Hi everyone! For this post we wrote about make up.
As you may have read before, Weekly Look is our closest to heart project, as we, the team behind,
are more and more motivated and encouraged to work harder and deliver more. Each look brings
new challenges that make us learn and search for more detailed inside industry info so that our looks
will be more and more fantastic.
In this blog post we will cover some important tips and tricks on makeup and photography we are
following so that we have the best result possible. There is no great secret, no special products
behind makeup for photo shooting, still some recommendations need to be followed.
It is very important to have the whole team involved and listen to each one’s ideas (makeup artist,
stylist, hair stylist, photograph) as we decide specific details of the session like the purpose of the
shoot, the lighting, the theme, whether we will do a B&W or a color shooting and who will be
our model. The perfect model for shooting should have a flawless skin, harmonized features and,
preferably, light-color eyes, skin and hair.
Before starting the makeup, it is very important to settle what light should be used, indoor or
outdoor, and apply the makeup accordingly, using the same light. In studio condition and flash, the
makeup may need to have more definition. Needless to say, the foundation must match exactly the
skin tone and the face must match the body and the exterior light, for example, is merciless and will
accentuate any flaw.
For color photography, it is very important that the foundation matches the skin exactly, the texture
is even on the skin and a skin-tone powder is used with measure.
For black and white photography it is OK to avoid shimmer or bronzer. Instead, the makeup artist just
needs to define the model features.
The work of the makeup artist is not done once the makeup is completed, but it will continue after,
making changes, as the photographer starts shooting, It is essential to analyse the first shoot to have
the photographer’s opinion on how is makeup working or not working with his own lighting.
‘There are no rules for makeup’, just creativity!
