"This is our finished photographic makeup look. It looks natural still, but it has a little more umph for photographs. You can wear this out and no one will know the difference. If you're not a huge makeup person and your normally wear your makeup natural, then you just need to know that for photographic makeup, you want your foundation a little thicker, your powder a little thicker, your eyes a little more dramatic. You definitely want to accentuate the crease of the eye. A little more eyeliner. Definitely accentuate your eyelashes. Separate them. Make sure that they're curled. That Bambi eyelash look looks great on camera. Definitely accentuate your cheekbones. Make sure that you use a nice complementary blush and use it a little deeper than you normally would. Again, lipstick. Make sure you use a color that's a little neutral still, but it's got a little more umph so that on camera you look like you're wearing something, and a little gloss always helps. Also, keep the skin pretty matte. Here eyes have a little bit of a glow and her lips have a little bit of a glow, but that's about it. Her skin's pretty matte, so it's not going to look like she's oily or dewy, or glowy on camera. It's going to be a nice matte look. That's about it. I'm Jenny Karl.
