How should a plus-sized woman apply makeup for best results in outdoor and indoor photos? |
My wedding reception is coming up in a few weeks. I am a big girl with very fair skin. In outdoor photos and flash photography I tend to white out and look like a marshmallow. What can I do to avoid this without looking like Divine? Does anyone have a helpful link or tip on how to look slimmer without looking very "made up?" Apply heavier makup to your eyes. Use blush to darken under the cheekbones and give you the hollowed cheek look. Also use a slightly darker foundation under your chin to minimize a double chin. The key to looking thiner in pictures is to have the camera "looking down" at you. So have the photgrapher stand above you whenever possible, looking down and it will easily cut 20 lbs. Go into a few department stores and ask the make-up counter to make you up with this in mind, then get a friend to photograph you. See what effect works best on you focus on the eyes. alot of eyeliner and mascara does wonders 1. Apply face stuff [moisturizer, concealer, foundation, powder--whatever] 2. Apply shimmery brown eyeshadow to your lids and BLEND 3. Put black eyeliner in the inside of your eye 4. Apply mascara sparingly but get every lash 5. Get a bronzer without talc [link!!] 6. Put one dash of rosy blush on your cheeks that you can't see a differencee..but trust me it'll add that color you'll need 6. chapstick, nude lipliner--that's it http://www.physiciansformula.com/staging... in light bronzer! The very best thing for you to do is start visiting make up counters at the better tors like Dillard's, 5th Ave, places like that. They have somewhat professional make up artists there that will help you find the look you want and then you will get the samples for free. If you do not feel confident that you an give yourself the look you want check into day spas. Most of those have wonderful make up people and they are inexpensive, finally you can always find a local Glamor Shots and they WILL do a killer job on your make up, you do not have to buy the photo package to get it done. Being plus size has nothing to do with it I have a friend that weighs in about 90 pounds soaking wet holding a bag of bricks and she has the same trouble. Good luck on your wedding! Generally, applying light bronzer and well placed blush/ rouge will help to combat any white out effect. Often you can have your makeup done professionally for a small fee at a department store, and they may know more. |
