Booking a photo session is always a special moment, but it brings some questions. For example, how can you properly style your hair and do your makeup for the photoshoot? Should you hire a professional? Or can you do it yourself? It seems complicated, but don’t worry! We brought some amazing makeup and hair tips for a photoshoot so you can look your best in the pics. Let’s see what they are.
- Don’t use too much powder
A common mistake that people often make is to use too much powder when applying makeup on themselves. In case you don’t know, this product is used at the end of the application to finish the look and set the makeup. Yet, using too much powder can make wrinkles and fine lines more visible, and overall, it brings a lot of attention to the skin texture.
This tip can help you in any photo shoot, especially during the boudoir shoot, since it is more intimate and natural than the others.
- Practice on yourself
If you know what you want to look like in the photo shoot, start practicing the look some days before the session. Dress like you will on the day and practice different hair and makeup styles. That will give you confidence and help you make the right decision. Try to search for diverse styles concerning the type of photoshoot you’ll be doing online to have some good references.
- Use a primer
The primer is an essential makeup product that needs to be used on the day of the photoshoot. Use it before applying foundation so it can seal your skin moisture, creating that beautiful and natural “blurring” effect. This will help you with both the glow of your skin and minimize the look of pores. If you are doing a close-up, do not skip this step.
- Create volume
To have fuller-looking hair, it is a good idea to create volume on it. There are some processes you can do, but which one is best depends on your hair, so you should test them before shooting.
Blow drying is what most people do to create volume. It is a great and simple way to style your hair, and many online tutorials teach you how to do it properly.
- A little hairspray helps
Hairspray can help you keep your hair still and styled the way you want for a longer period, which can be pretty useful if you do a photoshoot on open places, such as beaches, parks, etc. However, it is also a great help for a more intimate photoshoot. Yet, be careful! Too much hairspray can make your hair look too still and bizarre.
