The Best Make up to Wear for Pictures

Have you ever wondered what the best type of makeup to wear is when you are getting your photo taken? I am getting married in 6 weeks and I know that my photo will be taken more that day then any other day in my life. The first thing you have to apply is a good makeup base such as a primer or concealer. A good makeup primer or concealer will hide and cover any imperfections such as large pores, spots, uneven skin tone even freckles.

A solid base includes making sure eye circles are disguised and any skin perfections are hidden away. Once you have your base together the next thing to consider is foundation. Your foundation should always match your skin tone in natural sunlight. Something to always make sure is that your face and your neck are the same color. A good way to know if a foundation is the right color is to do a swipe of the foundation down your cheek - if the color blends in and you can hardly notice it - that is the best color to wear. If you can clearly see the line of foundation - you have the wrong color of foundation.

After the primer and foundation is in place it is time to start thinking about natural powders.  Powders are great for creating that perfect matt finish. My favorite Oregon Wedding Photographer Jaysun Spieth always encourages brides to wear a lot of powder to ensure every picture is perfect! After you have achieved the perfect powder finish a good bronzer should be applied to the tip of your nose, the middle of your forehead and to your cheeks. These are the points on your face that get the most natural sunlight.

Once you are finished with all the above steps you are ready to move on to color. When adding color apply your makeup like you are going out in the evening. Wear a little more makeup and darker then usual to make sure the color comes out well in photos.

Good Luck!
