Tips for Photographs : Eyeshadow Hints & Techniques for Getting Photographed

Video Transcript

"Eyes are so much fun, and there are really not a lot of rules. I’m going to give you some tips to some basic outlines. You’re going to get your picture taken, and you want to do your makeup extra special. Remember when the camera hits your face, with that flash, it’s going to remove, photographically 50% of your makeup. So you are going to have to apply it 50% more than you normally would. This means if you use a chocolate eyeliner, go ahead and wear black for your pictures, because once the flash hits it, it’s going to look brown. If you start off with your normal makeup and you get your picture taken, it’s going to look bare in the pictures. So you have to remember at least 50% more. I put a 100% more, so that way in the pictures you are extra looking good. But if you are not that brave, do at least 50% more, because once that flash hits you, it just removes, photographically, half of your makeup. So if you are applying makeup for a model, and she’s getting her picture taken, make sure you find out, is it a black and white picture, is it color film, is it 35 mm or is it digital film, is it indoors or is it outdoors. All those kind of questions, that you communicate with a photographer and the model, enable you to do the makeup correctly, and she’ll look her best on film. Then you get hired for more jobs, so it just makes you more efficient."
