowing what is right and what is wrong for each type of photo shoot.  As a model you should know the necessary tools and tips for your hair and make-up. For a bikini model, the best approach to your hair and make-up is to keep your look clean, fresh and simple.
You want to look sexy yet natural as a Swimsuit model, so your make-up should be minimized. You should use only a little of foundation, think fresh and light. Remember, you could be getting wet as a bikini model, so do not use so much that your make-up will run. For your blush, you should pick a dark shade of pink, but not so dark that it appears unnatural. When you brush it on your cheeks, you’ll want to work from your cheekbones to your ears in an upward sweep. This will enhance the contour of your face and highlight your cheek bones. Since your eyes are considered to be “windows to your soul”, your eyes are an essential piece of the puzzle.
For your eye shadow, you should pick a light color that compliments your eyes, steering towards browns and grays. Although color is good, it can be problematic during a bikini shoot. Usually the purpose of a bikini shoot is to sell the bikini. You want the consumer to look at how great your body looks in the bikini and how great your overall look is. You do not want them just to concentrate on your eyes; it takes away attention from your body and the swimsuit.

 Tips for those who need to get their makeup done for a modeling gig!

 Arrive with a cleansed and well-moisturized face. Often times the makeup artist will apply a moisturizer or primer on top of what you have, which is okay. Just make sure you don’t have dry and flaky skin. Also make sure your lips are thoroughly moisturized with plain, non-colored lip balm.

 Bring a scarf or head band to tie your hair back from your face if you’re wearing it down. Applying foundation can get a little messy and has to be applied up to your hairline so having any strands in the way will not only be the end of the world.

Wear a button-up shirt you don’t have to pull over your head and that you don’t mind getting dirty. This will avoid the possibility of smearing your makeup or getting your outfit dirty. If you have to wear your outfit to the makeup appointment, bring a towel or cloth to wear around your neck to keep makeup off your clothes.

Have an idea of what makeup look you want before you get there. Be sure to choose a look that goes with whatever the theme or nature of the shoot is: dramatic, youthful, glamour, editorial, fashion, commercial, etc. This saves a lot of time and effort, not to mention that you’ll know exactly what you’ll be getting. Want to learn how to recreate your makeup look yourself?

Ask for a mirror and have the makeup artist explain what they are doing, how they are doing it and what tools they are using. This is a great way of getting a quick tutorial on how to apply certain types of makeup. With that knowledge and plenty of practice, you’ll eventually be able to do your own makeup for your shoots.

Don’t get too excited about purchasing products. I can’t tell you how easy it is to go overboard and spend way more than your required limit. Makeup artists are excellent sales people and they can easily convince you to buy more than you’ll actually need or even want. So practice self-control and only buy the items that you know you’ll use often.

I’ve found it extremely helpful to have false lashes applied during my makeovers. From glam to simple enhancers, having the right set of lashes can make a dramatic difference in your photos unless you already have naturally thick and full eyelashes. They usually don’t cost much and since you can’t take them back after wearing it, you’ll have to pay for them anyway so learn how to use false lashes to your benefit. I find them very helpful for fashion shows and during shoots where the focus is on my face.

Try to work with the same makeup artist for your gigs. Having someone who is already familiar with your face and skin cuts down on the whole introduction part and helps to speed up the process.

Communicate with your makeup artist. Let them know what your shoot is for and the type of look you want. Be sure to know your skin type and how your skin responds to makeup. Also note whether you’ll be shooting in a studio or outdoors. That piece of information alone will determine whether the makeup artist will need products that contain SPF for outdoors or matte foundation to eliminate the shine from studio lighting. To avoid being unhappy with your results, let the makeup artist know each step of the way if you like what they are doing.
