Professional Makeup for Photo Shoots

Professional makeup for photography and video

“We have reached the end of the course, I hope you have enjoyed it a lot and that you have learned a lot and these will serve you for your future projects. Before we say goodbye, let's review the key phases of the project. It would be great if you briefly explain what you have done in each one and accompany the explanation with one or more images. Theme and idea The first step we have to take is to choose the theme of the session. Then, look for a model and think about what goes best with the theme. Think about the light you are going to have for the session - if it is harder or softer - to see the intensity of your makeup. Also look at the styling and, once you have it, think of something and get inspired by what you prefer. If you can't think of anything, you can search online to get concrete ideas and help you in the process. Making a mood board is a great way to organize all the information we've collected and the decisions we've made.

Preparation Once you have the idea, adapt it to your model. It is very important that it suits you. As creative as the makeup is, you have to adapt it. Take a good look at the color of the light that you have on your makeup vanity to prevent the different changes of the tones that may appear, so that when you are on set and the light is tested, the makeup does not change color. If you can, make your model's head straight, as if it were a canvas, and place them in front of a mirror. Look at the mirror at all times, this will help you see that everything is fine, that it is symmetrical and equal on both sides. In preparing for my shoot, I have chosen to create simple makeup and styling that flatters Sara. I have also agreed on the light with the photographer. In addition, I have decided that my model wears her hair down during the photos and, in terms of makeup, use earth colors, aubergine, wine tones with a satin touch... A simple makeup that I have chosen to be able to show you all its possibilities. Makeup Let your imagination run wild with makeup and enjoy the process while you do it. You can do whatever you want, a more natural or social makeup, or something more creative. But remember to always go according to the idea of the whole. In Unit 3 I showed you this whole process step by step. Session and final result Once you're done, dress your model and make sure to put the finishing touches on it. Then, do a light test on the photo and check again that everything looks the way you want on the screen. If not, make the adjustments that you consider; if you need to tone the skin, raise the makeup a little... My advice is that you always stay short and you can add, since going down is sometimes more complicated. Be aware of the touch-ups while the session lasts and the desired photo is achieved. When you have it, you can finish your final project. You got it! Now share your final project with all of us by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result of your project and the steps that have led you to it. I am looking forward to seeing your project and giving you feedback. Although I ask for your patience, I will try to access the forum as much as I can and what my professional projects allow me. Finally, I want to invite you to actively participate in the forum, not only sharing your progress, but also giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. It sure is very enriching! See you on the forum! ”
