Makeup for Photography in Istanbul
A camera sees makeup differently than the human eye. These are the adjustments that keep a look natural and flattering in photographs.
Know the Light
Window light is forgiving, while flash and studio strobes reveal every texture. Tell your makeup artist what lighting the photographer will use so the base, powder and highlight can be chosen to match.
Choose the Right Finish
Keep powder for the centre of the face and leave a soft satin finish elsewhere. Avoid products that cause flashback under flash, and test with a photo taken with flash before the shoot.
Define a Little More Than Usual
The camera softens features, so eyes, brows and lips need slightly more definition than for daily wear. In full-length shots, shaped brows and defined lashes carry the face.
Match Face and Body
Blend the base into the neck, chest and any visible skin. A colour difference between face and body is far more obvious in a photo than in person.
