How to Apply Makeup for Photographs

Ever take a picture and your make up doesn't show? To look your best in photographs, relax, smile and follow some simple makeup tips to get a defined look that reflects on camera.



More articles......


Step1
Make sure your foundation is yellow-toned (this applies for all ethnic backgrounds).


Step2
If you are African-American, it's a good idea to have light, medium and dark shades of foundation to allow for different gradations of color on different parts of your face.


Step3
Use the right color blush so as not to look washed out. Layer natural color first, and make it "pop" with a brighter color on top.


Step4
Define your eyes with shadow, but avoid dark colors on the lid - they make the eyes recede. Add mascara, but don't overdo it.


Step5
Choose deeper or brighter colors for strong lighting. Soft lighting, or daylight, requires less intense colors.


Step6
Apply makeup that works with your style. Don't put on a lot of it for more effect, but instead use more color and a bit more definition.


Step7
Avoid dark liner, extremely glossy lips, shimmery or bright shadows, and foundation and powder that's too pale.


Step8
Use good definition - e.g., careful lining of the lips and eyes - for black-and-white photographs.

How to Apply Lipstick and Lip Liner

Lipstick adds the final touch to any makeup application. Lining the lips creates subtle definition and perfects the shape of the lips.

Step1
Consider your lipstick color and finish. You'll do well with colors that match the natural shade of your lips, opting for darker tones that complement your overall coloring. Matte lipsticks offer a muted finish complementary to workday makeup, while satin and gloss finishes offer appealing evening looks.


Step2
Apply all other makeup before putting on lipstick and lip liner.


Step3
Begin by dabbing on a very small amount of lip balm or petroleum jelly to give your lips a little moisture.


Step4
Draw a thin line along the edge of your lips with a lip liner whose color is one shade darker than your lipstick. Start at the center of the upper lip and work outward. Hug the very outer edges to open up thin lips, and line well within the edges to downplay excessively full lips.


Step5
Apply lipstick from the tube or by using a firm, small lipstick brush. Coat the lips evenly. Pay special attention to staying within the lips' edges.


Step6
Blot to remove any excess color and to even out the texture.


Step7
Remember to touch lips up after a meal, as lipstick easily transfers onto coffee cups, water bottles and soda cans.

How to Apply Glitter to Your Face and Body

Go glamorous by wearing a little glitter on your next evening out. Shimmer, shine, razzle or dazzle with silver, gold or a frosted pastel.



Step1
Take a moment to consider the look you'd like to achieve. Do you want to add sparkle to your face or shimmer to your body? Most products are face or body specific.


Step2
Consider the color of your makeup and the color of your outfit when selecting a shade. Gold complements a warmer complexion, while silver works best on cool-toned complexions. Match colored glitter to hues in your makeup and clothing.


Step3
Complete your makeup before applying glitter to your face. Using a very small amount of glitter, dab it gently near the eyes, just above the lash tips or at the outer corners of the eyes.


Step4
Get dressed before applying body glitter. Your choices will range between glitter powders, gels and lotions.


Step5
Focus on exposed skin, such as the chest, back, lower legs and tops of the feet. Place a small amount of the product in your hands and distribute a thin layer over the area you want to cover. Apply the glitter to your body using smooth, consistent strokes.


Step6
Enlist the help of a friend to access hard-to-reach places.

How to Apply Foundation

Foundation helps to even out skin tone and give the look of flawless skin. Apply in the morning and set with powder to keep a smooth complexion all day.



Step1
Begin with clean hands and a clean face.


Step2
Apply moisturizer appropriate to your skin type. Let it set a few minutes, particularly if your skin is oily.


Step3
Camouflage under-eye circles and blemishes with concealer.


Step4
Select a foundation that is appropriate to your skin type and the coverage you wish to achieve. The color should match your skin, disappearing when blended well.


Step5
Shake the bottle well to mix the formula. Or, simply open a stick or compact version.


Step6
Place a small amount of foundation on the back of one hand. Dip your makeup sponge or your middle finger into it.


Step7
Apply to the center of your face: cheeks, forehead, chin.


Step8
Blend out to your hair and jawline until the foundation vanishes. Pay special attention to blending around the nose, mouth and jawline.


Step9
Set the foundation with loose powder immediately following application.

How to Apply Blush

Bring radiance and glow to your face with a little sweep of blush. The application is quick and the results gratifying.



Step1
Select a color of blush that resembles the natural glow of your cheeks after you exercise. Consider having a lighter color for day, and a darker tone for a more dramatic evening look. Keep your blush in the same color family as your lipstick.


Step2
Consider the type of blush best suited to your skin type. Cream blush works very well for drier skin, as it can help to keep skin hydrated. Powder blush is better suited to oily skin.


Step3
Complete the application of foundation, powder and all eye makeup before applying blush.


Step4
Use a full, round brush for the application of your powder blush, as it will make for a softer and more professional look than the brush that comes with the blush. This should not be the same brush you use to apply your loose powder.


Step5
Place a small amount of blush on the brush and gently tap off any excess. Or, place a small amount of cream on your middle finger.


Step6
Look in the mirror and smile.


Step7
Place powder blush on the apple of your cheek and gently brush up your cheekbone toward your hairline. Dot cream blush beginning at the apple, and gently blend up the cheekbone toward the hairline.


Step8
Focus your blush at the outside of your face near your hairline if you have a fuller face. For high cheekbones, concentrate blush in the center of your face to accentuate your bones.


Step9
Blend a little blush down your cheek for a little more natural, less dramatic look.

How to Alleviate Puffy Eyes

Late nights, allergies, high salt intake or general stress can cause the unsightly phenomenon of puffy eyes. Luckily, there a number of tips and tricks to help with this common problem. Try any or all of these remedies to alleviate the look of puffy eyes.



Step1
Splash your entire face with the coldest water you can stand immediately after you wake up. Use either cold tap water or a mixture of cold water and ice cubes in a large bowl or tub. Splash your face for up to 5 minutes, if possible.


Step2
Prepare two tea bags by soaking them in water, wringing them out and chilling them in the refrigerator or freezer. Once they are chilled, lie down and place the bags on closed eyelids for 5 to 10 minutes.


Step3
Cut two slices off a cold cucumber, each approximately 1 /2 inch thick. Place a slice on each eyelid for 5 minutes.


Step4
Drink lots of water. Puffy eyes often indicate water retention, which you can alleviate by drinking plenty of liquids; this flushes excess salt from your system.


Step5
Remove contact lenses each night before bed to avoid puffiness caused by lens irritation and drying.


Step6
Use an aloe-based eye-soothing gel or cream.


Step7
Avoid rubbing eyes.
