How to do your makeup for a photoshoot

Doing your makeup for your family photoshoot in a way that is natural and “looks like you” is something I highly encourage. It’s important to me to capture you as you are, so I recommend a maximum of “soft glam”. Helping define your beautiful facial features with a bit of makeup helps the camera see what we see in person.

Need a bare bones idea of what to use? This is the product list and the order of application:

Tinted moisturizer (I use L’Oreal Glotion and LOVE the look)
Concealer/color corrector on any dark circles or acne
Cream blush
Sheer powder to set it all
Mascara last (brown is fine if black is too much)
Lip tint or something soft and subtle
Set it all with a glowy setting spray

Want online tutorials? I love Selena’s (check out her instagram here) makeup tutorials, it’s very much the soft but radiant styling that looks absolutely stunning in person AND on camera.

Practice a few times before your photoshoot so you know how to efficiently and effectively apply your preferred look.
