My photography partner, Amanda, of www.amandamaxphotography.com<\/a> and I share a site that features mostly high school senior portraits<\/a>\u00a0 – Professional Hair & Makeup comes with every session package we offer, so there’s no guess work – – especially since HS girls are only in the first few years of doing their own makeup…so, getting it done professionally is an amazing way to pick up tips to use for life.<\/p>\n

However, for my headshot site, www.brandinphotography.com<\/a> makeup is optional, since so many actors are on a tight budget.\u00a0 This often leaves a LOT of guess work….\u00a0 I always include a list of tips in my “before shoot info sheet”, but I started thinking a video tutorial could be helpful too.<\/p>\n

Below you\u2019ll find one of my favorite natural makeup tutorials on YouTube.\u00a0 You\u2019ll notice in the video that the makeup is little punched up beyond \u201cnatural\u201d, so, I would suggest leaving out the black top liner for a more natural look & replace it with a softly smudged dark brown liner.\u00a0\u00a0 However, you may add the black liner for your final look of the day if you’re wanting to do a “Sexy Smoldering Eyes” look….always a favorite!<\/p>\n

Regardless of the look you’re doing you should absolutely SKIP THESE STEPS in the following video tutorial:\u00a0 2 items she applies that really don\u2019t work for Actor Headshots<\/a> are:<\/p>\n

1. white liner in the inner rim of the eye often washes away with blinking, & can sometimes smear a bit with the under eyeliner, resulting in retouching fees \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

2. Luminescent highlighter she uses toward the end of the video on her upper cheekbones is very often \u201cbad for camera\u201d.\u00a0 What looks dewey and glowy in person, can look sweaty & glaring on camera.\u00a0 Stick to MATTE powder, MATTE bronzer as well to avoid having a shiny face.<\/p>\n

Hope this Video helps!
