Start with a Good Skincare Routine

A healthy and glowing complexion is the foundation of a camera-ready look. Develop a good skincare routine that includes cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing so you can keep your skin looking fresh and radiant.

Use Primer

A good quality primer will help your makeup last longer, appear more flawless and look smoother. Apply primer to your face before applying any foundation or concealer.

Match Your Foundation

Choose a foundation that matches your skin tone perfectly to ensure a natural and camera-ready look. Make sure to apply it evenly on your face to avoid looking “cakey” on camera.

Highlight & Contour

Use a highlighter and contour to accentuate your cheekbones, brow bone and cupid’s bow. On areas you want to accentuate, use highlighter. On areas you want to diminish, use a contour product, and be sure to blend in each product. This will add dimension to your face, making it appear more sculpted and allowing your features to pop, especially in photos.

Define Your Eyes

Use eyeliner, eyeshadow and mascara to define your eyes and make them appear larger and more vibrant. Apply a thin line of eyeliner along your lash line and finish with a few coats of mascara to achieve this look.

Fill in Your Brows

Well-groomed brows can frame your face and draw more attention to your face structure. Use a brow pencil or powder to fill in any sparse areas.

Use Setting Powder

Setting powder helps to lock in your makeup and prevent shine. Use a light dusting of powder on your T-zone and other areas prone to shine, so that your skin and complexion looks softer on camera.

Add Color to Your Cheeks & Lips

Use blush and lipstick or lip gloss to add a pop of color to your face. Choose colors that complement your skin tone and the colors of your outfit.

Keep it Simple

Avoid using too many bold colors or complex techniques, as this can look heavy or overdone in photos. Keep your makeup simple and natural-looking.
