Senior Week | Hair and Makeup
I have partnered up with my friend, Kristina at Natural Glam by K who is offering some great hair and makeup tips for your photos! Continue reading to see what she recommends so that you can look best for your pictures.
Makeup Tips
The flash of a camera will bounce off of makeup, so it's important that your blending of concealer is done well
Eye Shadow - Use colors that are not too heavy and match your skin tones
Eye Liner - The closer to the lash and tighter the line, the better
False Eyelashes - These really enhance your eyes in portraits, make sure you get a good looking natural set
Lips - Nude is a great choice for most people. This enhances the lip just enough to make it look natural.
Remember that makeup is there to enhance your already gorgeous features. You still want to look like yourself in your pictures, and not too overdone.
Hair Tips
Go a little messy - Hair that is too done will look stiff in photos. When you have it styled perfectly, toss it around just a little to loosen it up, the goal is to get some natural movement
Tame flyaways - To tame these little hairs, keep a toothbrush handy and spray it with hairspray to target your fly-aways without stiffening up your whole style. Most importantly, make sure to tame the fly-aways in and around your face, there is nothing worse than having a small hair in front of your eye in your photos
Flat hair looks really flat in photos - but don't add too much volume because you do not want your hair to look like a helmet!
It’s easy to make your photos look dated quickly with trendy hairstyles. Choose a classic style that is flattering and modern for a portrait that will stand the test of time. Most importantly, choose a style that makes you feel comfortable and look your best. Ultimately, it’s your confidence that will shine through to give you the best possible portrait!
