How to look good in pictures is a question many girls ask. We want to know how to look good in pictures so we won’t be embarrassed by the pictures we are tagged in on Facebook and other social networking sites. We also want to have cute pictures of ourselves looking, well, cute! Here are 10 tips on how to look good in pictures using make up! These are tips that can be for a professional photographer's shot or even just for your camera phone!
1. USE MATTES
Mattes are flat colors. They don’t have any sparkle or shimmer. When you're going to be photographed you want to avoid anything that is going to reflect light on your face. The camera flash and the added shimmer will leave you looking like an oil spill and not your beautiful self. This is one tip on how to look good in pictures that I use all of the time!
2. APPLY IN NATURAL LIGHT
For best results apply your make up in natural light. Indoor lighting can alter the appearance of your make up. Some lights may wash you, out causing you to apply make up too heavily. We've all seen pictures of ourselves where we thought our make up was good before we left the house, but in pictures we are left to wonder what went wrong and how to look better in future pictures.
3. USE YELLOW TINTED POWDER
Yellow tinted powder is better than shimmery or translucent powders for pictures. The other powders will reflect the light, leaving you with a shine. They may also leave you looking washed out in pictures. I’m sure neither of these looks are what you have in mind when trying to figure out how to look good in photos.
4. BLEND IN UNDER EYE CONCEALER
Most of us try to cover up dark circles under our eyes with a little concealer. For everyday use this is fine, but occasionally in pictures under eye concealer comes off a little harsh. Blend out the concealer extremely well. If your concealer isn’t well blended it may reveal fine lines and awkward coloring around the eye.
