Are you
going to have a camera moment, a red carpet appearance, or any event? Our aim
is to highlight various points which, in applying makeup, you have to pay
proper attention to in order to get a good result on camera.
Applying More
Makeup
What I mean
here is applying more of your foundation, powder and other products to achieve flawless
finish. The reason for this is that for makeup on camera to appear neutral, it
has to be overdone slightly because, at the end of the day, it does not capture
the exact way and so you actually need more to work with.
Natural
Light
When doing
make up for camera shots, I advise you to work on natural light; this is
because the way you see yourself with natural light is exactly the same way you
will appear on
camera. Regardless of the fact that the makeup is slightly
overdone, you should apply and observe it in natural light. If it looks great
in natural light then it will surely look great on camera.
Primer
Be it face
primer or eye primer, the work is to keep makeup in place, smoothen and perfect
your skin; giving your skin a nylon touch. While taking photos or filming,
there is a lot of movement and you do not want your makeup fading off, or skin
looking rough after a few minutes. Therefore, priming is an important aspect
before applying makeup.
Avoid SPF
SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. It refers
to the ability of a sunscreen to block ultraviolet B (UVB) rays, which cause
sunburns, but not UVA rays, which are more likely to cause skin damage. Most
makeup products contain SPF that is made up of Titanium Dioxide or bits of Zinc
Oxide, which contains white particles that reflect on camera. Avoid lotions,
primers, concealers, make up with SPF, even if it is just a tiny bit.
Brows
Our brows
define and structure our face; take time to properly define and outline your
brows by filling them in a little bit and cleaning up the edges just to make
sure everything looks neat and well defined on camera.
Define your
face with blush, bronzers and a bit of contouring. Just applying foundation and
powder all over can make your face look flat on camera. Apply blush to the
apples of your cheeks; use darker shades to contour and lighter shades of
concealer/powder to highlight the bridge of your nose, under your eyes, on your
forehead and chin.
With these
few tips, you should be picture ready.
